Perhaps Rey is unaware of her lineage, also.

Ren kills Han because he doesn't want to pay back the interest on a loan Han gave him years before.

Rey is Eldon Tyrell's adopted daughter, and Finn is a facedancer employed by CHOAM.

quote:

As we get closer and closer to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, more secrets from the movie are being spilled by director J.J. Abrams and the cast. The latest batch come courtesy of Andy Serkis, the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star who is playing the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke (via motion capture) in this highly anticipated release.

While it�s thought that he�s in charge of The First Order and quite possibly a Sith Lord, Serkis has now revealed that he may be much, much bigger than anyone ever suspected!

quote:
�It was quite an unusual situation. I worked specifically with Domhnall Gleeson and with Adam Driver. My first day was basically standing on a 25-foot podium doing Lord Snoke without the faintest idea what he looked like� or in fact who he was! I was very high up, totally on my own, away from everybody else, but acting with them. He is severely damaged. Although he�s a powerful leader, he comes across as vulnerable. Very scarred and disfigured. We used sort of a �Kongolizer� method of having sound come out of speakers to give a sense of scale and distance for the character. So it was very challenging and scary, in fact probably one of my most scary film experiences I�ve ever had.�

This is a surprising revelation, and one which leads to a lot of new questions about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, especially as a gigantic creature like this is going to be a first for the franchise. How will the heroes possibly combat a threat this massive and what exactly is Snoke?! That remains to be seen, but the movie just got even more intriguing, that�s for sure.

There�s not long to go until the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it should be interesting to see if Snoke is kept under wraps until December 18th.

The reason his character has been cloaked in such mystery probably has a lot to do with the fact that he's so scary, once the moviegoing public finally sees him, they'll void their bowels 2 seconds later.

He's the "Brown Noise" of film antagonists.

Han probably dies, but the spoilers may be wrong about the cause of death. It's entirely possible that he goes out just like Ginger Rothstein at the end of Casino, rather than by a lightsaber wound from Kylo Ren.

All he'll have left when he dies is 3,600 bucks in mint condition Republic credits.

Per goon Cnut the Great in the other SW thread:

Cnut the Great posted:

Has anyone posted about the new galaxy map Lucasfilm released a few days ago? It (seemingly) confirms a major plot point about TFA in a pretty ingeniously sneaky way:

WARNING -- SPOILERS IN LINK BELOW

http://makingstarwars.net/2015/11/star-wars-the-force-awakens-starkiller-location-has-some-interesting-geographic-implications/

Basically, Starkiller Base is Ilum. As in, the planet where all the lightsaber/kyber crystals come from. As The Clone Wars revealed, rare, unusually massive kyber crystals are what gave previous Death Stars their boom power. So now imagine what would happen if an entire planet practically made out of kyber crystals got turned into a power amplifier for a gargantuan superlaser built straight into the planet's core.

Per alleged spoilers, Kylo Ren is Leia and Han's kid. He gets sent to Luke to train as a Jedi; Kylo goes nuts and kills a bunch of people at Luke's new temple, causing Luke to become a hermit.

Rey is supposed to be Luke's daughter; he pulled an Obi-Wan and left her on Jakku as a baby to be taken care of because he felt that staying with him would have been too dangerous.

Luke will go in another direction with the reveal of his daughter's lineage.

"Hey Rey, i'm your DAD!"

And then he offers her a high-five. And then a low-five.

Up top. Down low.

Ohhhhhhhh. Too slow.

Kylo just wants Vader-senpai to notice him. He's the Sith version of a Hot Topic shopper.

So Finn is just a guy who can wield a lightsaber and not a force user?

All the rumors are "Finn fights Kylo in the forest, holds his own for a little while before getting hurt, then Rey grabs Anakin's saber from him and fights Kylo to a draw before Starkiller Base starts to blow up and everyone gets the hell out of there".

Jonas Albrecht posted:

So Finn gets defeated because he's just a trained soldier and not the least bit Force sensitive?

Sure looks that way; everything i've read says that he gets beat pretty easily by Kylo, Rey sees this, becomes overwhelmed with the force, and starts expertly fighting Kylo Ren after the lightsaber flies into her hand.
