If certain outlets are to be believed, this episode of Rumor Control contains roughly 90% of the story to The Force Awakens. 90% is a pretty good number. But it's that pesky 10% that might end up containing a lot of the story's heart.

This is an episode about things you thought you knew about The Force Awakens, but you didn't really know until now, when you'll DEFINITELY know them, although that could change between now and December.

This episode locks down the beginning of the movie, the VEEEEERY end of the movie, (Yes, really) and how those events affect our Original Trilogy heroes in The Force Awakens - one of whom is going to have a REALLY rough time in this movie.
