People probably think the new title is a spoiler too since it gives away the fact that Star Wars stuff happens in a Star Wars movie.

Wish my life was at a point where I could whine about learning an Ewok is coming back.

Y'know the thing about an Ewok, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya.

remember when the trailer for Soylent Green revealed the big twist at the end, which is the final payoff to the central mystery of the entire movie?

thank God that wasn't a spoiler, since it was part of official marketing and such

I was surprised!

Then I realised part of the movie is on Endor and it is pretty logical there are Ewoks

Now I am surprised I was surprised initially.

Nice for Warwick though!

I don't know that I needed Ewoks back but I'm not gonna complain either!
They're kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel on "characters from the old movies we can bring back for fanservice" though.

I'm glad mods are starting to clamp down on this. Too many threads have been derailed by this nonsense.

Legit question if it's part of the official marketing and not considered a spoiler why has the thread title changed?

No matter how often people repeat this. This. is. not. a. casting. announcement.
Official material hinting at an actor reprising a role is not a casting announcement.

And no matter how many times you say it, official promotional materials showing formerly unannounced cast members is the same thing as announcing new cast members.

Because the information is hidden in a one second clip in the middle of a 6 minute featurette, as opposed to being part of a press release or listed as a major headline, at least at the time the thread was made. The info is there if you watch the clip, but if you chose not to watch it (or didn't know about it) you wouldn't know it, and it would have been a nice if minor surprise.

By including the info in the thread title, the choice was removed for those who would have preferred the surprise. It's easy to not click on videos, but much harder to ignore thread titles as you're scrolling past.

Actually I think it was changed because OP got tired of the notifications of people whining.

It's time for Jek Porkins to fly again. He's the Resistance's only hope.

I didn't even know that this beloved, iconic character had a name. That's probably why I don't understand the significance.

1) Man, some folks are really precious about "spoilers" 'round here.

2) Warwick Davis is a treasure.

3) Yub Nub remains a trash song.

4) Say what you will about Ewoks, but those guys beat the snot out of imperial assault troops with sticks and stones, and that's pretty badass.

I'm so sick of this fan service bullshit. Fuck JJ Abrams.

It's really not a good look. Like, the main criticism about TFA was retreading the same plot points, using similar iconography.
And now he kinda doubles down by bringing back old characters, some of which i'm having a hard time imagining how they'd organically fit into the story. That includes Lando.
Like, why would anyone need Lando for anything 30 years from RotJ.??!
