The agenda there was incredibly transparent, and I'm not willing to consider John a liar after he's called her a 'new lead' etc. I take it that also means they were completely wrong about the fight between Rey and Kylo taking place in act three. That would have been a pointless rehash of TFA, there has to be some development.

@BastilaBey
It was only a matter of time. His/her reveals not only contradicted heavily with reliable sources, they claimed to have in-depth information about when certain things occur in the story, but were unable to produce a "spoiler" that wasn't taken from another website. I think it's pretty safe to say it was all something of a poorly executed hoax. I admit I was pretty excited for the "Finn/Rey is the canon romance" spoiler.

I really wonder what that guy was hoping to get out of all this. Was the purpose really just to instil doubt in other fans, because that's so random. Goes to show how threatened they really are though.

@Mrs Ben Solo

Actually some of it was indeed filmed, but than cut off in editing process.
Especially the part MSW reported about. (Korr Sella, Sledgehammer etc, the scene of Maz handing the saber to Leia was in the first teaser)

@ManaByte Yes,I know. This article was a mistake. The author didn't know and we have an automatic posting to Twitter. The article is removed

@vaderito

Debunked...unsurprisingly... (btw, "debunked" is now my favorite word)

It's kinda funny how that word always comes up for every Rey Skywalker and Finnrey theory.

@Mrs Ben Solo

There's actually a lot of basis in fact behind the "false" rumors from MSW. As @Darth_Awakened pointed out, many of these were filmed and then cut. Or in the case of "Rey getting into a bar fight but is saved by Chewie," I have to think that's probably the bit from the novelization where Unkar Plutt shows up at Maz's castle. And there IS a similar exchange where Han gives Rey a prized blaster while Chewie is shutting down the Falcon...

@ISeeAnIsland

Yeah, someone challenged the article writer about this on Twitter and he said he doesn't count things that weren't in the final cut of the movie.

@Mrs Ben Solo
I don't really agree with the writer personally. MSW's sources were obviously still feeding them legitimate spoilers (even if some of them didn't make the final cut). I don't think it's fair to place real leaked information that ended not being included in the film to complete narrative invention like "Rey gets drunk at Maz's bar." Also a few included were straight-up in the film and don't belong here at all, namely the one about the Madalorian symbol on a flag above the entrance to Maz's Cantina.

@FrolickingFizzgig

Yeah, it's not really fair to include those ones. There were still quite a few on the list that I'd never heard before. But I didn't go trawling for spoilers before TFA so I missed out on all that (thank goodness!)

I would certainly go with MSW spoilers over any other source, even if it's hard to judge at this stage what will make the final cut and the wider context of some scenes.

@Mrs Ben Solo

A lot of those spoilers were just plain wild ... However, you can't help but notice that there is a lot "off" or "out-of-force-control" Luke. It makes you wonder if they have saved a little bit of that for Episode VIII considering how haggard he looks in that Rian Johnson teaser.

@SoloSideCousin

It would certainly fit with the exploding hut rumor and the speculation we've had that Luke is the one to crash Kylo's ship.

Since I am talking Tran and Boyega I should state that there is no romance between the two. Her character, which is named Aya (but this may just be a filming code name, Flux isn’t sure),

This from Iwasraisedetc's KMT "spoiler" on July 28, 11 days after Rian revealed his list of movies that influenced VIII. This is the final nail in that coffin. I don't know if he thought that nobody would get the reference (old Japanese movie, who's gonna watch that?) or that it would give him credibility (which would be sorta case if he revealed it 11 days BEFORE Rian's list) but this is the most pathetic fake informer ever.
