I noticed on the McCall's website for costumes.. they have one for Rey (M7421) and one for Kylo Ren (M7422). And a coat that might be useful in the Hux greatcoat (M7374) Might be of some help for people starting out with basics.
Anyways thought I'd mention these.
 

I was discussing the officer uniform on another forum - when Peter Briggs a screenplay writer who's currently developing Panzer 88 with Gary Kurtz made this comment:
"I remember that John Mollo told me that his intent with the "Black Officers" was to make them Vader's personal troops…they were Vader's very own "SS". I was surprised at that, as I always assumed they were simply a standard Imperial rank. Likewise, John told me that the white/cream uniformed guy in the Death Star conference was modeled after Goering, and he was meant to be a sort of Air Field Marshall of the Imperial Fleet. John took his job very seriously. I think it showed!"
I couldn't think where to put it, but I thought it was worth sharing, for those who hadn't heard it.

I think it depends on who it is and the manner in which the question was asked.   I get this a lot in  historical reeenacting.  I thank them regardless of the question.  If they have elevated me from the postion or role I am portraying I thank them for my future leadership potential and superior command presence.  If they have accidentlay demoted me, I thank them for still seeing me a physcially fit, leads from the front and trenches.  If they ask if I am something out by the third ring of Saturn, the same rule applies.  
If its a special needs child or adult, I am just happy to interact with them and do what it takes to bring a smile on their face.

and it was a brisk and sloppy "Yes-SIR!" which I always thought was kind of sarcastic
You also notice nobody the head bow is only given to Vader, cause you know, he'll choke the life out of you.

I have a hunch it will be pretty good.
 
Lots of RUMINT.
 
Honeslty, if a major charater does die, to include Han, how is that any different than reality?  All wars carry a human cost in blood and treasure.  
 
If it serves the telling of a uniquely human tale, brings feeling, and makes us reflect, I don't see it as a bad thing.
 
Some of the greatest stories have major characters dying.  I am just glad G.R.R. Martin didn't write the story or script.  We'd lose half the characters in 2 hours, be confused where the story is going, and have to wait 30 years for this new trilogy to be completed.    Course a G.R.R. Martin ending to Jar Jar Binks would please the Sith in me.

Just saying... Many claim that George Lucas ruined his own franchise with the prequels.
I believe it won't be any worse. I have hopes that the new films will be good.
