Han looks like the most bad-ass grandpa in the galaxy...maybe, the universe.

That is going to be the first break out from a star destroyer in the saga. Plus, the first time we see two heroes inside a TIE.

The person that leaked that is very brave considering what happens to those that cross the Mouse...

I will suggest "Spoiler" unless you plan to read all the books that will accompany The Force Awakens.

The galaxy is clearly in turmoil after the death of Emperor Palpatine and things changed drastically between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. For the most part, here are the “macro” events that transpire after Return of the Jedi.

Basically the collapse of civilisation from important events in history but in space

• Coruscant was in chaos, Grand Vizier Mas Amedda attempted to keep the Empire together by any means necessary.
• The Imperial chain of command was is in disarray; no one knew exactly which superior officer they were supposed to follow or what the consequences for doing so might be.
• Several powerful people tried to declare themselves Emperor; the rank and file didn’t really care much for those declarations any longer.
• Pretenders to the throne used their forces to fight one another and chaos ensued.
• The Anoat sector was cut off completely.
• The Rebel Alliance secured several systems and set up bases there in relative peace with minor resistance.
• The Rebel Alliance proclaimed itself the New Republic by this time.
• The New Republic was established in the Hosnian System.
• One year after The Battle of Endor the galaxy was still embroiled in all-out war, however.
• Emperor Palpatine was praised as a martyr by many and young and untrained Imperial Cadets were sent to the front lines in his name.
• Many battles for Naboo were fought in the year after Palpatine’s death.
• The capital of Naboo, Theed, was well protected and stable.
• Imperial sympathizers tried rallying at Naboo because it was Palpatine’s homeworld. The planet was still relatively wealthy and healthy.
• The Empire repeatedly tried to invade Naboo, but every attempt was thwarted.
• The New Republic celebrated its victory in liberating Naboo by the third battle.
• Sondiv Sella served the New Republic beside Mon Mothma and Leia Organa.
• The New Republic had a provisional galactic senate with elected representatives established.
• Imperial laws were rewritten by the New Republic to be more benevolent and just.
• Democracy was returning.
• Worlds polluted by Imperial strip mining were being rebuilt; there were also slavery reparations.
• One year out, Jakku was seen as a worthless world.
• There was strategic value in Jakku for one power-hungry Moff who wanted to win back the sector.
• General Carlist Rieekan, a leader of the New Republic, sent a team out to capture a Star Destroyer christened Inflictor, over Jakku.
• The Battle of Jakku took place in the stars, in the sky, and on land.
• The Battle of Jakku was the largest battle since the Battle of Endor.
• The New Republic gained an advantage through better tactics, despite the Empire outnumbering them vastly.
• The Captain of The Inflictor decided to follow protocol and scuttle the ship rather than surrender it.
• The ship then crashed to the surface of Jakku.
• One month after the Battle of Jakku there were no longer any large-scale battles by the Empire and they vanished into a nebula.
• Having gathered their forces for a counterattack and established a new chain of command, Imperial vessels within Core and Inner Rim areas stayed within borders defined by a treaty, waiting to erupt at any moment.

As we can see, there was a lot of turmoil following Return of the Jedi. Stability is not certain. And there are definitely parallels with our own history.
Which makes the backstory to the The Force Awakens even more interesting than once thought.

@SCOTT27 Yep, I know MSW quite well. They spoiled the whole movie back in February, I´ll leave it here for you (on the same thread of that forum you can find the same otline with pictures and scene descriptions):

Star Wars Anthologies : Rogue One.

 

[SKY]

Just one week to know more about it.

 

[klier]

I kinda feel like I just saw the whole movie.

That's why I am so not watching any trailer. Bond and Star Wars are going to be the only ones I will see in a theater this year. I am not going to be spoiled by all these trailers revealing half of the story/set pieces.

I regret watching it as well, thus I figure I leave a few words as a warning.

It looks like it has parallels with Germany's defeat after WW1 (Empire in Episode VI and the rise of Nazi Germany. (First Order in Episode VII)

Can you PLEASE stop posting these non stop spoiler images?

Sheesh, why don't you focus on BMW instead of all these Star Wars details?

Appears that the new and final trailer for The Force Awakens will air tonight in the US.

Here's the new poster too...

First real confirmation of Finn - wielding a lightsabre - becoming a Jedi. Oh, and there's an all new Death Star too.

Be careful with TFA guys. The plot was leaked back in February and the internet is full of spoilers.

Deaths, duels, parentages... Is all there.

BTW @klier you will have the honor to be the first one to watch it (Netherlands is the first country where it premieres). You going day one? I am asking in order to know if I should text you the very moment you get out.
