If you don't want to know, don't open the tags

Probably the biggest spoilers yet, from the soundtrack. This was briefly up on Amazon in a couple of countries and taken down immediately


    • Main Title and the Attack on the Jakku Village
      • The title crawl covers a bulk of the exposition. Poe meets Tekka on Jakku, who reveals that he has purchased the Millennium Falcon for the purposes of finding its old pilot. Tekka gives him the lightsaber, and BB-8 takes the lightsaber and scurries off. The village is destroyed by Phasma and Kylo, Poe is apprehended for questioning, and Finn starts questioning the First Order himself.
    • The Scavenger
      • The story cuts to Rey's scavenging exploits on the following day. We basically see how lonely her life is and so on. There's probably a little action scene here where we find out that Rey is a girl after she's been covered up in desert wear.
    • I Can Fly Anything
      • Kylo's shuttle reaches the Star Destroyer, where he interrogates Poe, and later communes with Snoke (along with possibly Hux and Captain Phasma). Finn witnesses this and defects, staging a breakout with Poe using a special TIE fighter to save the both of them. Hux orders the Star Destroyer to fire upon the TIE, causing it to crash-land. Poe and Finn are separated as the latter ditches his Stormtrooper armor.
    • Rey Meets BB-8
      • BB-8 meets Rey, and they go on to a marketplace to meet Unkar Plutt. She witnesses a ship leaving the planet at this point.
    • Follow Me
      • Finn meets Rey and BB-8, and for whatever reason they all team up. Phasma orders the TIE squadron to apprehend or kill the deserter, leading to an assault on the marketplace.
    • Rey’s Theme
      • Rey takes control of the Millennium Falcon - originally intended for Poe to pilot - while Finn activates the guns of the ship. They fly through the ship graveyard to evade the TIEs and hit lightspeed. Afterward, Rey and Finn properly introduce themselves to one another.
    • The Falcon
      • The crew find the Millennium Falcon set on autopilot to specific co-ordinates installed by Tekka, leading to a freighter. Han and Chewie are glad to be reunited with their ship, but they are not so happy to find Poe and Rey. BB-8 transmits data to Poe and the Resistance.
    • That Girl with the Staff
      • The story cuts between the Resistance and the First Order. Poe somehow leaves Jakku and contacts Leia (who is on Hosnian Prime) about the people who ended up taking BB-8 and sets co-ordinates to find them. Phasma learns of Rey's presence and calls upon a spy network to deal with her. Kylo discusses pressing matters with Snoke.
    • The Rathtars
      • The shenanigans on the freighter occur. Chewie is slightly wounded on his arm, but he manages to blow something up long enough to cover their escape. Han, Chewie, Finn, Rey, and BB-8 bond over the experience. The title refers to the alien cargo that Han and Chewie were shipping.
    • Finn’s Confession
      • Finn reveals his checkered past. When Rey asks Han about the past, he reveals that he's had his own demons to contend with. BB-8 reveals that he has the lightsaber to Han, and he helps Finn and Rey learn about the Force. They then set coordinates to Takodana so Han can reunite with Maz, who knows more about the object.
    • Maz’s Counsel
      • Han gives Rey a blaster as the team goes to Maz's castle. When Rey gets bullied by a local alien, Chewie pulls his arm out of his socket. Having attracted enough attention to themselves, Maz calls Han by name and they discuss pressing matters. The flashback ensues when Maz utilizes psychometry on the lightsaber. Rey learns that she is Force-sensitive, and while Maz tries to convince Rey to learn the ways of the Jedi, she is distraught, so she leaves the castle to get some fresh air and reflect. BB-8 keeps an eye on her, though Finn keeps the lightsaber.
    • The Starkiller
      • Things cut back to the First Order. Hux tests Starkiller Base's weapon successfully on an unpopulated area to avoid drawing the attention of the New Republic or the Resistance. Kylo observes the weapons test from his Star Destroyer declares that he will resolve some unfinished business. A First Order spy in Maz's place has sold her out and the First Order is at their doorstep.
    • Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle
      • Rey discovers, to her horror, that the First Order has arrived, and the assault on the castle begins. Finn finds that using a lightsaber is second nature to him as he makes good use of Anakin's old weapon, and Han, Chewie, and Maz (along with others) do their best to repel the First Order. However, they are overwhelmed when Phasma and Kylo approach and make short work of their enemies. Phasma's forces surround the survivors and they are rounded up to be arrested.
    • The Abduction
      • Rey fights off a few Stormtroopers on her own, but she finds herself unable to do anything against Kylo. Kylo kidnaps her once she is at his mercy, and takes her aboard his shuttle along with BB-8. Luckily for Han, Chewie, Finn, and Maz, the cavalry arrives when Poe and a squad of X-wings demolish the First Order forces on Takodana, though Phasma and Kylo escape.
    • Han and Leia
      • The Resistance leads the stragglers back to a hidden base on D'Qar, although this also alerts the First Order to their presence. Upon landing, Han and Leia embrace and Finn is bewildered to learn of Poe's survival. Maz hands Leia the lightsaber and gives her an update on the current situation. C-3PO is also present. Leia uses the lightsaber to contact Luke by means of her own Force abilities, and she tells him to contact Rey.
    • March of the Resistance
      • The Resistance forces begin to plan and mobilize for battle as plans are laid out for the beginning of a new war. Finn, Han, and Chewie are given a short amount of time to enact a rescue mission to save Rey before the assault begins. Han and Leia have a meaningful discussion before the mission is enacted.
    • Snoke
      • The Supreme Leader of the First Order addresses his army stationed on Starkiller Base, which is fired once again. Kylo Ren tries to tempt Rey with the Dark Side, but he fails. Luke uses telepathy to speak with Rey while she is confinement, leading her to reach out with the Force and begin her escape.
    • On the Inside
      • The Millennium Falcon crash-lands on Starkiller Base. Finn, Han, and Chewie have about half a day to rescue Rey. While they carry out the rescue operation, Rey organizes her own escape and reclaims BB-8. Unbeknownst to them all, Kylo knows about the Millennium Falcon's landing and he visits its interior personally, taking his mask off.
    • Torn Apart
      • Everyone is reunited, but they all run into Kylo, who blocks their escape. Han confronts Kylo about what happened between his son, Leia, and Snoke, and while Kylo expresses some regret, he attacks Han in a fit of rage. Han manages to hold off Kylo long enough for the others to escape to the Millennium Falcon. The others prepare the ship, but they aren't able to get it ready in time for Kylo to arrive.
    • The Ways of the Force
      • Kylo, full of anger, attacks. Finn takes up the lightsaber and attempts to hold him off, but he is wounded in the battle. Rey then takes up his weapon and fights Kylo, but she is similarly defeated by him. Kylo approaches them both as she tries to keep Finn safe, but Luke, enraged at what Kylo has done to Han, unleashes the Force upon him from a faraway planet, repelling him from the battlefield. The Millennium Falcon makes its escape and reunites with the Resistance shortly before the assault begins.
    • Scherzo for X-Wings
      • The Battle Of Starkiller Base. Much of the Resistance forces are defeated in the battle, but Starkiller Base is obliterated and the New Republic is made aware of its presence, meaning that the government will no longer be able to stand idly by as the First Order continues its assault. While the Resistance is in tatters, the survivors will soon be supported by the New Republic's forces, which will lead the battle against the First Order.
    • Farewell and the Trip
      • The Resistance makes plans to abandon the base on D'Qar. Luke has sent R2-D2 to the base in order to reveal his presence on Devaron, but he requests that Rey travels there in order to keep the attention of the First Order away. Maz agrees to train Finn in order to rebuild the Jedi Order in earnest. Chewie and R2-D2 accompany Rey to Devaron, but not before giving a fond farewell to Rey's newfound allies.
    • The Jedi Steps and Finale
      • Rey lands on Devaron, meeting with Luke Skywalker in person as they begin her Jedi training in earnest. Credits roll.
- So Rey doesn't save Finn, Luke saves them all
- Luke talking to Rey like Obi Wan to Luke.
- Leia using the force
- Finn gonna be a Jedi

The tracklist is real, as is *most* of the plot outline.

But the shyt about Luke showing up during the fight with Ren? Absolute bullshyt. Or, at the very least, there is no evidence of that happening.

It *is* possible that there is more than meets the eye. We don't know ANY of the dialogue outside of the trailers (And maybe some of those talking toys they put out). And the shotlist is obviously intentionally leaving things out as well. I mean, sure, it's possible that Maz tells Finn she will train him, but it's impossible for us to know this with the information we have. The shotlist never emphasizes that Finn is *special*, aka Force Sensitive. It does this with Maz, Ren, and Rey.

I *do* think that Luke is going to talk to someone like that. Why? Just pure guesswork. This film is clearly mirroring a lot of the OT, so a "Rey, use the Force" moment might make sense.

Where did you find this write-up? I'm not seeing it anywhere else.

Look, FWIW, I hope you're right. This would be a very pleasant surprise for me. But that sounds more like one of those bs online-troll attempts, mix things we know are true, try and fill in some of the blanks we are unsure of with made-up nonsense.

Embargo ends on the 16th. I'm expecting pretty much everything to come out on the 14th/15th though.

Edit : We've also gotta remember that a single line can change everything. "No, I Am Your Father" wasn't in any Empire scripts.

Well I haven't seen anything saying Poe and Rey have some kind of spark though really . Maybe the chemistry of Rey and John will put them together . But anyway Idc if he's with her , he may get with another woman (white if it makes you happy )

Rey and Poe barely have any screentime together in this.

Finn and Rey have a couple of moments that *might* play towards romance/flirtation. The scene in the bar is one of them.

We also don't know what her goodbye to him is gonna be like.

Having said that, I'm not expecting him to be her LI either at this point. Seems like they are being played as chummy. He's friendzoned (He *is* a jobber afterall....:lolbron:)

FWIW, I read that the chemistry reads between Boyega and Ridley were based off of Hunger Games dialogue...Peeta and Katniss. That could mean anything, could mean nothing.

Honestly, I'm kinda expecting Rey to be like Luke in this trilogy...probably not much in the ways of a love-life. And because it's likely that they are going to use at least SOME of these cast members for future installments, it probably would be wise not to pair her up with anyone. That means that, in say, 10-15-20 years or whatever, if they ever need a Rey descendant, they can cast more openly.

This was all over the sites like Rebelscum, theforce.net and The Cantina. They were going wild about it. Apparently the soundtrack was up on Amazon last night(US time) in a few countries, and Disney got it down in a hurry, just like with the Rey figure. This writeup was verbatim from what was up on Amazon. So this is newer than the MSW stuff.

This could all be wrong, and bait could be put out there. MSW could be totally right or could totally be bait. Lots of that discussion going on right now. Fun to speculate. I'm sure we'll know if we want to early in the week.

Damn, I honestly didn't catch it. No offense, but can you link?(Edit : I'm not talking about the tracklist, I saw that before, I'm talking about the descriptions).

Hope is not lost today...it is found....:ohhh:

Edit 2 : Just found it : SPOILER - TFA Soundtrack Listing

Yeah...that guy is posting his own analysis.

Hope lost again....:dead:
