The Force Awakens spoiler/speculation discussion thread
Opening this as a tentative thing to gauge approval first.
Seriously spoilery speculation/possible leaks are beginning to appear now. Just like the old days, a lot of this could be garbage or could be spot on.
There's a reddit thread that sums up a giant load of it. So, to check- shall we post up the link and discuss what's within?
Obviously, massive potential spoilers in this thread may be coming.
Alright I'll go ahead and post them up- read at your own risk. They are not complete spoilers or anything like that but it gives a lot of potential info. Judge for yourself the truth of it.

My guess would be- some genuine stuff that's getting increasingly mixed up with reported speculation and deliberate nonsense. Note how part 4 specifically denies part 3. I doubt anyone really has access to the JJ/GL relations and what they think, and all of that official-prequel-hate just seems too much like wish fulfilment for the sort of fan who would be on 4chan to seem real to me. Nonetheless, I reckon some of the basic character facts will pan out.
Some more rumoured spoilers here:

Hmmm sounds a bit too EU influenced (style-wise) to me- by which I mean the kind of people likely to speculate wildly or make stuff up are probably drawing from the EU.
Anonymously reported Han Solo line. Sounds plausible but easily made up

Hi Jason, big fan of the site. I did some extra work on TFA and had scenes with Ford, Ridley and Fisher. Nothing major with no lines but I’d like to share that time with you.
It took place at Pinewood, backlot and was a minimal blue screen affair. A few of us were extras standing in for pilots, some human, some alien. A few practical creatures were present and the scene was described as a hideout for pirates, criminals and empire hunters. It would appear in the second act. There were a variety of weaponry on show which all looked like stuff from the OT. I can remember a line that ford said
“I can get us in there but they won’t have a hug for me, sweetheart”.
It was a cool delivery by Ford. Overall, a good time.
Not a spoiler in of itself, but relevant- Mark Hamill on the security to avoid spoilers
"Oh, my God! It’s just crazy town. First of all, the security. We had problems before with people leaking stuff, but I was saying to them, “Is it really necessary to put on this giant robe with a hood that hangs down to your chest to go from my trailer to the soundstage?” They said, “Drones.” I said, “You’re kidding! Really?”… I wish people would just relax. We’re not trying to play games with people. We just want to maximize their experience at the movies where it should be seen and not have it leaked over the Internet. Believe me, it will be here before you know it."
