So Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter?

I figured she had to be as the island was in her mind without her realising, suggesting a deep link to Luke.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't get a suggestion of it.
As good as it was, it did feel like a retread of A New Hope.

Star wars has always been about the Skywalkers. Growing up on a desert planet, finding her force powers, being drawn by Anakins lightsaber..she has to be Lukes daughter.
Before the film began I thought Rey and Kylo might be twins. But one being a Solo and one being a Skywalker makes sense as well. I hadnt read or reseaerched any spoilers before the film came out, so when I look back on them now, some of the speculation is way off, but some is spot on. |

I wouldn't mind her parents being characters we don't know, since it's a new story. It doesn't necessarily need to be all Skywalkers, get in some new players. Jedi's aren't supposed to have families are they? Also she was old enough to know her parents, but surprised to learn Luke Skywalker isn't a myth.
As for Han Solo, it is sad but does follow the Star Wars line of killing off fathers and father figures (seriously, don't take anyone under your wing in that universe). Wonder if that was part of convincing Harrison Ford to come back. He's been wanting to kill him off since Empire. He's 73 and notoriously grumpy but has been much more engaged for the past year on the promotion circuit. Might have been easier for them to say "Come on Harrison, just put on the smiles and play along for a year, then you're done. You won't have to do it anymore". Might have been a bit harder to do if it was "Urgh, 8 more years of this shit". Main disappointment though is that he's always been the series MVP. Charismatic, funny, everyone loves him. Hopefully the new cast can reach those same levels. Also, nice cameo has been revealed. Turns out Daniel Craig was the stormtrooper that Rey uses the force on ![]()

I thought it was amazing, but I was looking forward to Fisher, Hamil and Ford on screen together. Can't really argue, the Hans death scene was great.

She was left on Jakku when she was young, we don't how long Han had been estranged from Leia. There is no reason to assume Han would recognise her. At this point in the story why do we need to know who the mother is?

I dunno, if she is Luke's or Han's or Leia's and they were trying to hide her, I can't see those characters abandoning their child on a desert planet with someone she has to pay to eat. No royal or happy family adoption for this one! Life of solitude for you.
Hope we haven't seen the last of the Raid actors either. Bit disappointed they only got a couple of lines. Fingers crossed they get to show off some of their martial arts skillz in later ones.

God the scene with the x-wings swooping into safe Han on Maz's planet made my geek meter explode had a massive grin on my face. The final scene made it for me the look on Luke's face with the realization his time had come again to return to the galaxy at large, pure devastation etched on his face and the look of hope and necessity from Rey.
Thank fuck they did not kill off any the bad guys found the relationship, between Hux and Kylo to be interesting and hope they expand on it further.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but there were two niggly things...
Every time General Hux came on screen I couldn't help think of Harry Potter. In my opinion he was somewhat miscast. Also Snoke looked like he had just came from the set of LOTR or The Hobbit. |

I'm guessing that's a troll post

Actually its quite a popular idea, you can hear both versions of obi wan talk to her in her flash back. She could be a grandchild of his.

Because he was played by Andy Serkis or just looked like one of the LOTR/Hobbit characters? Serious question btw.

Looking back now i enjoyed it but at the time...not so. i felt it was just a rehash of "A new hope"
desert character,check, droid lost in desert on a secret mission..check daring escape from said desert planet..check death star mk 3..check..blown up by x-wing through a trench,..check. old wise character bites it check. character realises they are force sensitive ..check

Yeah but that's all done with such style and verve I don't care. I even enjoy that its a rehash of ANH for a new generation.

Quality film 10/10 for me, there was bits where you think youve seen this before.
But it didnt take anything from the film at all, kept you watching from beginning to end.
