probably in the minority here, but I do not like Driver as Klyo Ren . he isn't intimidating at all. would have went someone like Garrett Hedlund. [Reply]

He's not really supposed to be. That's the point. He's kind of a fraud. [Reply]

ah good point . also sorry I spelled Kylo Ren wrong. I do like Driver as an actor though. I have high hopes for this film because Rian Johnson is directing and Del Toro is in it. Can't wait [Reply]
So... apparently, JJ wanted BB-8 to accompany Rey and Chewie in the Falcon on the way to meet Luke. But it was Rian Johnson who asked for changes in the script to make it R2 instead of BB-8.

Other people were asking for proof, and a mod on a forum for leaks was sent 2 screenshots, one of Rey and Finn reuniting at the Rebel Base, and another unconfirmed ending scene. The mod who apparently has a good reputation said they seemed legitimate and that Finn was wearing clothes never before seen in any trailer or publicly available picture.
The leaker spoiled the very beginning 2 minutes and the last 30 minutes (in a couple of sentences). Which I will not bring up. Now it's apparently been sold to someone for 6.5 bitcoins and the deal was that they had to prove that they were capable of stripping all watermarks and audio tracers from the copy and that it was not to be released publicly until at least Nov 10th (don't know why and don't know if that will happen).
That's all I have, believe it, don't believe it. It honestly makes no difference to me. It just makes me a little sad that it has gotten to this.
