Who is Han's old mentor? Is that what they're calling Luke to keep him hidden?

why would they have anti lightsaber batons if the only known lightsaber users in the galaxy are kylo ken and luke.

Riot batons maybe?

Also because JJ wanted a cool fight sequence that involved a storm trooper and a lightsaber because the old concept art hinted at that.

Soon.

who are these "MakingOf" people who leaked the entire plot and why should I believe them?

Of course, most of what I read fits perfectly with the trailer/TV spot footage so far. And Harrison Ford has always wanted to have Han Solo die after New Hope and I look forward to the fans blaming this on J J Abrams

People with connections to crew working on the movies, and because they did the same, accurately, for the prequels.

So with each trailer/tv spot its becoming more and more clear that the spoiler of "Finn isn't the force sensitive one, its actually Rey" is at least half bullshit? They wouldn't have so much focus of him with a lightsaber (not just using one out of desperation against Ren, but also looking competent against a stormtrooper) if that were the case.

But who knows. I'm hoping to be surprised, even as I stalk the internet for clues.

He doesn't look competent with it at all.

He is wildly swinging it around and being parried by a storm trooper with a riot baton.

He's got it until the end of this first movie; it's a whole trilogy, so the story of Rey's force sensitivity isn't wrapped up here.

It seems really stupid/hacky to have the only force sensitive be the one probably related to the Skywalkers.

It sounds exactly like something a Star Wars fan might come up with.

I'm pretty sure nobody in ANH ever said "Moff", and I hope nobody will address Snooky by his full title.

the emperor in star wars was named after the politician travis bickle aims to assassinate in taxi driver and is also a reference to the central hill in rome. it also woulda been fine to just leave him as "the emperor".

Ah yes, the seven hills of Rome. The Aventine, the Caelian, the Capitoline, the Esquiline, the Viminal, the Quirinal, and the Sheev.

Well he is not a Jedi yet, duh, he has to get trained. Luke wasn't really a "Jedi" through most of the films either.

Only while he's not looking down. Once he realizes he's up in the air he holds up a sign with " whelp" on it and plunges straight down.

So if his name isn't really Kylo, what are the odds it's a bastardisation of his real name? Kyle "Katarn" Solo.

And, obviously, Rey "Gun" Solo.
