Idea 1: They split up twins like the the prequels. Still don't know if that makes sense since they wouldn't leave a daughter young alone like that. Was goatee guy from the opener who died her caretaker? Seemed like she was along for a long time so probably not.


Idea 2: Is Mara Jade around? Maybe Rey is Luke's daughter. Too obvious but operas are usually a little bit obvious with the story.

-How'd the orange woman find the lightsaber it fell down the shaft in Bespin in Empire.

Fucking Han dying sucks. Some fucking dickhead was talking about it last night at a Burger King. Didn't want to say anything to make him confirm it as a spoiler but fuck that prick. Should just eat at Panera anyways.

Where the F did that "map to Luke Skywalker" come from? Who made it? Why? Was it Luke? Why is he doing this? I WANT ANSWERS NOW!

made me think of City Slickers II, with the map piece in the hat. My only problem with this was: did they not say the map was in "multiple pieces"? How the fuck did Artoo have the whole damn map except that piece? That's not multiple. That's two!

Also had a problem with BB-8. Not in the "easily marketable mascot" way, but in the plot... he was described as "one of a kind", and everyone kept identifying it by the orange. Why not PAINT THE FUCKING DROID?!? Nobody would be searching for a a green or purple BB unit. Nobody thought to disguse the damn thing.

two stormtroopers saw him and were like "fuck that noise", and turned back to wherever they came from.

I wouldn't worry about Han's impalement from Marilyn Manson and subsequent tumble. He'll be back in the next movie as Solo the White!

Seriously, though. Vibe I got from him in the movie was like the cyclops from Krull, who could see into the future to where and when he dies. Kind got it ever since he was talking about how he didn't believe in the Force, but knows it's real now. Why else would he choose right then to go see his son and draw attention to themselves when they had a clear shot of escaping? Kylo's ability to focus his power is already pretty inconsistent, as he could tell they were on the planet, but not when he was 50 feet away. They could have set the charges and been on their merry. It was like Han was there to die.

As far as Luke's deal, maybe it isn't super sinister or even swervy as everything seems to suggest. Maybe they're going to play the guilt/burdened angle straight, and he exiled himself from everything and everyone because he really feels like the galaxy is better off. I mean, EVERYBODY is looking for the guy. And Leia and Han "went back tomwhat they weregood at" at an emotional rough patch, imagine multiplying that by virtually everyone.

Leia specifically tells Han to come back with their son. when he questions how he could reach through to him, she says because your his father.

R2 had it because he scanned the Imperial Network in A New Hope. It's the last Jedi Temple. Don't know why they had a huge piece missing unless Yoda did that before they could scan everything after Order 66.

the ownership history of the Millennium Falcon; from off the lot, to Han Solo "stealing it back" from a quite a list of theives in this one. I mean, even when it is first broached, Han won it from Lando in a card game, but it's never stated that Lando is the original owner. A timeline of events from the "point of view" of the ship seems like a story in and of itself.

That wasn't Coruscant though. It just was a planet that looked like it. Hosnian Prime.

Anyway, now that the First Order has destroyed the senate, I'm sure we'll see the Republic in subsequent films, though if I had to guess, it will be a situation where they are against the First Order but not on the side of the heroes either. Borsk Feyla situation like the EU.

One of the "best" speculation/analogy I read was that the New Republic didn't want open war with the First Order, so Leia goes and forms the Resistance.... but the New Republic gives them weapons and equipment. Much like the USA would give weapons to "resistance" fighters in various countries they didn't want to have open war with but would like it if someone else was in charge of.

So then the First Order, despite their main combative enemies being the Resistance, are sour at the New Republic and blow them up.

Are we sure it was Coruscant that was destroyed? I mean yeah it looked exactly like it, but why it was never mentioned by name? I think STD might be right

I could see Han Solo's death coming, but I was still shocked and saddened. Kylo Ren interests me . Not being a an unstoppable killing machine probably makes him more interesting.

I think Rey being Luke's daughter is too obvious. I don't know who else could be her parents though. Luke better be one bad motherfucker when he does come back.

Reading about it "online", it was indeed not Coruscant that was destroyed. STD is correct. New Republic and its senate set up on some other worlds.

The children that Ray hears crying when she finds the lightsaber are the younglings that Anakin killed in episode 3? If so that's another nice touch.

Admiral Ackbar and Nien Nunb were there,

the old guy at the beginning is supposed to be? They tout him as this old ally, but never once say his name before he is brutally murdered.

When the republic planets got blown up, you had no connection to them. For example in the new hope, you knew that alderan was leias home, and vader explained beforehand what the station could do before he did it then blew it up in front of her.

This time, you didnt even really know it was coming, and they did it to an entire system, but you didnt really care because you never even got the name of the planets they blew up. Noone was from there and noone cared.

It was cool to see that he was Hans kid, but you saw it coming that he was going to kill Han. That whole scene was just duuuhhh. And the moment when he gave the sabre to Han like he was going to turn to the light, it felt like he was a sociopath playing with his food. He knew he was going to kill him and he did it that way to make it worse for Han. It looked like there was no inner struggle.

yes Fin was a stormtrooper taken and brainwashed as a youth, but he broke that programming pretty fast and pretty easy, and when he said what he was, he had no emotion to it and neither did the audience. It was like "this happened" "ok cool... moving on"

Same with Rey. no parents and mysterious past. got it.

WTF happened to Po? He just shows up in an xwing. I mean he has like a 2 second explaination.

it was just there. They gave it almost no explaination and blew up a bunch of planets. It also went down the exact same way almost as the Death star.

Super convinced that Snoke is Darth Plagueis. The music that plays during the Snoke scene is almost the same track from the scene in ep. 3 when palpatine tells Anakin about him. Kylo Ren describes him as wise and Plagueis was known as Plagueis the wise. Could be coincidence or red herrings but it makes sense. You want to introduce a villain that is a bigger threat than the emporer, why not the emporers master?

Isn't Darth Plagueis dead? Unless you are saying that Palpatine didn't really kill him.

Either he survived, and tricked palpatine into thinking he was dead (which might explain all the scars), or Plagueis and Sidious were the true master and apprentice the whole time, and Maul, Dooku, and even Vader were just pawns in their greater schemes.

He probably did not. The now non-canon novels had a good section on how Plagueis was paranoid enough to have clones of him. Then there's the whole knowledge of the life force etc etc
