Having just been to the midnight premier let me say this;

JJ Abrams you glorious man.

Thanks for sharing, I am now less nervous about going to see it tomorrow evening!

I just caught the film. I really enjoyed. Not completely unreservedly, but it was very good.

I don't want to give any spoilers.

That about sums it up for me too. My girlfriend enjoyed it very much, and that says a lot about how good it is as she doesn't really like the original films. I'd like to see it again.

What do we think is a safe date to begin discussing it without fear of spoilers?!

[Skrall]

I think we lift the embargo after new year...

[Skringly]

After the new year is probably good. I'm hoping to see it this week.

In the mean time you can technically make use of the spoiler tags with a warning.

Spoiler!

Like this.

^ not a real spoiler.

Forgot about this thread.

New Trailer for Star Wars Rebels. And it has a new cool character. Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Series co-creator Dave Filoni had this to say on the subject.

Thrawn was always on the list, and we were just trying to figure out what’s the right moment and how big a deal do we make out of that. The biggest thing is that, you get a character that everybody likes, that’s a really great villain, you are cautious on a weekly series to put them into a, “Oh, we’ve lost again. Darn those crazy rebel dogs.” You can’t play him that way, he’s way too smart. It’s a very similar problem I had with Vader, which was, if our guys are around Vader too much, Vader’s going to pick them out. I had to supply them with something to neutralize Darth Vader. Here, I don’t really have a lot to supply to defend them against Thrawn, so it’s going to get sticky because we want to treat him as a big-time villain.
