One of the biggest bummers from the release of "The Force Awakens" were the sheer amount of spoilers that bombarded social media before the film's first weekend had even begun. In a tounge-in-cheek disinformation campaign, many fans have taken to posting their own "fake" spoilers to disrupt the signal-to-noise ratio for people who want to stay pure before they make it into the theater. While we can't say how effective this ad-hoc campaign will be (I'd avoid the comments section of this post, for one), is it still odd that some of these silly ideas actually sound like scenes we'd LOVE to see in an upcoming entry in the world's most profitable space-fable?
Thoughts on THE LAST JEDI: - way more nudity than expected- smart idea to do it all as a rap- Charlie Sheen totally holds his own- Adam Driver's love ballad felt awkward- didn't like the 22-minute Olaf short - Smash Mouth's "All Star" was a bold end-credits choice -- Daniel Carlson (@danielwcarlson) December 12, 2017

Not gonna spoil anything from new Star Wars, but it was brave to have Jar-Jar and Chewbacca fall in love. Kudos to @rianjohnson. -- Zach Braff (@zachbraff) December 10, 2017

My STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI thoughts:- Jar Jar Binks opening monologue could be less than 35 minutes- C-3PO sex scene disgusting- Comedy "slide-whistle" SFX from Vader's lightsaber an amusing touch- Weird Dean Gaffney cameo- Kylo Ren singing Morrissey in his bedroom superb! -- James Martin (@Pundamentalism) December 14, 2017

Bold decision to make Greedo "The Last Jedi" as he grapples with his decision, after Han Solo's death, to shoot first--he survived the cantina and was rebuilt with midichlorian technology -- Chris Suellentrop (@suellentrop) December 14, 2017

It was a bold move to give Tommy Wiseau a cameo in the Last Jedi. Especially because he kept forgetting to call @HamillHimself Luke and kept saying "Oh hi, Mark" -- Chris (@ChrisBurkeUW) December 15, 2017

Not trying to spoil stuff but I am still not sure why @rianjohnson decided to make The Last Jedi a 2 hour rock opera with no less than 15 choreographed dance numbers. I'm not complaining, just want an explanation. -- Jon Risinger (@JonRisinger) December 12, 2017

I really loved The Last Jedi. The thing I don't understand is how the Porg knew where to hit the Dreadnaught with a lightsaber. They are such Mary Sues. -- Weird Shit Podcast (@WeirdShitPod) December 15, 2017
