The idea that Rey could be Han's daughter doesn't hold up at all. If he abandoned her on Jakku when she was a kid (why would he do that?), how come he wouldn't recognize her or feel a connection when they meet again and she tells him she comes from that same planet? Same for Leia who doesn't look like she cares or feel…
No doubt Kylo knows Rey, to an extent. When she pulls the lightsaber out of the snow, he says, "It is you" suggesting that they at least have some kind of a history Some speculate that it might even have been Kylo that left Rey on Jakku, and who maybe saved her from another Knight of Ren in the rainy scene of the force…
Yeah, it really bugged me how she just suddenly developed force powers, knew how to use them, and on the same day took down a trained Sith apprentice in a lightsaber duel. Her character didn't develop at all; for the most part she just didn't *have* a character, she was a consistent plot device. I felt Poe Dameron's…
Have you seen the film? Rey is not Kylo Ren's sister, that much was made fairly obvious in the film by the way other characters treated her. If she's anyone's descendant, it has to be Luke, especially as it would seem that Luke set up the map and was expecting her to follow it to find him, and because of how she reacted…
Just watched it. It's pretty good. But..... a few things I didn't like. First, Finn held his own for too long against Kylo Ren. He was a storm trooper, his weapon was a blaster. He shouldn't be able to use a lightsaber out of the blue... If the movie had shown him holding that Stormtrooper's melee weapon in the beginning,…
Loved it! I am very sensible to bad/overused CGI and I thought it was subtle enough (mostly) to let me enjoy the story. The bestiary and characters felt very old school SW, the lightsaber battles had much more weight than in the prequels, much closer to the original "medieval" looking saber duels. The acting of Han and…
A few other points that I'm nitpicking... * If Rey has been using a Vibroblade, that would make more sense to translate to Lightsaber. Quarterstaff is too different to using a blade weapon. * Rey didn't know a thing or two about Jedi before. Suddenly she tries to mind-control a stormtrooper. If she had asked Solo about the…
Saw it yesterday. It Started off in the right direction: The search for Luke Skywalker -awesome premise, but that whole strand of the plot gets thrown to the wayside so we can rehash the same old Deathstar raid ,that at it's best, is a watered down version of the originals. I could have forgiven it if they had done that…
Loved the movie, and I was mindful of being critical, not wanting to end up the equivalent of a TPM defender. I've been thinking on the movie all of yesterday and today, couldn't stop talking about it (a good thing imo) and I honestly feel it succeeds in living up to the "new generation of Star Wars" title. It raises…
I know this thread says spoilers are in it but just a warning my post may contain plot points for the next movies in the series (all speculation of course but just my theories) So with that warning. Here we go. I haven't seen it yet but I have read everything and watched some leaked footage. They are def taking a lot or…
