Pretty sure they're talking about those in the EW articles, aren't they?
It's not a big deal at all.
Kinda like all the variations there were for Rogue One. It'll just be some four-packs & shit.

I love Pokken!
Oh, the Rey thing?
She's not a Skywalker. She's apparently a clone created by Darth Vader on Kamino based off of a powerful Jedi he killed prior to the start of the OT, whose family sigil actually became the basis for the Rebellion's logo. Unfortunately, almost entire project was a bust and the all of the clones were eradicated as part of Operation Cinder. But one was saved thanks to a sympathetic scientist who decided to leave her on Jakku where she could never be found, but implanted with false memories of a family to disorient her as well.
Rey also finds out her real name towards the end: Rey Marek.
I mean, why do you think her powers only got amplified on Starkiller Base?
I'll take that paycheck, Kathy.
I like TFU so yeah i will take this.
Haven't heard of them... what's their hit single?

I doubt it. It'll probably only appear in a few shots.

May be nothing substantial, but somebody on Reddit noticed this little countdown on the Verizon Up rewards site...
Commence getting prematurely excited!

Early ticket sales? *shrug*

Did Phasma lose her helmet in the galactic dumpster?
Seems like something to do with tickets, judging from the description but..
This early? That's what.. two months and a few days before TFA?

All I know is that some pool fool is going to stay up until midnight or 3AM on nothing but the vague promise of something quite possibly not even TLJ-related.
Which is pretty much par for the course at this point

It's probably gonna be the chance to sign up for an early alert for ticket pre-sales or some shit.
No way sales are going up now.

When will we get a impression from George Lucas about TLJ? Looking forward to that thread

I seem to recall George being a lot more energetic about RO than TFA.
Can't remember the title but it sounded very punk rock with a lot of mumbling lyrics about bringing down the government.
He seemed very bitter about TFA

No he didn't.
"I think the fans are going to love it. It's very much the kind of movie they've been looking for."
"I created them, I'm very intimately involved in them, and I sold them to the white slavers that take these things and ..."
Nah not bitter
So unless I'm blind, the countdown just restarts when it hits 0:00:00

I'm still riding this train hard:
Luke either A) doesn't know Rey is his daughter or B) thought she was dead
Rey's mother either had Rey beyond Luke's knowledge or he thought she and Rey died in some event
Almost 100% Kylo Ren knows who she is even if she *isn't* a Skywalker. The "WHAT GIRL?!" after the escape from Jakku is pretty blatant.
I think this points to Luke's wife/Rey's mother being A) dead, and him thinking she was along with Rey, or B) she was a force user that turned evil, and could end up being the big-big bad (I think Snoke is a patsy).
That's my take.

Probably better than what they'll come with at the end...

Sounds more and more like Luke doesn't want anything to do with the galaxy at all. He knows the old order failed, he failed, he probably thinks it best if the Jedi stayed gone.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
So the first Rogue One trailer was released a year ago today, eh? The first trailer for TLJ must be coming soon.
Although the first official trailer for TFA didn't come out until October, so who friggin knows.

No, that's not bitter.
Jesus Christ.
I know for a fact you've been involved in the conversations that discussed this shit thoroughly, so this is apparently another example of you just... deciding it's going to just be one way for you? I guess. I dunno.
He's not bitter about making 4 billion selling his company and watching them make more movies with it.
It's not an "example" of anything. You're seeing things.
He seems at least bitter, not about making and giving away money, which is an awesome decision, but about what Lucasfilm decided to do with EP7 and the fact that they largely discard what he cooked up.
You don't have to agree. But for real dude, you make a way bigger deal out of shit sometimes than it needs to be. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. It's just an observation.
Chill out with your ridiculous judgements

They just kinda drew over one of the last shots of TFA and added Porgs to it.
This is projection.
