#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It's not different and it doesn't spoil anything. I just like mystery and to be surprised.I know, it's an archaic concept to you internet harvesters, but hey.THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It seems like there needs to be two threads, one for spoilers (anything unofficial and rumors) and one for non-spoilers (only official pictures, videos and talk allowed).

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 A thread for people who readily like to be spoiled is pretty depressing but I suppose that's the way people are these days. It's all instant gratification, entitlement and then very vocal disappointment. Which I translate in moronic stupidity.

mstrox 6,651 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I don't see a big difference personally between putting stuff in spoiler tags vs. having separate threads, but if the four extra clicks it takes to spoiler mask something are straining somebody's carpal tunnel, maybe a separate thread is for the best.

Balahkay 627 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Research shows that, in general, people like to be spoiled and know what happens before it happens. Some people don't like the element of surprise. Personally, I don't mind leaked pictures because they generally don't reveal much about the plot. And, so far, Disney/Lucasfilm has already shown us what was leaked beforehand and has shown us more. What I really don't want to know right now is the specific story. But after seeing the teasers and other promotional material, you can figure out the general story line if you think about it. As far as the Luke picture, I doubt they are going to wait until the film to reveal him. I have a feeling they want to save Luke's official reveal for the upcoming trailer, which is why the leaked picture is getting removed everywhere. There is a lot of mystery surrounding Luke right now.I don't see a big difference personally between putting stuff in spoiler tags vs. having separate threads, but if the four extra clicks it takes to spoiler mask something are straining somebody's carpal tunnel, maybe a separate thread is for the best.I think it may just simplify things because people are posting spoilers here without realizing they need to tag them. The thread isn't labeled as a designated "non-spoiler" or "spoiler" thread. And those who don't want spoilers won't have to worry about inadvertently coming across a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread.

peter.anschutz 43 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 That leaked photo of Hamill/Luke is hardly a spoiler. In fact, it appears to be of a photo shoot, probably for some promotional material we'll see anyway (teaser poster?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 What is a spoiler is subjective. There are some people who are avoiding the teasers and the upcoming trailer because they feel it'll spoil the film for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah, it sucks. I haven't liked any of Struzan's modern art. I'm kinda like over his style, which has become very samey. If that's the poster, be it teaser or theatrical, holy shit. That should be nothing more than the cover of a comic adaptation, or a trading card. Her staff (or rifle, or whatever that is) and the two lightsabers lined up like that at a crooked angle is such fugly design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter.anschutz 43 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 That poster looks like it was created by someone who can't draw straight. Everything is tilting the same way except the Star Wars logo. I do like the visual division between "light" and "dark" though. Maybe it'd be better if the whole thing weren't leaning to one side?

peter.anschutz 43 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm not sure how obvious this is, but in that poster Finn appears to be using the lightsaber Luke lost with his hand in ESB (i.e. Anakin/Vader's original), which I think is also the same lightsaber handed to Leia(?) in the second trailer.I also see reported here that this poster was created solely for D23, and that Struzan will create another "primary" poster for the film (hopefully one with straight lines!).

crumbs 14,319 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A slightly oddly arranged, hand-drawn, illustrated, composed poster is still a thousand leagues beyond what passes for "movie posters" nowadays.

A24 4,345 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have no complaints with movie posters today. Heck, most movies today have a multitude of different designs.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Is this the main one or is it a teaser poster? Usually the main poster has the credits at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
