    the problem is in the way they've been presented. They were presented as if you were an insider slowly leaking photos from the set or leaking a photo of Luke Skywalker, when in reality you meant for them to be "hype" pieces or tweets or whatever. When you say something along the lines of "idk when the trailer will come out, but I can tell you it's going to blow you away" that makes it sound as though you've seen the trailer, whereas "idk when the trailer will come out but I bet it will blow you away" makes it easier to understand that you haven't seen it and are just excited to see it like the rest of us. Because you've become the "trailer guy"

    See this is classic, by the book liar MO. Just ignore the stuff you get caught on and hope people will forget and that your next bet will pay off. I don't like this dude. Like I said, I think his behavior is #1 dishonorable and #2 creepy.

    I'm calm man. Someone said here he is, if you got something to say tell him. That's all I'm doing. He seems like a fan I don't think there's anything wrong with being a fan. Don't have to pretend to be an insider when he's not.

    Sure, they're images sent to someone to celebrate an anniversary a long time ago on Twitter, the main thing to take away from it is the note, the others a blurry image of a cavernous like environment, with rigging /lighting / plates in place. For what or where, who cares, it's not important they're unimpressive and absolutely nothing worth saving on your HD. There's very little mystery there.

    Actually the what and where matter quite a bit, because "a long time ago in a blurry Galaxy far far away" implies that this is a photo from the set. Also these weren't "private messages" these were directly from your Twitter account. Obviously you tweeted these pictures because they were good enough to fool people. You gave them ambiguous titles, but specific enough to LEAD people to certain conclusions without putting your ass on the line so that when people finally called you out on it, you had a ready made, albeit flimsy, answer. You surely knew, given the hype surrounding this film, that posting what LOOKED like a light saber and a green screen and what looked like a film set would give you a small amount of credibility. I ask you, when someone tweets a picture of what looks like a film set and quotes it with "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" what is your immediate conclusion?

    I've just read your comments, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion, but here's the thing, I don't claim to be anyone other than some guy on Twitter, which I am. So I can't really answer your claims to me being "caught out" or what have you, because I'm not sure what's meant by it lol.

    I'll tell you this, I get many rumors about me, each week I'm a new person, Shia Labouf, Gregg Grunberg, JJ Abrams the list goes on, if I paid attention to what people thought or said, it'd probably annoy me, but tbh, this is all 1's and 0's and I just talk on Twitter, that's it. I'm perplexed people talk about me at all tbh, I'm not looking for attention. I just talk about flicks, (in private) on Twitter. That's it, so if that's what I've been caught out on... THEN HANDS HELD UP, I'm guilty as charged. Take me away boys, (and girls). *Man hope there's some nice girls to cuff me. Preferably dressed in Leia's Jedi garb. Any would do, including the bounty hunter. Anway, I digress. Hope that helps a little.

    PS. Relax man, no need to be quite so combative, but it's all good.

    MTFBWY.

    Great post. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm going to go ahead and guess it won't be long before he pulls the "ok you don't want my insight fine I'm offended/taking my ball and going home" card.

    Those images were on my feed directed at people, from years before I got an influx of people, on unrelated tweets. I don't know what you want from me? To say they're fake pictures of blurry cropped out items that kinda look like stuff? To say I was seeking attention? If this were true, I'd say. I'm on private for a reason. I'm not seeking limelight or attention. Those who know me, know me, those who don't, don't. I can't really help with that.

    I will state this though, why would I fake those? Seems kind of odd behaviour, and inconsistent with everything that came later? Was I looking for lots of SW followers? If so when all these people later flooded my feed, why'd I go private? Just saying, it doesn't add up. If you know me of course and what transpired before and after, which you probably don't, and that's nobodies fault. I went private. I talk in private, to movie fans, like myself. Not seeking to prove myself, or state I'm an insider, or scooper. I'm just "guy on Twitter." That's it.

    Alright dude here's the thing. You seem like a cool dude and a big fan. I know you haven't claimed a specific connection to the film makers. I don't know or care who has claimed to know who you are. The thing is, anyone following your activity as it concerns TFA will, very reasonably, take it that you are presenting yourself as someone with knowledge that the rest of us don't have. You can get into the legalese of what you literally said, but it's clear as day that you've trying to pass yourself off as someone with insider knowledge. I don't know why you're doing that because as well as I can remember you've never been right about anything that wasn't already common knowledge. It's simple stuff dude. Like I said earlier, when we all expected the trailer at midnight and it didn't show up, you said something like "ok guys, my source says it's midnight in another time zone." It's super obvious you were just betting on safe predictions and wanted to get credit for knowing stuff we didn't. Why does that matter? It's not even that serious but come on. We all understand the appeal, it feels cool to be the guy to reveal the secret. That basic idea has led to pages and pages of fake leaks. You've just been caught on it a lot. I totally understand you posting here as a Star Wars fan. But making a thread addressing some supposed impersonators is just silly and we're all tired of
    stuff like this. You really don't have to claim knowledge you don't have to be relevant on this board.

    I appreciate that and I understand that you're on private so your motivation isn't "followers", but there is never an answer where you don't dance around the question. Mainly I'm curious as to where that neon lit picture is from, because, again, since you didn't answer my question, why would you tweet a picture of what looks like a movie set with the caption "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" if you didn't want people to think it was from the production or wherever. If it's just some random picture then come out and say it. Some of what you say makes sense, but you avoid the questions that you don't want to answer very well.

    I'm not on this board though, I came here specifically to address something else entirely, but ended up answering questions from years back, that are trivial and unimportant, that I'm kind of baffled. The initial rumor was about me and I was directed here as the source, which was later verified by staff.

    Seems some feel I want people to think I'm standing above them on a fan pedestal, which isn't the case, I don't even understand the mentality tbh, nobody is better than anyone else. I like SW, I'm not an uber fan. I don't want credit, or attention. I'm more perplexed why people think that when my actions seem to show otherwise. I don't claim knowledge, I don't claim anything. I love cinema, and talking about it with fellow film fans. That's all there is to it really.

    I really can't be any clearer.

    MTFBWY, and enjoy The Force Awakening.

    Were obviously not making progress here. I don't really care about why you started this thread. If you think that your lying and pretending to know things you didn't is trivial and unimportant, then well, I will take that as your answer and advise everyone here to refer to that answer if you ever claim insider knowledge again. You can say that's not what you were doing but we're not idiots. Its actually disrespectful of you to bat your eye lashes and say "oh you guys thought I claiming to know something you didn't?" Hopefully you scratched that itch and won't try it again, because the days of people wondering when Gabriel Gray says the next trailer is going to drop or what this or that means, those days are over.

    I think that is the point... I don't recall HIM saying that. I recall someone ELSE saying that, and people claiming it was him, when it wasn't... if there was a post where he said something about sources and midnight, could you please direct me to it, because at the moment I am unaware of GG saying anything about it

    Seems that this drama will gauge my interest while I wait for more BFZ spoilers.

    Timezones *sighs*

    More on topic, I don't really know anything about this guy. According to 99% of the people here Mr Gray (I like 'Heroes' too man...) is a serial fake leaker that chooses to dance around the questions directed at him.

    I think it would just be great if everyone could just like...not be a dick.
