If there's a new Republic, how about it having the Old Republic's 8-spoked symbol instead of the Rebel starbird?

Are you ever going to make your own thread about what you want to see?

And make it that easy to avoid reading another rant about lightsaber color? You've got to sneak it into the middle of other comments to get people to read it!

As has been suggested, draw a picture? Even a crude sketch might give us an idea of what you saw.

 And by "crude," I do hope you mean to put some titties on there for those of us who need more than a stormtrooper helmet to get turned on?

So, Luke's hand (still clutching his dad's lightsaber) flies out of Cloud City and lands on Tattooine?  Riiiiggghhhttt.

If they're gonna make this stuff up, they should have said that Vader's lightsaber (or remnants of) somehow landed on the moon of Endor.  That's remotely possible, at least.

I think that instead the article is probably referring to Luke's second lightsaber, the one he built himself. Which would mean somebody severed his hand again.

If this rumor is anywhere near true, it means we'll likely see Luke outfitted with a far more rough-and-ready prosthesis later in the film--if the apparent Mad Max aesthetic of the new trilogy is anything to go by.

Of course, the OT Storyboards book revealed that the idea of Luke losing his mechanical right hand was already thought up back during ROTJ.

“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

"The weapon is much more powerful than the original's Death Star, capable of destroying entire solar systems!"

Yuck! I sure hope that's bullshit.

 Is the mouse droid a hint of the Empire being in Episode VII?

Well, yeah.  did you read the posts about Stormtroopers being confirmed as in the next film?

Speaking of the Empire, I don't want to see a New Republic when episode 7 begins. We already saw a Republic in the prequels (in other words, democracies make for bad movies) and episodes 7-9 should be about accomplishing new things, not about maintaining what was accomplished in the OT and in the 30 years in between ROTJ and episode 7.

A hand floating in space holding a lightsaber plummeting to a planet.  That's what we see after the title crawl?

No matter what you may think of the prequels, none of the rumors or even legit story points from those films were ever as bad as some hand falling in space after the title crawl.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yet that synopsis they have on badassdigest about the opening of the film.

The reason that nobody has mentioned it is because of how absurd it is.
