Making Star Wars posted a pretty cool article with some possible leaks for the Aftermath book. Sounds like there will be more PT involvement than we've been led to believe so far. I really like the blip about Mas Amedda becoming the default "leader" after Endor.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: J.J. Abrams explains what's in a name

I read this and was glad that the internet rumor about Edgar Allen Poe wasn't true...  (as in "The ReyFinn" by Edgar Allen Poe). :P

Also neat to get some more info on the little alien guy who has BB-8 in that net in the EW pics. :)

Poor 3PO. No one can ever find replacement parts that match the rest of his body. He always has to look like some beater car. How hard is it to find gold parts or at least a spray can?

You'd think one of the heroes of the Republic would get some decent parts.  I mean Artoo gets blasted by Vader during the Battle of Yavin and he's all pristine for the awards ceremony.  Who knows what's up with Threepio in the thirty years that he loses an arm and can't get the matching part.  You'd think the Solo/Organa/Skywalker clan would take better care of their family heirloom.

By the end of Episode IX he will be nothing but Bondo and Primer.
This is the way.

I think C-3PO's status as a walking pile of spare parts shows just how busted ass "The Resistance" is 30 years after the Battle of Endor. 

Call it a theory.

I guess parts for 3PO are an arm and a leg.

Pure speculation, but I think 3-PO's red arm signifies he is part of the First Order. The FO does a lot of red, especially red markings on the left side of things (the Special Forces TIE, Phasma's cloak) so I think this is in keeping with that. How/why/if he really is of course no idea, and the image of him yesterday with R2 has him among Resistance people, so who's to say. But it would be an interesting way of utilizing a character who has no function in the plot anymore. He could be a spy/plant.

My guess is 3PO made a deal with the Robot Devil, like Fry did. 

("The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" is still my favorite episode of Futurama. ;))

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Inside Harrison Ford's return as Han Solo

Quote
"The minute Harrison and Chewie walked on board the Millennium Falcon — that was incredible," she tells EW. “Every single person on the set was stunned. I remember turning around, and there must have been 200 people gathered behind me — completely quiet. I didn’t even know they were there. The whole crew had stopped working, staring at the monitor, because it was so iconic.”

I'm totally going to cry when I see this movie...   :'(

So, the Knights of Ren.... Someone really needs to parody that with Ren & Stimpy.

Unfortunately the Knights Who Say "Ni" was already taken.

Everyone's seen this by now, yeah?
