I know it’s difficult to separate two films plot joined at the hip, but for the benefit of others trying to remain spoiler free, keep Episode VIII speculations and rumors in their own thread whenever possible.

I will comply with this, but I do not understand the reasoning behind this. Speculating on what will happen in EP VIII and IX, based solely on what one saw in EP VII does not seem like a spoiler for the future movies to me. Also if one wants to speculate on what in going to happen in future movies based on what happened in this one, one will forced to post in the spoiler thread for ep VIII and might risk seeing actual spoilers. I of course understand keeping EP VIII rumors out of this thread, but keeping out speculation based solely on this movie, I don’t get. That is like if this were an a spoiler thread for ESB, keeping out someone speculating that the other Yoda spoke off in the movie was Han. Let me put it this way, if I had said to you back 1977 after seeing Star Wars for the first time that I thought Vader was Luke’s father, and my thinking was based solely on what I had seen on the screen while watching ANH, would that really have spoiled for you the big reveal in ESB? IMHO, no. That said, will comply with the order.
