    Why are they handling the promotion of the movie like this? Seriously messed up

    My guess is some irrelevant prop. Like a hair wig, a boot, or maybe a piece of paper that says Star Wars Episode VII on the cover.

    The whole production of this movie has gotten so annoying.

    But looking on the bright side… one good thing is that this is the second Instagram pic in a very short amount of time. Maybe they are actually almost ready to release information.

    The script cover with the “Star Wars Episode VII – The [idunnowhat] of the [myabe Empire]” title…

    They just love winding us up! Probably just a new lightsaber design

    I bet he has 5 boxes with 5 different scripts. He’ll tell Lucas to pick a box and a script, then they will start recasting again.

      While I’d actually like that, do you know how much time it would take to write 4 erroneous scripts in full?

      The started with the original by Lucas, then Arndt , now the 3rd draft is done, it almost has been 4 or 5 full drafts.

    This is the very most that will happen between Thursday and May the 4th: at most, if we’re ever so lucky, another very minor update. No significant information, like the title of the new movie or any cast info.

    Disney has released, on their Episode VII news feed, an update (sometimes two in a row) every 3-4 months.

      Good observation. When Bob Iger said, “It’s very, very early” back in March, I don’t think he was lying. While I believe the film will make the December 18 release date, the production still has the luxury of time on its side. They actually don’t have to shoot until July or August 1st at the latest.

    (same anonymous as above) Hope against hope here: a new lightsaber design.

    “I wish I could show you what’s inside this box. Soon! ” Big Announcement….Soon. Every thing is soon. I bet this Disney Breakfast will be bogus, they will show a scene from Rebels.

    Do we know how big the box is? The dimensions?

    hmm like the guy who posted this said “maybe a wig” the girl who acted out Amy Pond from Doctor Who donated her hair they used in a marvel movie to make a wig now going to be used in this movie maybe just maybe that’s what’s in the box!

    My guess is it houses the Disney ball collection.

    Lucasfilm just said the breakfast is a fake rumor.

    R2D2 can fit in there

      but we already know R2 is in the movie… no secret there

    Well this time it isn’t an Abrams Mystery Box, it’s a Bad Robot Mystery Box. Still I doubt it means anything, and yes, the PR for EPVII has been handled atrociously. If it ends up backfiring, we’ll hear a lot of apologies, and that thought just makes me cringe.

      Unfortunately the PR’s gunna work, because we’re all suckers. I’m betting the entire ST is going to be handled this way.

    My guess is action figures of the returning cast members from OT

    I like how a good, solid rumor can get a response out of Lucasfilm.

    The new SW characters in miniature. Figures which will go on sale in shops soon.

    Could be a new helmet design. Stormtrooper or Mandalorian maybe?

    So many negative comments. Why do so many people feel they have the right to know exactly what is going on at every step of this movie?

      Wait, your first sentence is complaining about so many negative comments and your second is a negative comment!

    Assuming it is Threepio’s head, make sure it is the right way when it is put back on. He is always angry to be “backwards”.
