Every trailer/teaser released so far has been awesome. So much of the story is unknown, even to the most in the know spoiler sites, JJ and crew have done a good job keeping the fans guessing.

We have no idea if the new characters Rey, Finn and Kylo are related to anyone from the original trilogy, we have no idea why Luke is missing...all anyone has at this point is guesses and that is pretty awesome.

Not sure if this is a big spoiler or not since it's been speculated, i think, but....
Evidently, there was a puzzle that appeared on Amazon early that indicated Finn is Lando's son.

I almost posted this, but after looking into it - the person selling the puzzle made that claim. It was not an officially licensed puzzle with that name on it or anything concrete like that. That seller is also gouging people at about 5 times what Amazon usually sells that puzzle for - so it looks like a money grab to me. Besides the character being black and the name rhyming pretty smoothly (Finn Calrissian) there is no reason to believe this. Previously I had heard that Finn's name may be a nickname from his designated trooper number (FN-2187).

I'm sticking with the claim that Finn lost his memory and looked at his helmet and thought his name was that.

Daniel Fleetwood, First ‘Star Wars’ Fan to See ‘The Force Awakens,’ Dead at 32

http://www.thewrap.com/daniel-fleetwood-first-star-wars-fan-to-see-the-force-awakens-dead-at-32

Daniel Fleetwood, the terminally ill young man who was granted his dying wish was to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” has died at age 32.

Fleetwood suffered from spindle cell sarcoma, a rare connective tissue cancer, and in July, his doctors gave him only two months to live.

On Tuesday morning, his wife, Ashley, confirmed his death on Facebook: “Daniel put up an amazing fight to the very end. He is now one with God and with the force. He passed in his sleep and in peace. He will always be my idol and my hero. Please hug uncle Marc for me and give Lucy lots of kisses. Rest in peace my love. This was the last selfie we ever took together. ‪#‎forcefordaniel‬”

The “Star Wars” fan’s last wish was to see “The Force Awakens,” and it was granted by Disney, Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams, who showed Fleetwood an unfinished cut of the film at his home last week. Abrams also called Fleetwood to deliver the good news, which his family said meant a lot to him.

I'm sticking with the claim that Finn lost his memory and looked at his helmet and thought his name was that.

This is also consistent with the clones (in the clone wars series) naming themselves based on nicknames of their serial numbers. Finn did say he was "raised to do one thing". It is quite possible that he never really had a name in a traditional sense.

More EW stories today, they already released some info on Lupita Nyong'o character Maz Kanata, there I supposed to be info on Luke and Supreme Leader Snoke later.

Another TV spot was released too, just 15 secs long and no new shots.

ABC is supposed to have a "Special Look at The Force Awakens" tonight during it's prime time shows (I didn't see a time):

on Thursday ABC (which is owned by Disney) will have a special The Force Awakens preview during their “TGIT” block of programming that includes Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder.

Shonda Rhimes, the creator behind these three shows, tweeted out the following earlier today:

As a big @StarWars fan, I’m excited for Thurs, as #TGITAwakens with a special look at Star Wars: The Force Awakens! pic.twitter.com/gfYKPTfTEq

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) November 10, 2015

Then on Friday Disney Channel is airing a sneak peek at 8:30 PM EST.
