Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Slumber Party!

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Yeah, I had been hoping to see Wedge show up, too.

[Gorn Captain]

46. He also has Crohn's disease, twin four year old girls, and works long hours, so he generally falls asleep at most movies.

Now I understand! Sorry, no disrespect intended...

[Bruce Banner]

Apparently one of the titles considered for Episode VII was "Shadow of the Empire".

[Nostalgiabuff]

i would be willing to bet they did not go with that title so as to avoid confusion with the book title

[Hedji]

Holy EU Confusion! I wonder if they were familiar with the biggest EU event of 1996 or if they just liked it and figured no one would care if they re-used it.

[Duncan]

OK, I just saw it again and have a few ideas.

Popular wisdom is that Rey is Luke's daughter with a TBD female. I buy it.
We know that Kylo Ren is Han & Leah's son.
I believe that Finn is Han's son with another TBD female. Maybe it's the leather jacket, or maybe the comment about his eyes & wanting to run away.
I also like the Internet Dad's theory about Kylo Ren killing a loved one in order to become a Sith. The loved one appeared to participate in the death.
I wonder if Poe will turn out to be related to anyone...Rey's half-brother with the same mom?

Also, I like Finn more the second time around. When I view him as Han Jr trying to get the girl, it fits a lot better.

[thunderbolt]

It's gittin a lil Kentucky in there ain't it.

yeah, this time out the cantina band will need banjos. Its amazing that in this huge galaxy, almost everyone is related.

[Duncan]

It's gittin a lil Kentucky in there ain't it.

Exactly what I was thinking. Too many coincidences. I wonder if somehow the Solo and Skywalker families are bound together by the Force.

[phil]

It's interesting that the Star Wars galaxy wasn't too bad a place until the Skywalker family was noticed. One generation helps ruin it and the next one helps save it.

[Hedji]

I think she's Luke's, but I would love to be wrong, and have her be just someone else.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I am just enjoying the ride

[Hedji]

Right on! I am happy to sit down and be told a story.

[drquest]

I was reading some comments about TFA, and sort of thought this might be an interesting twist...

Leia guilted Han into bring their son back, and basically directly caused his death. She could be pulling Ben's(Kylo Ren) strings.... I know it's a stretch but Han did leave her for some unknown amount of time.

It's obvious the Resistance isn't working well with the Republic.... It would be amazing if she's actually the one behind Snoke. Her father embraced the dark side

[drquest]

Also....

Remember how the Emperor didn't show any Force powers or interest in it before he came to power.... She could have helped by pushing Ben(Kylo) to destroy Luke's Jedi training center.

[drquest]

Also Leia just walked by Chewy when he arrived with Rey after Han's death and hugged her. She didn't know Rey at that point, or did she feel her force presence.
