It's an engine. Of some kind. Whatever.

Someone should make a list of PT elements that Lucas borrowed from the EU. The multi-coloured lightsabers already seems to have been in the EU first, and so does several aliens (Dexter from ATOC is apparently based of an alien from SW Droids) so it seems like it would be quite a long list.
The double-bladed lightsaber and Aayla Secura would definitely have to go on the list.
The name "Coruscant" rather famously

Star Wars: Uprising Announce Trailer
^ Trailer for game set between ROTJ and TFA. Probably raises as many questions as it answers about the field of play going into TFA.
This trailer shows the Death Star II blowing up with the ring from the Special Editions.
The SE is still the official canon and all those celebrations shown after the Empire was defeated at Endor that were inserted into RotJ somehow still aren't representative of what actually took place since we're getting sequels set 30+ years later.
One day of celebrations does not yield an entirely new government
That was really, really cool.
Is anyone else totally lost by what Ronster just said?

As far as the 'circular rims' of the turbines go, they *aren't* a perfect circle as you say...although I've seen some X-Wing images where they are wrongly shown to be. (I actually amended my last line in the post you quoted, to clarify that various 'google' images of them seem to vary)
But here's an image which gives a decent look at how the top and bottom halves of the 'circular rims' are intended to be slightly mismatched with each other - http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150309054138/starwars/images/b/b2/X-wing_2_Fathead.png
Are you sure that that's not just a trick of perspective combined with the shelf jutting out a little?
Great point about the slow zoom

Also please keep in mind that the name "Snoke" did not show up once in that summary based on the established rumours, which confirms my theory that they're taken from an earlier draft. To put that in perspective, if we were discussing rumours about the original Star Wars from an early draft leak we'd be talking about the "Legion of Lettow."
The character certainly appeared ("Uber"), but perhaps the name was never reported, as he's called "Supreme Overlord" throughout the script and "Snoke" is the sort of detail that gets mentioned in photo captions

Andy Serkis' role in TFA has now officially been confirmed. He will be playing a character named Supreme Leader Snoke (click image for larger view).
So I'm guessing then that this "Supreme" leader Snoke might be the guy addressing the First Order rally that we saw in the trailer.
But if he's a motion-capture character then it's safe to assume that he's some kind of alien. I find that a pretty fascinating departure from the Empire that we know from the OT. The Empire pretty much consisted entirely of white men, which fitted well with the allusions to Nazism, colonialism and fascism in general. However now we have a supreme leader that's a non-human and Captain Phasma, who's clearly a very important military figure, is a woman. This is a very big departure from what we know. So the First Order is clearly quite different from the Empire that we saw thirty years ago.
(Also is a fascist regime without any form of racial or gender discrimination a form of social commentary on anything? The Empire were like a mix of Nazis and the British empire, so what would the First Order be an allusion to?)
In the 4k version of that shot, it seemed fairly clear that the figure was a regular human, which makes the mo-cap character an unlikely candidate.
In that possible-plot slideshow that was linked earlier, it sure sounded like Snoke (whose name wasn't known at the time) was a shadowy figure. So many involved in The First Order may not even know who's running the show: snoke & mirrors

Kylo Ren is boring design wise. Another male villian. I wanted Ventress or anything different then what we've seen before.
I agree. Hopefully, Kylo won't be the only darksider to show up in this trilogy.
He apparently has a boss, about whom very little, if anything, is known.

...I can only assume the saber itself contains something important.
That's the rumor. Something is hidden inside.
There's also the rumor that the film will open with Luke's severed hand floating through space still clutching the saber handle. I'll walk out if that happens.pablumatic said:
...Here's to hoping its all false.
I'm with ya, but I've become a bit of a Thomas when it comes to Star Wars...
Thankfully I haven't heard the floating hand rumor for some time
6. You must believe that forum rules are really important and worth getting upset about.

I think the Artoo units in the Episode II Jedi fighters are supposed to be plugged into the ship all the time, and unable to run around because they don't have legs or a proper body. Not that it makes any more sense. ;)
That is correct, and sad.

You're a dirty Voyager fan aren't you
And at the top: "CAPTAIN PHASMA"
I dunno, he has that thing pointed at his chest.
Why not?

Could be worse...I guess?
4K monitors are becoming the standard thing to buy for gamers when going for a top-of-the-line gaming system. Pretty soon they'll be the standard for PC gaming.

Here is the video for the previous deleted scene:
=============================
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k6mjPIzy9DoxAmbaYeh
Since we are a team, we have people doing independent projects, and testing. And the one member was testing out some rendering and cleaning with other footage. The deleted scenes were a part of that.
Currently, it is not our focus, and we did not plan to do anything with the deleted scenes. It's up to that member to decide when, and if they will be used.
We are putting it up here to show the possibilities of what the clean up with software can do.
We're sure that if people wanted to use these scenes, they would have been working on them for the last few years that they were out.
This work was done in a few weeks.
Team Negative1
Honestly, most people have no idea how to do this.
