I think I read an announcement recently that they were dropping the "episode (numeral)" thing.

That is 100% exactly correct. It's been mentioned in official channels.

Oh, it so isn't. It's fantastic. The numerals appeared nowhere in the original trilogy marketing. It wasn't until the prequels that they became a thing.

Getting rid of them is actually a masterful part of the nostalgia of it all and kind of a finger to GL. Which, good for JJ.

I plan to watch this about 30 more times tonight. I'm staying spoiler free, aside from the official trailers.

JJ's track record with strong female leads is outstanding. We get a Kate Austen type as.... A JEDI?!

You kidding me? Get the F*CK outta here.
