I think I see the one you're talking about but I don't think that's an Ithorian, though it does look similar.

Top centerish. I think it just looks weird because of the side view, maybe. I'm probably wrong.

There are red-carpet gala premieres for celebs and stuff before it opens to the public.
Some people in the costuming clubs are going to troop at such early shows .. and be able to see the movie in advance. :eek
Expect the first reports on Tuesday.
Yes. Ben Burrt said at CE II that he was (going to be) working on sound for the new movies, but I have not seen anything about his work after that.
BTW, BB-8's sounds do certainly sound like his work to me, reminiscent of Wall-E that he did before.

I sure hope he's involved heavily. He's an amazing sound-designer and very much part of SW history.

BEN BURTT[/h] I asked if Abrams could talk about Ben Burtt, the revolutionary sound designer who gave us the sounds of Wookiees, blasters, starships, and pretty much everything else that makes a noise in the Star Wars universe.
He’s the guy who taught a generation of kids to go “pew, pew, pew!” while firing blasters and “WHAANNN-whaaaan” while engaged in lightsaber duels.
Burtt is back for this movie, and I tried to get Abrams to discuss his contribution.
“I can’t talk about what he’s doing specifically on this movie, but I’ll say that I’m thrilled to get to work with Ben again,” the director said. “We worked together on the Star Trek films, on Super 8, and now on this. We also are lucky to have Gary Rydstrom, of course, and Matt Wood. We have an amazing sound team.”
What you hear can be just as important as what you see. And the original trilogy broke new ground in that department, too.

For Episode 3 ten years ago, I was in a group that camped out for six days for reserved seats, reserved seats being the norm over here. There was one set of ticket counters in the city that sold tickets (to all theatres) before on-line booking opened ... and the line to it was long. All tickets to the midnight shows were long sold out when the last person reached the counter.
We had been second in line (after a tent of two people who camped there all the time) and we got the best seats in the best theatre.
Because each person could buy up to four tickets each we took turns living in the tent. I was there only during days and the last night.
When we had got our tickets there was more than a week before the movie. opened. It would have been much too tiring to see the movie right afterwards or even the same day. This allowed us to dress up properly in costumes, attend a large pre-party and have a great midnight premiere.
The line and the pre-party were the best times I had that year (seeing the actual movie not so much...).
This year, there will be no midnight show on opening day. Instead the first show is around 10 am on a weekday, and the shows are divided into 2D and 3D shows - the majority being 3D which I would never pay to go to. So, there is no pre-party and the no specific show for which the biggest fans would gather.

I keep thinking of this like it's a long way off. It's this week. THIS WEEK! I can't wrap my head around it finally being here.

I still don't think we'll see the Disney logo since its not a Walt Disney Pictures production. Hopefully we'll get the usual Lucasfilm opening
