All fair points, though in retrospect the episode 1 trailers anticipate the flaws.

This was where this was meant to go

Han already had his mind changed about the force by the end of a new hope.
He bids farewell to Luke with 'may the force be with you'.

Can't see why that's a reach for some people.

Apparently the seal isn't so tight on kids' stuff? A few pages of what appears to be a children's novelization has leaked, with a few tiny plot points mixed in.

This nonsense is making me want to go back to my 20 year old self who really didn't give any kinds of shits about "spoilers." I would read everything I could before going to a movie or a play. I'd read the fucking scripts when I could. Because if you do your fucking job correctly, I should still like and enjoy the experience of seeing what you did with the script. The wow or surprise or "spoiler" aspect shouldn't matter at all.

I used to not care either. However, this feels different for some reason. I dont want to go in and seeing how well they do in delivering what I know, or to see how "that plays out". I kind of want to go in as fresh as I can and just enjoy the ride for whatever it is.

That's actually a really great point. And echoes kinda what Lucas said in the interview I posted earlier.

Yeah but it does taint your view or ramp up or down your expectation of a thing.

Sure it does. When i realized not all girls were porn star and had sex like that, i was pretty disappointed. However, I carried on and i still thank the internet for all it has given me.

Car crash radio.

Dohmnaill Gleeson was involved in a car crash during a live interview today.
Good interview though.
