A lot of us in the other thread want to speculate and talk about spoilers, so here we go. Anything is fair game so don't get mad when someone says that Luke Skywalker runs his lightsaber through Han Solo's head and airmails it to Princess Leia. I'm sure there will be disagreements and alternate theories. Try to be civil as possible. Anyway, my guesses for the stuff recently being discussed: Kylo and Rey are siblings but maybe not twins. There's too many similarities in the trailer and the teaser poster for it to be otherwise. It would make a bit of thematic sense if they were Skywalkers, but with some of the other things we think we know, that might not be the case. Luke isn't a villain. It wouldn't make sense for him to do that. His story was already told. He was at that crossroads before and rejected the dark side. Finn has to be a force user. Again, too much in the teasers and poster to think otherwise. Most likely he wants Rey to have the saber because it's a Skywalker heirloom so he wants to get it back to one of them. That of course assumes Rey is a Skywalker. Why is Rey slumming it in the desert? My guess is that because of whatever happened with Kylo and her family, she's rejected her jedi heritage and just wants to be as far away as possible from it all. Fate or whatever drags her back into it when she runs into Finn. My guess is that she's somewhat already skilled in the use of the force when this episode starts, similar to Kylo.

Oscar Isaac totally looks like an oompa-loompa in that poster, too. Yeah in that poster, Kylo and Rey are lined up in what is way too much of a coincidence. Also in the trailer, the first shot is Rey in all white and then later, when it cuts to Kylo, it's the same shot but he's in all black. Way too much of a coincidence.

Big Mean Jerk posted:My guess with Rey is that her reluctance to use the saber and the reason for her being on Jakku are the same; she's rejecting her "destiny" as a Skywalker or Solo. i also don't think Finn will end up a Jedi, at least by the end of TFA. The character seems far more suited to taking up the cause of the Resistance and being on the front lines. There's also merch and posts from Boyega's now-deleted Instagram that seem to suggest he and Chewie are the new pilot/copilot of the Falcon, possibly with Poe. I figured Finn would end up under Luke's tutelage but if he becomes Han Solo version 2, I'm down with that. Because you know Han has to be the one to bite it in this movie. And from that one scene in the trailer, I'll be a sad man if Poe gets whacked by Kylo.

Kingtheninja posted:I'm not sure about all the talk regarding Fynn and Poe escaping together in the TIE and crashing on Jakku etc. I'm seeing a distinct lack of Poe in any shots with Fynn and Rey (except one shot with Fynn and Poe outside the rebel base). On top of that, he's not represented as well as the other two on the poster. I just don't know why all these rumors persist about him getting captured and the two of them landing on Jakku, when we only see Fynn by himself or with Rey. Poe definitely gets captured at some point. Kylo mind rapes him in the trailer.

G-III posted:They're clearly meant to be mirror images of each other given all the imagery in the film. I'd rather they be siblings because then the question will be raised as to who Rey's mother is if she's Luke's kid. Unless Luke and Leia never could kick that incest habit and that's why the kids are all screwed up. I doubt Disney would let that into the story. RLM did a predictions video and I'm not sure why I didn't see it before, but a lot of what we see of Rey parallels Luke in A New Hope. So I am inclined to believe it's his kid. Also, if she's Han and Leia's where they hell did she get the accent. If she's Luke, you could speculate that her mom did the bulk of raising her.

Nothing spoilery in the new TV spot, but Harrison Ford is in this way more than I thought he'd be and by all accounts, Mark Hamill is in this way less than I thought he'd be.

Makes sense. "No, Han. I am your son." Then he puts a saber through his face.

thrawn527 posted:I don't even really know where the Luke's daughter thing started up. Everyone I know has been assuming she's Han and Leia's daughter. I know for me it was because I figured pretty early on that Kylo is Han and Leia's kid. In the EU they had twins so I figured Rey was as well. Then the more I saw of Rey, the closer she paralleled Luke's journey in A New Hope. If she turns out not to be a Skywalker at all, that cool. I still think that will be revealed eventually. Kathleen Kennedy stated that the main SW movies will be the story of the Skywalker family, so your main character better be one.

thathonkey posted:so Rey isn't Leia and Han's kid? Where did she get her force genetics from then? I strongly suspect she is somehow a Skywalker. I mentioned it earlier, but Kathleen Kennedy said that the main SW movies (episodes 7-9) will be about the Skywalker family. For that to be true, Rey, who is the lead character, would have to be one.

One of things I got from his 'look' at the end is that he realizes he's back in the game. I figure he'll clean up before he starts kicking First Order rear end. edit: Yeah Adam Driver was great. He looks like a psychopath. He got those crazy eyes.

Rape Stink posted:I think it's just Kylo who is after Luke. Doesn't that one general say something to Kylo about not letting his personal vendetta get in the way of his responsibilities to the Order when Kylo demands that they bring back BB8 alive? The opening crawl says the First Order is after Luke. They figure that as long as he's in the picture, they can never truly re-take the galaxy.

Rape Stink posted:true but then why were they ok with the map being destroyed? Seems like they are more concerned with not letting the resistance find Skywalker than they are with finding Skywalker themselves Don't overthink it. Their plan is to find Luke. Failing that, prevent the Resistance from doing so.

Rape Stink posted:Ok, but I think that finding Luke is more important to Kylo than it is to the rest of the Order. Kylo wants to find Luke and kill him or possibly turn him in order to fulfill Vader's vision, while the First Order seems a-ok with Luke remaining in exile. Their first priority seems to be making sure that he just doesn't join the resistance however they can Here's the relevant part from the opening crawl. Interpret it however you want: Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed. Eiba posted:No need to be a jerk about it. Not all of us have memorized every corridor in Star Wars. I knew it was a meaningful corridor, but I didn't know for sure it was Bespin until that guy posted what he did, so I'm thankful he did.

In Rey's force vision, she sees Kylo with this Ren buddies standing over the corpses of all the slain jedi. As for Rebels, that takes place a long time before Episode 7. Those characters could all be dead by now for all we know.
