I'm gonna watch RoS on the 21th, which is 3 days after the opening day here. I'm not sure how I'll avoid all the spoilers. Leaks are easy to avoid since few people read it, but once the movie is out, oh boy...
I'm doing ok avoiding leaks so far *touches wood*. Someone posted a leaked image in a forum I go to that I think might be real. Also, saw another big one on a youtube comment, but I'm pretty sure that person was just guessing. From next Monday, I'm goint to start blocking parts of Youtube and muting words on twitter.
Lucasfilm and or Bad robot should have stopped this shit from happening, though. It's not that some people have read them that's the issue, it's the small percentage of those people who want to ruin it for others.
EP8 never leaked like this at all. So that makes me think the leaks for 7 & 8 come from bad robot, but I have no idea on that.
The thing that got me most about the reactions, here and elsewhere, to that D&D appearance were the number of people shitting on them for saying something like, "GoT was our personal film school because we'd never had to work with people like costume designers before." Which, like, of fucking course. It was not new information that these guys had never been showrunners before, they'd only ever been writers so how could they have ever learned that stuff before actually getting a chance to do it, and yet it became another albatross to hang on them. To say nothing of the number of people who continue to insist, without evidence and contrary to the actual evidence that does exist, that they bailed on GoT early to do Star Wars, it's really crazy how fans of certain franchises even here turn borderline hysterical over nothing.I ignored the leaks thread as soon as I learnt how, but I feel like I know exactly what it looks like all the same. I basically picture this thread about Benioff & Weiss' first public appearance after the GoT ending:
One person posts a bunch of bullet points, either unflatteringly-worded to begin with or re-interpreted to match the OP's agenda, which then get taken at face value without question by an audience of posters who already want to hate it, until everyone's whipped themselves into a confirmation bias frenzy. And the only way they can talk about it is coming into every Star Wars thread for the next six months and hinting about how they've read the leaks and they're not going to say anything but the movie definitely sucks, what a piece of shit, Star Wars is ruined, etc.
You love to see it.
Yes I would like this on my wall now please.(Though prequel Obi-Wan on the original trilogy side is throwing me off.)
Speaking of comics and legends, it only blows my mind that Marvel didn't re-print some of the major comic stories.
I've wanted to read Dark Empire for forever but Marvel seems to not really give a fuck about it.
Can someone make a logo-less version of this? Pretty please? Ugh, this is too gorgeous.
Yeah. Wasn't there a thing about them withholding a lot of merch because of spoilers? I imagine it'd be even worse for the art book.
hmm. interesting, yet those books don't really have the same potential to spoil ending things. Like, concept art will be showing scenes and story boarding essentially. the visual dictionary will tell you what material the Knights of Ren's shoelaces are made of.Pablo's Visual Dictionary is still scheduled for the 20th as of now.
It's disappointing for sure, the art books are so great, but this way we get a complete product.yup. I bet they filmed the ending in secret very late in the process and all the shit floating around right now are just fake endings they filmed to throw off leakers.
shit's been a reality for the biggest movies/tv shows for a while now.
the unfortunate side effect is merch that wants to feature all that stuff (baby yoda, this art book) have to be delayed as a result. I don't really mind tbh.

I know! It's getting worse as it gets closer!
One of the best SW posters I've seen.
Chances are you already played half of it, then. It's a shorty.Uhhh I got it Thanksgiving weekend, played the first few story missions and then got sidetracked back into Monster Hunter and Pokemon again. I'll get back to it soon.
LET THE PAST DIE
I mean.. it's fan made, I'm not necessarily judging it by the facial structure of each character, but rather the placement and overall feel.Really? All the characters on that poster look off to me except R2 and BB-8 :/
nice bb8 droid.
Good lord this made me laugh hahaha!
I understand some of the complaints but god damn at the hyperbole surrounding his character.lol that Finn thread is 18 pages long.
How miserable do you have to be to continue talking about this same movie over and over for literally years now

You said "One of the best SW posters I've seen." so I thought we were talking about all posters, official and fan-made ^^ I get it now.I mean jesus. We're talking about EP9 fan posters, why are we comparing them to the best ever made? I meant, in the context of TROS, not literally the best ever.
lol that Finn thread is 18 pages long.
