SW Rebels is pretty solid. I was pleasantly surprised.

at least 20 “Star Wars” books, ranging from adult and teen-centric novels to storybooks and stickerbooks for young kids, will be published later this year in order to connect Return of the Jedi and this December’s The Force Awakens.

Has this leaked yet?
Smith then discussed how the crew re-created that iconic ship.

“Right away Morgan pointed out, it was really cool, whenever they sit around the chess table, you see C-3PO sitting there, and there’s some rocky [stuff] going on they put on the seat belts in ‘Star Wars.’ It was one of those things that was a throwaway reference. I’ve seen them in the seat belt, not a big part of the mythology for me. But Morgan pointed out, if you look at the 1977 ‘Star Wars’ in order to make it futuristic, they took the seatbelt, and they just put bubble wrap on it. Just little bubble wrap and stuff that will make it look spacey. Cut to the present, and she’s like, 'Look at the seat belt,' and they put bubble wrap on it. Everything has been rebuilt to the specs in the '70s or the '80s because there are two blueprints of the Millennium Falcon (the ‘Star Wars’ movie version and the 'Empire' version). And I guess they used those to rebuild it. Even details like that, man, and, she said, ‘Touch it,’ so I touched it and popped a bubble. I had to. You know what I’m saying?”

You don't like plot. You don't like set decorations. You don't like JJ Abrams. I'm starting to think you don't even really like Oscar Isaac.

Slavishly recreating meaningless details from old movies = hollow nerdiness, not an indication of artistic vision

Not if it enhances the experience. If people get joy from those details it isn't meaningless or hallow at all.

But you're right that none of that is indicative of "artistic vision." But that's not the end all be all, either. Maybe artistic vision is hallow and meaningless. Maybe all that matters is one's emotional investment and level of enjoyment.

Without telling me the plot, because I am staying spoiler free, has the plot really leaked yet?

Yes. Who knows if it's real, but it does seem pretty legit.
