Some people might not see the movie for the first time until weeks later, painful as that sounds. They will simply have to tough it out.
Another TFA thread is only going to cause more clutter and confusion around here. Tweaking the title, as was done when the trailer dropped, should be enough.
Well, the thread is called “THE FORCE AWAKENS (EPISODE VII) DISCUSSION” so I’d be kinda weird if we couldn’t discuss The Force Awakens in the The Force Awakens discussion thread.
You could put some emphasis on it being a “spoiler thread” though, just in cast.
The only issue is that many of the non-spoiler thread people avoid everything. So if there are people that keep up with the news yet haven’t seen it, they have no specific thread. Or, they need to be extra cautious about what they read in this one, and what they post in the other one.
