Based on the "official" preview and promotional material available, it's actually hard to parse spoilers from non-spoilers.  For instance the press release surrounding the teaser trailer gave all kinds of factoids that were not actually established by the trailer--such as planet names, character names and some character background--and in one case actually spoiled a surprise that I think the teaser tried to set up (regarding the desert setting--I'll leave it at that). 

I have a feeling that closer to the release date, both trailers and press releases will become increasingly "spoil-y."  It's easy for me to avoid the "official" spoilers (since I don't have cable or an antenna on my dedicated blu-ray display device) but I'm wary of forum users considering such unbagged cats as "not a spoiler because it was in a released trailer."

So maybe it is best that all the news goes to the spoiler thread rather than this one.
