    Article in The Hollywood Reporter:


    Lots of interesting facts and informations surrounding the pictures and recordings we saw e.g.:
    A good read although it contains some factual errors here and there (minor stuff).

    Really don't want to be a thread bumper but I'm afraid people are missing this great article because they think this post was about that image. I really can recommend that article. Nice infos for every fan.

    Was a good read. Thanks for posting.

    They mention in there that a picture spoiled a plot point - that "Driver was to play a bad guy. But him in an X-Wing outfit makes him a good guy, too."

    I know we have all assumed he is a villain, and I'd be surprised if he isn't, but has there been any confirmation of this?

    i don't think there's been any confirmation on any of the new characters, other than Ridley being signed to all three films. however, everyone has been saying that Driver is a bad guy, which could be a lie as easily as it could be a truth. time will tell, i guess!

    I guess maybe I was reading the statement in the article too literally, they could have just been referring to the overwhelming assumption that Driver is our bad guy.

    No there was no confirmation. Also I think as nice as the author wrote the article is he is not a die-hard fan as most of us here so I think at the end of the day we know more than him in regards to VII.

    I'm hoping the Mystery Box really is a thing and that all the news we've seen is all bogus. I'd love nothing more than to think I know it all, then be blown to smithereens when the film drops.

    Side note: The Smithereens. Great band. Look them up.

    I've read rumors that there are artists doing concept work specifically to throw everyone off the trail.

    J.J. you naughty boy!! (But I so hope that's true)

    Even with all the rumors, we pretty much know next to nothing about this movie haha. We really have no idea what Leia or any of the new characters roles will be.

    I for one am hoping Carrie Fisher's role is a. small and b. blurry. She was my 'go to' when I was 12 if you get my drift, but time and chemicals have not been kind to Ms. Fisher.

    I wouldn't doubt it about the concept art. I started reading the Dark Horse books as soon as I heard about that Rebels Easter egg and was laughing at all the stuff that was "leaked" right out of those books.

    Agreed. As fun as it is researching and posting about these "leaks" and other things related to the new movie, I wouldn't be bummed at all if I went into the film expecting one thing and got something completely different. I suppose the official novelization will be released before the movie, so it really applies there as opposed to the movie itself.

    Do you have links to those concept art rumours? Keep in mind though that SOME stuff has already indirectly been confirmed. Kira's home for example. We heard from people who saw the set. It was on a German site and I really doubt the guy is working for LF or BR.

    I don't have links to the rumors. Wanna know why? I'm no rat!! Dat's why!!

    Actually it wasn't anything confirmed. I think I read some dude speculate on it much like me and this august body are doing right now.

    "I rather enjoy not knowing."
    -Kevin Spacey in that movie what's about Savannah and gardens

    That thang is sick, sick, SICK!! Wicked nasty, that!

    It reminds me of......of....help me out here. Some other movie? Indiana Jones? No.....no.

    Twilight? Nah not Twilight. Twilight....yeah...like it would be....Alien vs. Predator!! No.........


    Really though, that is really nice work. I think ALL SW films should get that treatment, yeah?
