Huh. Well, I guess, I disagree. I've never had to do any mental gymnastics to enjoy film/tv/fiction.

DFW wrote about this far more eloquently than I can, but in a nutshell: We have to do some ridiculous mental gymnastics to enjoy film/tv fiction.

Ok I'll say this quietly but you do know how YouTube works right?
And if I made a video 'leaking' the whole script for episode 8 I'd have 350,000 hits within an hour and that gets monetised and I make a bunch of money.
Don't listen to anything whatsoever on YouTube with regards Star Wars. Not a word.
Unless you like buying some obese 40 year old still lovin on his moms cellar a new flat screen.

Not even kidding. They're all making these videos. The reaction videos are just fun. And ignorable.
The theory / I HAVE THE NEW SCRIPT LEAK videos are forming a new mould. Fair enough if they're making money off it go for it But at the same time they devalue the whole thing by Doing by that.
Just listen to som of them. you can't identify a fat kid in his moms basement?

I can't wait till some news starts trickling out about this thing. I feel like there was far more going on with TFA. This one has been on lockdown it seems. Or maybe im just giddy and am not thinking straight.
This is going to be great
