The trailers and other stuff they've officially released like art or that magazine. Everything from the trailers matches up with stuff they've spoiled. And before you say it, yes, most of these leaks came out before trailer 2 and well before the ComicCon footage.

So yes, there is plenty to check it with.

It tells us very little about plot lines, identity of the main characters or their relations. We'll just have to wait and see...

That black guy in the stormtrooper suit really ruined the trailer/teaser for me. Goofy face, scared shitless... he is gonna be Disney's Jar Jar, I guess.

Heard something about the new sith lightsaber being explained?

I am face palming as hard as I can right now. If you don't like him, you might as well not watch the movie since he's a main character.

yeah it fits neatly into some custom sith lock which will please many RPG game fans but im still not sold on the practicality of fighting with mutually lethal crossguards.

That's what I was afraid of. Only one of the main characters, I hope then.

Not really baiting, his parts in the trailer just didn't appeal to me. Will wait for the final product.

Yeah, it does seem impractical.

Using Inquisitor's lightstaff from SW Rebels would've been better. Or *gasps* just a standard lightsaber would do, tbh.

The Inquisitor's saber is a wretched design, tbh. I much prefer Kylo's cross-saber.

I hope Leia's a Jedi, though. Luke said she'd learn to use the Force as he did (which presumably means he'd train her to be a Jedi, right?) and apparently

Spoiler:
there's some Jedi during TFA, and I doubt Luke trained them all.

Finn (black guy), Rey (girl), Poe (X-Wing pilot) are the 3 new main characters. They will share the spotlight in TFA, but I think they will take over more for 8 and might be the only leads by 9.

Ok, so, a couple of interesting character point spoilers about Kylo Ren that have come out lately- first one backs up what NLW posted above. This is not speculation- it's come straight from JJ Abrams.

Spoiler:
1. 'Ren' is a title, not a name- like Darth, but a suffix rather than prefix. Kylo is an (ex?) member of the Knights of Ren.

2. Specifically, Kylo is NOT a Sith. Supreme Leader Snoke, whom he works for, is a powerful figure in the Dark Side- whether he has a Sith link or not is unknown.

Much speculation about whether Luke founded the

Spoiler:
Knights of Ren
but it all went wrong. Not sure why Luke wouldn't just go for Jedi myself, but until we get a better grip on Abrams' creative ideas, it's hard to read!

Trying not to get spoiled for this.... eek!

I heard from someone who claims to have seen the movie (most likely BS) that

Spoiler:
The Knights of Ren may be the oldest of Force users. After Ren himself died his followers split into 3 factions: Jedi, Sith and the remaining Knights that essentially went into hiding while waiting for the prophesied new leader Darth Vader (immaculate conception, balance, etc), but they were too late in awakening or something. So by the time this movie comes along they are after his blood: Kylo Ren, the child of Han and Leia or Rey, the daughter of Luke and an unnamed mother.

All speculative, but it's a very interesting concept.
