I'm being a nerd, but all Star destroyers even the smaller Victory class had bridges like that. if that is the same ship we see a shuttle departing from in the original trailer it looks a lot like an Imperial-II class.

I just skimmed it, mostly looking at pics more than the text, but seems pretty realistic, especially how the first third of the movie should play out. Was that sort of the jist of the leaked script too?

ipic theaters with the reclining chairs that also have bar service had a few seats reserved for "members" its around $20 a year and you acquire points for purchases that equal discounts etc. several of their showings are still open if people have one nearby for the 17th and 18th. I bought tickets there for an almost empty theater 1100 on the 17th.

Haha I was genuinely wondering about this earlier. I'm sure there are some super hardcore Star Wars fans in America that are going to fly to Europe. I am a huge Star Wars fan and have been to half a dozen Star Wars conventions, 4 Celebrations etc. but am older now and I almost considered going the next day, but I couldn't deal with the thought of other people in the world knowing what happens while I don't. I don't even want the guy across from me in the tube to be thinking about the film he just saw last night that I am on the way to. There will be spoilers all over the internet before Americans can even see the film. I'd hate knowing that. Luckily I live in London. I think it sucks that we can't have a universal release date, but what are you gonna do? They need those epic midnight releases.

Anyone serious about seeing this film properly doesn't belong on the internet during those sensitive 8 hours imo. If I was in America I would hide in a sound proof room from midnight Europe release to omw to the theater in America release.

Yeah I got to like slide 15 and said "fuck this" because it was sounding way too plausible. Avoid that thing unless you're a hard core spoiler sadist.
I think the Black kids lightsaber is going to be the main macguffin of the movie. I"m pretty sure he is going to stumble upon it by accident then the whole Empire is going to be after him causing him to be thrust into some sort of adventure with the girl eventually causing them to meet the old cast members. One of the old cast members has to die and one of the two new cast members will probably become a jedi.
If it's Lukes original Lightsaber the one he lost when he got dehanded then lore wise that's Darth Vader's lightsaber and everything we know about the Kylo guy is that he is a Vader fanboy so it kind makes sense that he would want it.

Correct, the bridge of a Star Destroyer and a Super Star Destroyer look very similar so you'd be hard pressed to guess which ship they're inside of in that scene.
The Star Destroyers in the new movie have a different design, reminiscent of the Sith Cruisers of the Old Republic, hinting perhaps that the First Order is more turned towards a religious or cultist aspect than the Empire. It's my belief that as much as the Empire and various Imperial designs were based heavily on WW2 Nazi designs (officer suits for instance), the First Order in the new trilogy is based on the much more hardcore-believers SS (extreme even by Nazi standards), and the suits also reflect that. So, their First Order being much more into the occult is likely, since the SS were led by Himler who was a nut about everything occult (rituals in castles and shit, it's crazy).
Supposedly, there were twelve executor-class Star Destroyers in the Imperial Navy, the only one seen in the movies was the Executor, and only one other is official as of now, the Ravager (mentionned in the canon book, "Lost Stars", awesome read by the way). Fun fact, it's also the name of Darth Nihilus's personnal flagship in KOTOR 2 but I'm sure that's a coincidence, it's just a badass name.
This may or may not be the overturned Ravager seen on Jakku, since there WAS a "Battle of Jakku" before TFA happens, and after the ending of the canon "Lost Stars" book. The end of Lost Stars (not really a spoiler) features the crash of the Star Destroyer seen in the trailer on Jakku (The Inflictor), so it's definitely all canon and official.
What has me curious about that scene above though, is what they're all looking at. The red flash looks like it's not coming from a star, so I wonder if perhaps they're looking at a shot from the Starkiller Base superweapon.
EDIT : haha I was replying to a past from the previous pag and by the time I was done writing, there was like ten posts before mine.

Seriously people, when you play those quotes from the original movies, it makes the Prequels look stupid. And they are stupid, so just pretend they never happened! In the context of the original Star Wars the whole galaxy wasn't being run by Jedi. They were already supposed to be in decline with a small temple and counsel existing only in the heart of the republic. In the outer rim they would have seemed like legend. Galaxies are quite large you know.
