    So today's news is HUGE in understanding what TFA is about and MSW posts nothing about it. Just links to the pictures. I'm not trying to bash him, but it's very suspect that we finally have some backstory and confirmed info and he goes silent. He doesn't address it. He's probably too busy trying to figure out how to fit this information into his narrative. I've been saying this all along, the movie JW sees in his head isn't the movie we will see in December.

    These articles give me hope that we will see more Luke and no stupid light saber falling through space like he insists is happening.

    1) No need to create a thread to bash another news site. I enjoy the good MSW tease once in a while. But this is just sad.

    2) Much of what he's posted has been true. In fact, "The Seven" he's referred to for months seems to be the Knights of the First Order.

    3) You are right. He IS likely crafting how this will fit into his narrative. But that is because he has been right with all he's originally posting. So he's filling in more pieces. You are right that the movie won't be exactly the same. But don't deny that the basic plot points Jason has mentioned are false by any means. He's actually done a great job at providing information and if anything, you should be thanking him for doing what he's doing. It's fun and entertaining. If you don't like what you're reading, don't go there. Simple as that.

    aw c'mon, leave the man alone. so he has some panache and an ego to match; let him do his thing. whether anyone on this site likes it or not, Jason and MSW are part of the online Star Wars community and, like the rest of us, they get a little over excited at times. if MSW is silent at these revelations let's not think how wrong they must be, but how awesome JJ, KK, and TPTB are at keeping a lid on this until now.

    We must have read different articles. I see nothing mentioned by EW that is a direct shot at the narrative or info MSW have built up/using.

    How does this suggest more screen time or prove MSW wrong? If anything they are saying Ford is in a lead role and Hamill isn't

    How on earth are you drawing a line connecting the EW article to "no sabre in space". They only mention it IS the cloud city sabre/anakin sabre.

    no argument there. i just don't understand how slagging off MSW makes a lick of sense when all the people around here are making up wild fantasies about what may or may not be included in the future films. live and let live, i say!

    You know what. He has been basically correct about scenes and images, but not plot. Not substance. Not motivations. He does his podcast like he knows. He doesn't. He's dead wrong about the light saber which means he can be wrong about a lot more, including Luke. While some people may not like me pointing this out, I've spent too much time following this movie and watching people defend his speculation to not point out when he's been proven wrong.

    You know what, you only live once. I'm bashing him. He's wrong about a lot and I'm loving it.

    Then why do you listen to it? If you think you're wasting your time, ignore it. You just sound worse than he does.

    ok, first off, your avatar picture is amazing. (sorry, off topic, i know. light up those Vader buttons.)

    Jason is definitely not ideal... but he does his thing. the worse, if wiser, side of myself tells me he's a profiteering jerk; then i remember that only a true geek can suffer through this much Star Wars without wanting to dig their eyes out with a spoon.

    The EW article says that the lightsaber is already in Leia's possession; this would put the kibosh on the "saber in space" bantha-poodoo.

    You obviously haven't seen how he conducts himself beyond his own site. I went there a few times before interacting with him here (before he was banned), and I've never gone back.

    also, for the record, i totally thought this thread was going to be about Kylo Ren's character or something, not about how Jason is a darsh.

    on that thought, do you think Kylo Ren will be as darshy as Jason? can we get a poll?
    --- Double Post Merged, Aug 13, 2015, Original Post Date: Aug 13, 2015 ---
    you know, Kylo Ren THINKS/KNOWS he's right. sound familiar? huh? huh? ;)

    I thought the MSW synopsis has the sabre in space > down to planet > put inside BB8 > given to Maz > Maz gives it to leia (like we see in teaser 2)?

    or something to that effect

    "I'm not trying to bash him, but..."

    Sorry, but I find all of this hilarious! I think we should have an entire thread devoted to just this line, where it is the start of every single post that follows. It is kind of like how when someone says, "With all due respect..." you know the most disrespectful thing is about to follow. Such a thread wouldn't even have to be devoted to JW or MSW, just anyone that someone disagrees with or gets annoyed with. You don't like the fact that Luke only has a cameo? "I'm not trying to bash him, but JJ Abrams is the worst person in the history of Hollywood." You don't like how misogynistic someone sounds when talking about female leads in action movies? I'm not trying to bash him, but that guy is a sexist pig!"

    It would just be a great place for everyone to air their justified and unjustified grievances...

    EDIT: BTW, I'm not saying either of the two examples above are unjustified... "I don't mean to bash him, but Dark Toilet doesn't understand legitimate criticism!"

    He's done plenty of crap. For example, he posted a news article revealing the first photo of General Hux after this site revealed Admiral Ackbar. But we don't need a thread on it. That's what is sad. How much you guys really care to hate him is what is sad...

    This exactly. I try not to read his site. I'll go to Reddit Star Wars leaks and here, that's it. He's just not someone I can support. He's a Star Wars fan and I respect that, but he doesn't like his speculation challenged. That I can't respect.

    Today I went to his site to see what he was going to say about the EW article and saw he was silent. Big confirmed info like Knights of Ren, Leia being in possession of the saber, etc, etc. He has nothing to add. If it was an article saying the saber falls out of the sky and Naka picks it up, he'd be pounding his chest.

    Now enough about Jason.....how about that EW article??!!

    It doesn't say that Leia starts the movie wielding Luke's saber saber. Breznican is just commenting on the second teaser. He doesn't say when it happens other than Leia does come into acquiring the Bespin saber, which according to the leaked filming outline happens later in the movie.

    Entertainment Weekly in general has shied away from acknowledging the Making Star Wars leaks in general, unlike other websites like Slashfilm.

    you know you've made it at StarWars7News when people refer to you by your initials. JW, you're up there with JJ and KK! (only we're busy bashing you.)


    hot damn... that's the image of hate, right there!


    yeah, change of pace!
