This rumor involves this X-Wing (from the Force for change video) and this location. According to Jason Ward over at MakingStarWars.net,
On December 18th, 2015 you will read an opening crawl and then:
Exterior Night-Space/Savannah A lightsaber tumbles through space, crashes towards the ground.

Exterior – Night – Outskirts of the Village BB-8 watches as Stormtroopers destroy Poe’s ride (backlot)
CG Exterior – Night - Star Destroyer in the Distance Imperial Troop Transporters and Kylo Ren’s shuttle head for the Star Destroyer.
I think it is pretty clear that Poe’s X-wing is blown up and the Vicar perishes. Regarding Max von Sydow, we get emails stating his part is “a waste of a legend.” Is good acting ever wasted? This is the opening of the film, it needs to be made believable and I think a great actor like Sydow is going to do that. Is there any chance we’re wrong about Sydow being the Vicar? Sure. But there’s really not a role in a movie that seems fitting.
This sounds like a very intriguing and exciting opening to the film.
As always this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney
