During a recent interview with ScreenSlam, she revealed that the said amount of secrecy is not going to be “as bad as you think.” She said the current level of secrecy is something they'll “monitor, pay attention to and think differently about.”, but it sounds like she's willing to share what they're doing with the fans, which is pretty cool.
After all, who knows? if they communicate with fans regularly, they might want find the feedback useful and avoid fan-hated mistakes like Jar Jar Binks in time. (though I really fail to see why he annoyed so many of them. What annoys me as much are Peter Griffin-like characters, but it still doesn't make me wanna yell at their creators and you'll never hear me ranting about the show/film, because I love it too much. I guess my ‘wiring' is completely alien-made.)
Here's the actual thing she said, and you can check out the entire video at the end of the article:
We talk about that all the time. I think the whole issue of confidentiality is gonna be fascinating as we move into making the movie. If we're shooting anything outside, it's almost impossible to not have things end up on the Internet. So my feeling is, you need to embrace that, especially with the fans around something like Star Wars. You need to recognize they're important to the process and acknowledge there are things you're gonna want to make sure they get to know. So I think that's something we're going to monitor, pay attention to and think differently about.
Whether or not Abrams will be cool with that remains to be seen, but keeping fans timely informed will likely keep them happy, as I've said, and not full of venom.
What do you think, will he agree with this? Are you looking forward to be in the loop?
