    It's not too late. The internet is forever. Just go rumor by rumor and track it down to its source.

    I'll start, and others can add to this thread. We'll have a complete list in no time.

    Will this list include production rumors and behind-the-scenes intrigue as well? I am more interested in the validity of rumors surrounding Michael Arndt's departure than I am about plot rumors since those will be easier to confirm when the movie comes out.

    A joke? The staff at tfn does not seem to be interested in ep7.

    I didn't expect to see anything until the movie releases. Otherwise, how will you know who was right or wrong (or right from a certain POV)? With that said, early 2016 works because we'll be deep in Episode VIII development by then.

    We will have lots of things confirmed and refuted before the movie comes out. The trailer will confirm and refute lots of things. And leaks can confirm leaks - new, reputable leaks can confirm or refute older, unverified rumors. Here's how I'm imagining it:

    Website-A posts Rumor-A1 and Rumor-A2 and says they're both from Source-A.
    Website-B posts Rumor-B1 and Rumor-B2 and says they're both from Source-B.

    Trailer comes out. Trailer shows that Rumor-A1 is false and Rumor-B1 is true, but the trailer doesn't confirm or refute Rumor-A2 or Rumor-B2.

    We look at our chart, which shows the website for each rumor, and we have evidence that Rumor-A2 is false even though it wasn't refuted in the trailer, and we have evidence that Rumor-B2 is true, even though it wasn't confirmed in the trailer.

    Awesome. It looks like we'll get the data early enough in the Episode VIII production process for it to really matter.

    Silly me, I forgot that every conversation on the internet has to devolve into "...and this is an example of what a terrible person you are." I love the site and love lurking the forums. I was just hoping to be able to jump into someone's database of leaks that was started a long time ago. I've started one now but I think putting together the list after the fact means it's less reliable - someone who grew less confident in his/her own post might subtly change the wording months later.

    I really liked "A New Dawn" although its history now but would have worked nicely.

    What of the C3PO arm? Apologize if discussed somewhere else but i believe the droids to be the property of the First Order, hence the red left arm, like the left Tie wing and other red insignia.

    Send him a tweet. He is probably on a flight back from L.A. as he was at The Force Awakens press junket for the Daily Dot.
