Pure speculation from the trailers and released shots:
Yeah, Poe is definitely captured by the First Order. Presumably he and Finn are undercover on Kylo Ren's ship, Poe gets discovered, and that shot is where Poe tells Finn to get the hell out (likely with the plans to Starkiller base, making Finn the figurative R2 of this movie). We know Kylo tortures Poe too. What we don't know is how Poe is rescued.

I feel like Luke Skywalker will be given the role of Yoda in this movie. He will barely be in episode 7, 8 he will train whoever the last Jedi is and will become one with the force in ep9.he is how old now 60? Humans don't live as long as yoda's species. I am sure they will make sure all the old characters can have their exit in this trilogy so the next generation can take over.
Maybe he
isn't rescued? You see Kylo apply some kind of Force mind torture trick on him in the final trailer. Maybe he is a sleeper agent for Kylo from that point on?

Could be. But it would definitely be strange if
one of the primary protagonists of this movie actually served as an antagonist due to mind control.

So the saber actually does cover the cross guard in this pic? Not quite sure on how inconsistent the saber is presented. In some of the toys it shows all three blades kinda connect, others show three separate blades, and here we see the side blades covering up almost the entire top of the cross guard

New pictures!
I love the stormtrooper's reaction on the left, with the X-Wings coming in. Like "oh C'MON! We had these guys this time!"

Oh, and one other thing that could be a clue:
We hadn't seen Finn AND Rey together in the nighttime winter forest facing Kylo before. When combined with the scene of Rey crying over somebody's limp body, you can presume that Finn is possibly the fallen one, after his lightsaber battle with Kyle.
But, on the other hand, the TV spot showed the Falcon shooting out of a similar winter forest (although it was daytime then), thus suggesting that Han could still be the fallen character.
The more material I see, though, the more I'm convinced that Han will die in this movie, and Rey will inherit the Falcon alongside Chewie.

There are already a few images in calendars/books that seem to suggest your last theory is true.

No, that's just reflection on the top part of the hilt.
And you spoiled me by not spoiler tagging your quote.
Oh well, I don't think it's big spoiler anyways.

Officially released information doesn't count as spoilers. If it does to you, you shouldn't even be coming into a thread discussing the film really.
New pictures!
Now this is something I kinda wish I had avoided. Makes the picture of what's happening a lot clearer.
(Not saying it's a spoiler).
Just like Luke...

It could already be pieced together from the trailers released, this picture just confirms suspicion. And this scene is probably in the first 10 minutes of the film, after setting it up in the opening scroll, so it's not like it's a big reveal the film will be be building towards.

You're going to walk out at the very end of the movie?

The good news is that they can't risk Harrison Ford dying before episode 8 so Han will almost certainly die in this one.

Guys if you haven't pieced together the opening act of the movie from the trailer you really don't pay attention.
It does seem like a lot of the movie is going to hit the same beats as the first movie but I think that is on purpose and the end result will be something unique.

Luke didn't fight anyone with a lightsaber in ANH...besides the training droid.

Except for the slightly wonky Falcon, that's probably my favorite Force Awakens poster yet.

So Finn looks so cool. I can see him and Poe being iconic movie characters not long after this movie is released, for sure.

Love this, reminds me of
Have you seen the trailer? Doesn't look like there will be much of a fight. Finn looks like he's about to shit himself when Kylo advances towards him.
Oh, and Luke...

Actually, putting your giant weapon inside a planet seems like an improvement on the original Death Stars. Less expensive, too.

I think the new Death Star could make sense because this Ren guy is all obsessed over Darth Vader and carrying out his notion of the plan which probably includes the Death Star.
Also this is the wrong movie to complain about official media spoilers. We barely have anything, it's been marketed pretty nicely if you're weird about that kind of thing. Complaining about it is basically Thanos level now and deserves ridicule.

Abrams is playing the game right with luke. I can already tell I'm going to be nostalgic as hell when luke finally pops up.

Also, thanks for spoiling that there's a
