I already read both those points months ago in a “leaked” script overview, that turned out to be surprisingly accurate.

I did read those things (aside from Ben). But I’m glad I avoided leaks that tried to storyboard the whole film and such.

I’m happy to have been somewhat familiar with the sets and scenery, to have it be familiar as I see it all actually executed so well. Perhaps leaks also tapered expectations a bit. I would have been disappointed in Snoke’s look if I hadn’t seen it a few days prior. Same with Luke’s absence.

Still, next time I’m going to go much lighter on the spoilers.
