SW7 Sweepstakes

NOTE: I've brought this directly over from TT, so I have no idea whether every member who played is still here or whether usernames are still the same. If you're on the list for a guess but you've changed your name, let me know and I will edit it.

SW7 is around the corner... so let's have some fun with it. I'll be posting various questions in the thread and all you have to do is submit your guess at the answer. Whoever is closest wins a point, and whoever wins the most rounds by the time SW7 opens, well, wins.

Dear god, that was a poor guess.

Any chance of updating this? I think everything's happened that was predicted.

Only Round 5 is still active I think........And I guess vertical launch

Though some of the slogan/world first guesses were spot on!
