    Supershadow is
    Want me to bet you on something...
    You'll get the same kind of excuses from this so-called spoilerific web site 20 years from now: fakingstarwars.net. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Looking back to TFA. I think the only "big thing" to come from social media (forums/boards/reddit) was the snoke picture from neogaf and some toy packaging? All of which only came out early do to overzealous retailers. Mizzlewump was probably the only big outlier of course. I don't expect much to change for VIII. SWNN/MSW/SWU will get all the real info, whilst 4chan fan-fiction creators look for their 60 seconds of fame.

    Yeah, and Plaid_Harvest.

    In retrospect, occasionally you get a guy that saw or was told a tiny portion of filming named jimjamjim. I think King3000 knew some stuff too. But there were distortions along the way.

    But by default you should assume that people are full of s***, because 99% of the time, they are. That's why I scoff at people all the time. By doing so, I'm going to be correct 99% of the time I do that, and wrong 1% of the time unless I recognize who the tiny exceptions to Tales From The Assâ„¢ club are along the way.

    If you find yourself reading the daily drivel from reddit/4chan/other and nodding your head thinking "that sounds cool/awful so it must be real" a lot, you're going to be wrong nearly constantly. That's just the way it is.

    Very well said.

    BTW, there was a post on Reddit recently about Rogue One. It sounded very plausible. It took me some time but I finally know that it's not true as well.

    I didn't post it because I thought it was legit. It's just fodder for discussion. Which is the point of this thread, right? Reading all this BS for kicks.

    Yep sometimes it is good for giggles, and it sharpens the senses to look what the intention is and what is wrong with them.

    Back to the script leak: that was insulting lazy, Rian posted the first page already and Snoke doesn't have a lair, he is on a mobile command post according to Star Wars.com. I wish those guys would put more heart in their work;).

    Other mods never were able to get confirmation from the original poster donors been deemed to be fake.

    Not necessarily...there are different colors hat various drafts should be printed on so you can actually tell what draft it is by looking at the colors of the paper.

    Is that real?

    The imgur posts are screenshots of the 4chan "leak" since the front page is already fake, it is fake too.
    Just go to the Star Wars.com link, they didn't even get Snokes command post right. He is not in a lair.
