[Rumor] Potential 4chan Episode VII Leak Part 2: Possible spoilers within. Read at your own risk!

Read on at your own risk.

• The premise of the film is that the Force has become stronger and more potent. There is a great tremor in the Force early in the film; those familiar with the Force feel as if its fundamental nature has somehow changed, while previously oblivious Force-sensitive individuals suddenly realize that they have a gift. This creates a great dichotomy of where to go, because neither Luke nor the antagonists are ready for this new liberation of awareness.
• Following the repression of the Empire and the Jedi purge, the Force is finally manifesting itself in more people who have the capacity to use it. In this context, it appears as if the Force wants to be used.

John Boyega, Luke Skywalker, and Daisy Ridley

• Boyega is, for all intents and purposes, the “new Luke Skywalker” (with a touch of Han Solo thrown in). He realizes he’s Force-sensitive when he feels the aforementioned tremor.
• Boyega is an orphan.
• Boyega, Daisy, and Adam Driver are all weak in terms of the Force throughout the film.
• Luke has trained seven Jedi since Endor, two of whom surface in the third act. It is unknown whether Lupita Nyong’o’s character is included in this distinction.
• In terms of character nature, Luke is like Yoda’s successor.
• No mention is made of Luke having a child.
• Palpatine is referenced a couple of times, particularly regarding his role and the decisions he made during Luke’s temptation and resistance in Return of the Jedi.
• Luke went into seclusion following an event post-Endor that has caused him to become hesitant when using his power to its full extent. He’s not really hiding, but rather hoping to keep attention off of his activities.
• People think Luke is a bit of a kook given his 20 year absence, but he is said to have a purpose and plan behind his decisions. He’s a bit of an urban legend by the time the film starts.
• Luke has come to the conclusion that the Jedi are not meant to be an open, quasi-police force like they were in the prequels. He has a close connection to the living Force, and he believes balance must be maintained through a lack of interference in the mundane conflicts of the galaxy. Luke’s contention is that the Jedi, while still needing to promote peace, order, and harmony, cannot actively become servants for any government – including the Republic. Past events and the demise of the old order are said to have taught him that.
• He is also said to be in contact with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in addition to Yoda.
• Luke does not die, turn evil, or go crazy.
• Daisy Ridley’s character, "Kira", has been raised incognito to both keep her safe from Inquisitors and from traitors within the Republic.
• Kira's ball droid is not related to R2D2, and its existence was apparently requisitioned by Disney.
• She inherits Luke’s original blue lightsaber in the first act of the film.
• Luke’s lightsaber is said to be one of the things that sets the entire film into motion.

Han, Leia, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson

• Leia has been the Republic leader for some 30 years.
• Han and Leia are married.
• Han does not die in the film. With that being said, his death is apparently being planned for Episode VIII. I would remind you all, however, that his death was also planned for Episode VI.
• The Falcon has been retrofitted by Solo and it is implied that he has had a couple of adventures these past 30 odd years, with and without Leia.
• The X-Wings in the trailer are on Yavin.
• There are Blue, Red, and Gold fighter squadrons in the film.
• Oscar Isaac’s character, "Darklighter", is stationed on Yavin. He is the leader of Blue Squadron.
• Han calls Isaac’s character “kid”, much to his annoyance.
• Domhnall Gleeson’s character is an Imperial officer who defects to the Republic. He is described as a “wingman” that joins the core cadre of good guys.

Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Max Von Sydow, and Boba Fett

• Adam Driver’s character is the leader of Red Squadron. He is a hot shot fighter axe with dreams of grandeur, and has an ominous fascination with power and the Sith. He collects items relating to their order and has a close relationship with a past character who may or may not have fallen to the Dark Side.
• The hilt on the lightsaber he builds (the one from the trailer) is said to not function as a crossguard.
• Driver is largely untrained in the Force as of Episode VII.
• Andy Serkis’ species is one we have never seen before.
• Serkis’ machinations and outlook are very different from Palpatine’s. He believes the Rule of Two is a foolish edict and considers Palpatine as having made a couple of mistakes.
• We will learn who trained Serkis in the third act.
• Serkis is described as “legit”, and a “worthy foe to [Luke]”.
• Max Von Sydow’s character is not Boba Fett, Darth Maul, or Mace Windu.
• While Sydow’s identity is a surprise, it’s not necessarily earth-shattering. It’s the sort of thing that hardcore fans would be excited about, but overly casual fans likely won’t realize the significance of. Sydow’s identity does have meaning, but you need to know the context.
• Boba Fett does appear, albeit very briefly.

The Expanded Universe

• While the EU is disregarded whenever it interferes with the story trying to be told, apparently a few elements from the Del Rey / Bantam books have become legitimate. For example, Boba Fett’s short story inTales from Jabba’s Palace is assumed to be how he escaped.
• No EU characters are used.
• Darth Revan is not in the film, and the mask that Adam Driver’s character wears did not belong to him.

Planets

• The Scandanavian esque planet is called Sullarn (as of the film's second draft), and it exists mostly in the film’s third act.
• The planets visited in the film are Tatooine, Yavin, Coruscant, Sullarn, and a final fifth planet from the third act.
• Tatooine is only seen in the first act (the Cantina and Garindan make appearances) and Coruscant is seen very briefly. Two parallel storylines converge on Sullarn, where the film’s climax takes place.
• Sullarn is said to be like Taiga at its best, and the arctic at its worst.

General Information

• There are many visual throwbacks to the prequel trilogy. A lot of conventional props, masks, and prosthetics will be used.
• There is no kissing in the movie, no blood, no Benedict Cumberbatch, no Watto, and no black antagonists.
• “I am your father” esque twists are trying to be saved/concocted for Episode VIII.
• Rebels will have connections to Episode VII, particularly regarding the Inquisitors. Disney has dictated the deep and thorough implementation of the Inquisitors into the Rebels storyline.
• Disney has apparently interfered in several matters regarding the film. That, coupled with "oversights", is causing Abrams great stress; Spoiler Man describes him as looking "10 years older every time we see him" and having no love lost for Disney at this point.
• There are three lightsaber battles in the film. Two of the three illustrate the vast skill gap between the combatants, and the third is “magnificent”, “heavy hitting”, and “original-trilogy styled”.
• The Empire is said to become more of a secondary foe as the new trilogy progresses.
• The film is apparently on par (quality wise) with Episode IV. "I'd say its as good as A New Hope", Spoiler Man says when asked which film it measures up to.
• Spoiler Man claims to have seen the script and some raw footage/dailies. He has great respect for Kasdan.
• He contends that everything he says will be “95% correct”, but also that Disney and Lucasfilm are actively leaking fake information to spin things different ways and throw people off. In February, the influx of information both true and false will result in apparent contradictions.
• Ali Arikan is said to be one of the mouthpieces for the fake spins.
• Spoiler Man’s last message is that we “don’t fall to the spin machine”.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens plot 'leak' hints at darkest movie yet

nfo dump on 4chan from alleged Lucasfilm employee puts new film on a par with 1977’s Star Wars and claims JJ Abrams is locked in battle with Disney over key issues

WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be the darkest film yet seen in the long-running space saga, according to an alleged leak of key information from a user claiming to be a Lucasfilm employee on the 4chan message board.

JJ Abrams’s film reportedly takes place against the backdrop of a 40-year war of attrition between Imperial and Rebel forces, with the standoff compared to the second world war’s European theatre in 1944. A number of new characters have developed nascent Jedi powers, but without Luke Skywalker to train them they are unable to realise their full potential.

The new film is said to feature little of the comedy that lightened the original trilogy, though what comic relief there is comes from perennial droid sidekicks R2-D2 and C-3PO. Skywalker has withdrawn from the world through fear of being tracked down by the enemy, and has trained only a handful of Jedi padawan. John Boyega plays a “force-sensitive” stormtrooper who defects from the Empire and ends up stranded on Tatooine, where he is hunted as a deserter.

Chan user Spoiler Boy, who posted the original thread, described Lawrence Kasdan’s screenplay as “too good for Abrams”. He shot down rumours that Benedict Cumberbatch will play a role in the film but claimed Adam Driverwould play a masked Sith-like character with cyborg elements. It is apparently Driver who is seen in the trailer for The Force Awakens, carrying a sword-like lightsaber (which is different to the usual weapon because he constructed it himself without formal training).

The 3,000 words of information about the new film have so far been treated with caution by Star Wars experts, though the rumours do tally well with previous reports about the plot of the new film. Spoiler Boy described the new film as on a par with 1977’s Star Wars in terms of quality, but also suggested that Abrams is locked in a battle with studio Disney over key issues.

For more potential spoilers, including the identities of characters played by Daisy Ridley, Andy Serkis and Max von Sydow, visit the Reddit thread that first reposted Spoiler Boy’s offerings.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will see Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford returning to the classic roles of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo from the original Star Wars trilogy, with Oscar Isaac, Driver, Von Sydow, Boyega and Serkis joining the cast, along with British newcomers Ridley and Pip Andersen. Abrams’s film is due for release in December 2015

Star Wars: George Lucas admits his ideas for new films abandoned by Disney

tar Wars creator George Lucas has admitted his ideas for a new trilogy of films were ignored by studio Disney after he sold all rights to the long-running space opera saga in October 2012.
The film-maker told USA Today last week that he planned to shoot episode seven of the series – since retooled by JJ Abrams as Star Wars: The Force Awakens – and release it in May this year. He also provided treatments for three new films. But in a new interview with Cinema Blend Lucas revealed that none of his ideas made the final screenplay for Abrams’ debut turn in the director’s chair.
“The ones that I sold to Disney, they came up to the decision that they didn’t really want to do those,” said Lucas. “So they made up their own. So it’s not the ones that I originally wrote [on screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens].”

Lucas’s revelation undercuts suggestions by his son Jett in 2013 that the film-maker was “constantly talking” to Abrams and had set out “guidelines” for the new movie.

Disney plans to release a new trilogy of Star Wars films between now and 2019, with beloved characters such as Yoda, Han Solo and Boba Fett also tipped to receive their own standalone spin-off movies. The studio’s move to install JJ Abrams and reportedly eschew the CGI-heavy mode of Lucas’s oft-derided prequel films in favour of a return to the style of the original trilogy that hit cinemas between 1977 and 1983 has so far proven popular with fans. The Force Awakens, which is released in December, is according to researchers currently 2015’s most highly-anticipated movie. It is also the bookmakers’ runaway favourite to be the year’s highest-grossing film.

In other Star Wars news, the BBC’s entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba has suggested that The Force Awakens could feature the space saga’s first ever female stormtrooper in the shape of 30-year-old British actor Amybeth Hargreaves.
