Alright guys, it's been MONTHS since the last update to this thread, but well, the old mods are busy with other things like being old guys (you know, prunes, adult diapers, yelling at small children playing kick-the-can out in the streets) and running their own various sites and whatnot, and well, this was a DAUNTING task, looking back over the months and months of information and compiling a bit of a timeline/official news gathering.
Remember, this is OFFICIAL news, not rumors, not leaks, not tweets from rock guitarists...official news from trusted sources.
I decided, because I didn't want to wade through EVERY single thing that has been said about this film, to just start from the last update, so without further ado...

No leaks, no rumors, no fan designs, nothing like that. This thread is supposed to serve as a catch-up for people who don't want to sift through the hundreds of pages of discussion for news bits, NOT as a catch-all for every rumor and piece of speculation.
