My random Star Wars thought: I am truly not understanding why we haven't seen any Rogue One trailers or even a teaser!

They are likely waiting for Celebration or the Captain America film to release that. Both will be after The Force Awakens comes out on disc.

Yeah, the diagram of Ren's command shuttle is really awesome, especially when you find out just how much tough, high-tech equipment it's really packing. And that shuttle is just an all-around AMAZING design. That ship is a freaking BEAST.
I actually thought the shuttle was oversized. Why the huge wings, that have to extend? They seem superfluous to the flight mechanic, especially considering that the Resistance came in on a ship with no wings and a horizontally oriented fuselage.  I would have kept the main body, but stuck with the more traditional Lambda class Shuttle type wing configuration. Huh...I didn't know ADHD keeps one out of the service. Didn't stop my dad; then again he (like me) doesn't take anything for it.
It keeps you out if you're on meds. My dad is ADHD as well (wonder where I get it  ) but that was back in the 70's before they even knew what was going on with it. |

According to the Incredible Cross-Sections book, the wings contain an extremely powerful sensor suite and electronic countermeasures--almost like a mini-AWACS. I've been having some fun with that fact in an informal RP, as a matter of fact.  |

Here's another fact: apparently if someone switched on the full active sensor array while landed, the huge amounts of radiation they put out could be damaging. I doubt we'd see that happen--and we may not hear about the sensors/countermeasures on the ship in movie. But considering that another fact from the Visual Dictionary explains Kylo Ren surviving being shot by a bowcaster (that pleated coat under his surcoat is actually a type of clothlike armor!), I suspect it is "canon." |

Another picture in that book called it "armorweave." Somehow, that first one is disturbing.  |

This is why Kylo survived the Bowcaster shot:  |

You only live once. Wrong.
You only die once. You live every moment of your life.
The question is, are you alive, and living your life? Or just here, and watching your life go by?
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death
Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet those hands will never hold anything
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

I...think it's possible, though I wonder how sentimental Chewie really would've been at that point.
The armor Kylo Ren was wearing under his surcoat likely also had something to do with it.

I'd definitely say it's possible that Chewie had mercy. He could've killed him if he wanted to IMO.
