My friend said that maybe he's using Vader's helmet as his own?
Negative, it's just "battle damage"

Or maybe "Sith" is just a generic term for bad guy on the trading cards. Could be they didn't want to spoil Knights of Ren for everyone who hasn't read about it on the internet. Although they apparently had no problem spoiling Finn and Rey.

Or maybe Knights of Ren are like a "New Order" version of the Sith like the First Order is the new version of the Empire. The Knights of Ren have to be associated with Sith somehow with the red lightsaber and dark side powers and such.
Spoiler:
From what has been said, the Knights of Ren sounds like junior varsity Sith. Unless they're misdirecting us.

Sort of telling that the main characters, with the exception of Po Dameron, don't have full names.

More speculation...

Spoiler:


Finn Solo? Rey Solo? Rey Skywalker? Kylo Skywalker?

The alleged spoilers that have leaked make me think that Kylo Ren isn't the offspring of Han Solo even though Adam Driver sort of has a Harrison Ford-y look about him. Finn could be the grandson of Han Solo and his wife from the comics. Daisy Ridley definitely looks like she could ne Natalie Portman's sister, so I think it's a given that she's is the daughter of Luke or Leia. Or Luke and Leia if they're going the Game of Thrones route.

I remember an old comic book that had a humorous short story about Skippy the Jedi droid. Skippy was the R2 droid that Uncle Owen almost bought in ANH until it blew its fuse. The comic revealed why that droid blew its fuse. Basically the droid was a Jedi and it could foresee that it was necessary fate for Uncle Owen to buy R2D2 instead so it purposefully sacrificed itself for the greater good.

That comic was hilarious, and it is better than I can describe it in words. It was written by Peter David who also wrote some great Marvel and DC comics.

It would be awesome if they actually made Skippy canon.
I don't even want to know how Skippy got the midichlorians in him.

I have to wonder if they are giving too many people lightsabers. The Iniqisitors and

stormtroopers with lightsabers? I saw one rumor that the First Order did train Finn to use a lightsaber.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015, Abrams) S: Hamill, Ford, Fisher

UPDATE 10/15: We’ve heard from multiple sources that here’s what’s happening with Star Wars: The Force Awakens this weekend.

First, we’ll get to see the official one sheet on Sunday morning.

Second, the trailer will debut Monday night, roughly around 8pm EST.

Third, tickets will go on sale very soon after that, likely around 8:30pm EST. They should be available at most, if not all, ticketing sites and theaters.

Original 10/14 article, which now has some of its grey areas clarified, follows:

If you want to be among the first to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens, be on your computer Friday. Screencrush reports, and we can confirm, that theaters around the country have been contacted by Disney to prepare to sell advanced tickets for the film this Friday, October 16.

There’s no specific time yet revealed when they’ll go on sale, but it may be noon EST. Or it could be Monday. They just have to be ready by Friday.

When tickets do go on sale, they’ll be for screenings of the film starting at 7pm on December 17 through January 3. In addition, you’ll be able to get a tickets for a seven movie marathon, from The Phantom Menace to The Force Awakens, which will start at 4am and conclude with a 7pm screening. The movie then runs 136 minutes.

Oh, and rumor has it, Disney will celebrate ticket sales even bigger on Monday the 19th, by premiering a new, final trailer for the film during Monday Night Football on ESPN.

Expect official confirmation from StarWars.com soon, and the trailer right here as soon as it’s live.

136 minutes. I think that's the first I've heard the confirmed run time.

Star Wars--121 min
Empire-----124 min
Jedi---------131 min
Phantom---133 min
Clones-----142 min
Sith--------140 min

Glad they're keeping it kind of short. Strange how the two films that feel the most epic are the shortest.

If you had asked me, I would have guessed TPM was the longest, followed by ANH. I'm surprised they are the shortest of each trilogy.

Those ratings are already huge for MNF, can't imagine what they'll be with a new Star Wars trailer added onto that.

Knowing Disney, it will probably premiere on every major network Monday night...not just the ones they own.

One sheet is out:



Some observations:

- This looks more like photoshop than Drew Struzan to me.

- With the look of that new super weapon, they might as well have called it Death Star III.

- Leia appears to be sporting some serious Amidala hair.

- Could that be Maz Kanata to the left of Artoo?

- Billing order has changed since the cast announcement. The big three come first, then Driver, Ridley and Boyega.

- Michael Arndt still got a screenwriting credit.
