I always wondered what became of Dale. I often forget that with the internet, I can find out.
So she did something useful with her life, too.

Showbiz sux, so good for her.

&^%$#@! innerwebs ate the whole post while I was waiting for the second gallery pic to load in another tab.  People need to get their &^%$#@! page-coding skills in order, because this crap borks up my entire machine for five-ten minutes at a stroke sometimes.  It's always the &^%$#@! ads doing it.  I need to find a good adblock.  Three &^%$#@! minute copy/paste job has taken 45 minutes so far.  $#@!

I have gotten an OBSCENE amount of work done on Uno's MoonO'Lantern while I waited for pages to load.  Pics to follow when I get the last caption, finally.

-About TWO HOURS in the end - never again, EW.

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens': 12 exclusive EW looks at the new galaxy



Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) strikes a pose with his homemade lightsaber. It turns out, his true identity has been masked from us in more ways than one



After a violent escape, John Boyega's Finn runs from the wreckage of a TIE fighter, afraid, desperate, but lucky to be alive.



Rey (Daisy Ridley) meets up with BB-8 while cutting him free from a fellow scavenger’s net. But what is that large creature — and who is riding atop it? (More on that later.)




Old friends, but in a new time and place. R2-D2 seems to have hardly changed, but C-3PO (played by Anthony Daniels) now sports an unexplained red arm.



Squad goals. Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and a team of merciless First Order stormtroopers lay waste to a Jaku village.



Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux, a cruel leader of The First Order who craves to show the galaxy his might. (This image was briefly shown at Comic-Con but never released in detail until now.)



Inside this shimmering armor is a warrior for The First Order, Captain Phasma (played by Gwendoline Christie of Game of Thrones). Her character's name has an unexpected origin...



Director J.J. Abrams relaxes on the set of The First Order's Starkiller Base with his co-writer Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back). Note the dark red script pages in Kasdan's hand, a security measure to prevent copying.



There's a reason the X-Wing fighter is black, but J.J. Abrams wants to keep that a mystery for now. Stealth tech? This is another previously seen shot from the Star Wars Celebration fan event in April.



Director J.J. Abrams and actress Daisy Ridley in a previously released behind-the-scenes shot. Abrams was recruited to join the film when Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy asked him a question about another young Star Wars desert-dweller...



"Chewie, we're home." Entertainment Weekly's Star Wars: The Force Awakens report will include the story of Harrison Ford's emotional first day on set.

Two hours and I can't pull any comments?   $#@!

Starkiller....my minds not here today, I know I've heard that before. 

X wings are a dumb idea, frankly.  Canonically they were old piles of crap in the original series, and by Jedi the Rebels were moving to B wings.  That they are still around in any numbers is just silly. 

General Hux looks like he's attempting to channel some of Major Toht's look.   

[Buster's Uncle]

Luke's original last name in the early drafts.

Public service announcement: Lazarus Form Recovery is a fantastic extension for chrome and firefox that saves your entries in web forms (like forums) as you type them so that if you accidentally press back or the connection dies or whatever you can just open the same page and do right click>recover form. It's saved me a lot of re-typing through the years.

People need to get their &^%$#@! page-coding skills in order, because this crap borks up my entire machine for five-ten minutes at a stroke sometimes.  It's always the &^%$#@! ads doing it.  I need to find a good adblock.  Three &^%$#@! minute copy/paste job has taken 45 minutes so far.  $#@!

Is this a problem with our forum or somewhere else? uBlock is the best adblocker for firefox or chrome that I know of.

I'm in IE, and I'm pretty sure my sluggish machine isn't helping, but I don't think it's AC2.  Spare me the browser snob speech, too; most people use IE, so I have to to see what they see here onsite.

[Unorthodox]

That official?  They need to leave the old man off. 

[Buster's Uncle]

It's totally alleged to be official by about a million entertainment and geek sources today.

Unless it's animation, I generally don't like to get glimpses behind the scenes, or unedited film.
'
Some films, Star Wars in particular, I go to see to shut out the outside world, and immerse myself. I don't want to  know where the second unit was before I see the credits. I don't want to be thinking "How did they do that?"  or "When do we see that setting or sequence I saw in the photos?" I want to be thinking about "How are the rebels going to get out of this jam?!"

So for those kind of reasons, I rarely open this thread. I do love the series.

I came to contribute a tidbit- At an exclusive event at Disney-

"Bob Iger stuns the WDS presentation crowd to announce 2 14 acre Star Wars lands for Hollywood Studios and Disneyland "

"Announced two headliner rides at new land. Including one where u fly the Millenium Falcon."

"Also all restaurants will b inhabited by SW universe characters!"
