Warning, Spoilers follow (although nothing specific).
This is accurate, the guy gave proof of his ticket.
"I was at the special screening and will confirm, in general terms, what goes down in the first 10-15 minutes that we were shown. However, Rian himself asked us not to give out the deets, so I want to respect that. If you ask me general questions, I'm happy to answer, but I won't go much beyond yes or no.
Some things that aren't specific:
-There was no opening crawl or logo/ title screen or opening theme. It just starts straight into the action. We do, however get the traditional shot of a ship and a planet.
-Can confirm that about 99% of other script leaks are fake based on the fact that they all contain/discuss a character who dies in the opening scene. (I'm not going to say who, but it was a very poignant scene, given that we only see them for about 30 seconds when it happens. Extremely well done!) (EDIT: Apparently this has been spoiled already elsewhere, so I'll go ahead and confirm it in the comments, for those who want to know, just read through.)
-The score was masterful: unobtrusive, and REALLY built up the tension in the action scenes. I can't wait to hear more of it!
-There is a bit of unexpected humor in it. It's basically the Star Wars equivalent of a "your mom" joke at another character's expense. I found it entertaining, but I'm sure some will think it was a bit out of place, given the seriousness of all the action surrounding it.
-There is no F-ing around. The action starts right away. The first of many massive space battles (I say the first of many because the first 10 mins has a lot of things we've already seen from the trailers, official photos, BTS reels, and tv spots, and much of that becomes obvious that it's from later in the film) opens up within 30 seconds or less of the movie starting.
-Kylo Ren is not in the first scenes.
-The shot of Leia looking relieved, aboard the Resistance Cruiser (in one of the TV ads) is not a response to Kylo's TIE fly-by as we were led to believe. We could already suss out a bit of the misdirection from the trailers in just these first few scenes.
-We've actually already seen a good deal of the opening in all of the officially released media so far, the only thing lacking was context. So it's not actually all that spoilery. It is very exciting to see it all come together though, and you can already start to see how some plot lines are going to resolve, just based on what we have seen and what wasn't in those opening scenes. We also already know that, again, a LOT of things in the trailer were cut.
Anyway, please feel free to ask, and I'll try to get back to you in a timely, if vague, manner. I feel like I have to yell about this because it was SO MUCH FUN, but also I do want to respect Rian's wishes."
