Straight up cold blooded murders him doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of redemption arc.

Whatever you think you're talking about, it can't be worse than what anakin did, and he got a redemption arc.

So as someone who has never really followed the lore of the Star Wars universe other than the movies, what's up with the flame throwers?

That's not really applicable, since the atrocities were shoe-horned in as prequels 20 years later. So his redemption arc already existed, before Lucas went full retard and added in all that nonsense, his redemption was simply coming back from the dark side and nuking the Emperor. He didn't need to redeem himself of slaughtering "younglings" (lol), and whatever else, because that shit didn't exist at the time.

Far be it from me to stand in the way of a fan doing mental gymnastics to make a story more enjoyable. Just as long as you realize that no matter how far you stick your fingers in your ears, and no matter how loud and long you holler "LALALALALALALALA", the precedent is still there. In the Star Wars universe, anyone can be redeemed after anything (if Luke wants to redeem you).

So the year old spoilers are basically all correct. Should be a hell of a trilogy.

Perhaps Abrams was savvy enough to "leak" spoilers that would confirm multiple things revealed in trailers and other promotional materials but core moments in the film would be different than what was described in leaks (but not revealed in trailers or promotional material).

He kinda did that with Star Trek he said that the movie was not going to be a remake of Wrath of Khan and gave Benedict Cumberpatch a fake name and a fake plot and went on interviews talking about it and all of it was false.

I wouldn't put it past him to do that again

I almost wonder if some one else is wearing Finn/Han's jacket in that crying scene with Rey. It's winter, maybe one of them loaned their jacket to some one else.

There's always been "Full retard" in Star Wars. The most massively armored troops can't stop a blaster while Leia has np. When fighting a Jedi/Sith always use a single-shot kinetic weapon or something easily blocked, never use flamethrowers, explosives, or shotguns. Etc..etc..

Instead of taking a Fantasy in a sci-fi setting and trying to turn it into a purist Science Fiction magnus opus with mtDNA and other bullshit I get the feeling Abrams is just going to give us a nice dark Greek Myth.

Because troopers are less likely to miss, as they are likely to do with a blaster.

I was talking to a friend, and I am not sure if this has been brought up in the thread...but could it be possible that we haven't seen Luke in the trailer, or poster because he's dead already...and he's only gonna be seen as a force ghost?

So showing him would be a spoiler of sort.
