Poe is the name of JJ’s daughters stuffed polar bear, and Dameron is someone’s last name he knows.

According to an interview with JJ (one in which he purposely said that Finn and Rey’s last names have been withheld on purpose) he says that Phasma’s name has a purpose and a reasoning that makes sense.

Meh, only if you’re really reaching to be offended. Why does the placement matter?

Because any higher and it’s a belt buckle....and any lower and it’s at her knees (bearing in mind the text would have to float and movie with it). The text placement would have to be specific for a magazine cover (the lower quarter is standard)...So this was the most viable option. It’s not gross or anything, just…

I read an interview from Star Wars Celebration where Hamill and Abrams stated that the dialogue was re-recorded entirely...so I’m not sure why they’d keep it as “has” and not had if they were rerecording it.

Actually, the fact that he says “has” and the fact that both Mark Hamill and JJ said that the dialogue from the teaser was freshly recorded (not take from JEDI as some thought)...probably means something.

Totally. I’d also guess that there are WAY mor images avail to grab for these covers from the OT than TFA.

If you look in close up shots of the staff, the ends are IDENTICAL to the emitters for the blades on Darth Maul’s Dual bladed saber (like completely identical). At a guess, this means that the staff, has more than one function...
