There's already a thread dedicated to Force Awakens, but unsurprisingly, it's filled with a bunch of hate. What the fuck happened to this place? Are we not artists? Have we forgotten the fact that artists need encouragement, something positive to aspire to? Have we forgotten how to enjoy cinema?
So this new thread is strictly for the normal people who actually liked that dope-ass movie that Abrams just dropped on us on my 40th birthday.
Here's the obvious big question -- who is Rey? Is she a Skywalker?! I know it's being hinted at, and it would fit the theme of history repeating itself, but my intuition is telling me she ain't. I don't know who she is the child of.
That being said, I think she was raised by a Kenobi. Rey speaks with a British accent. That is normally reserved for people in the Empire/First Order. On the good side of the force, only Obi Wan has ever spoken with a British accent. And during the flashback scene, Obi Wan can be heard calling out to Rey, by name. Does Obi Wan have a sibling we never knew about?
Also in that flashback scene, somebody grabs her by the arm, pulling her away from some unseen imminent danger. That hand looks like it could belong to Kylo Ren. When somebody mentions a girl is present on the Starkiller, Kylo gets all angsty and asks, "what girl?!". When the two of them face off against each other, Kylo tries to recruit her. Clearly, they have a connection that dates back to their childhood.
And for the record, I don't want to hear a single person say that it doesn't make sense that Rey could just instantly pick up the Force the way she appears to. She is obviously not a virgin to the ways of the Force. I don't know how, when, or by who, but Rey has obviously received some instruction.
Also, please stop talking about how unrealistic it is that she could compete with Kylo. When the two of them square off, Kylo had just taken a direct hit to his ribs from Chewie's super-powerful laser-bow. Kylo should've died at that point. But he's fucking strong with the force, and that's how he was able to even maintain in a fight against two people.
Here's the big one -- before murdering his own father, Kylo confessed to him that he is so full of pain and he just wants it to stop. He asks Dad Solo if he'll help, to which Han replies, "anything". And that's when Kylo murders his own dad, with tears in both of their eyes.
Is it possible that the reason Kylo murders his father is because that's the last step necessary to convince Snoke that he is 100% committed to the Dark Side? Is it possible that Kylo actually wants the Good Side of the Force to prevail, but his way of making that happen is to go DEEP undercover in the Dark Side? Is it possible that the reason he tried to recruit Rey is because he needs a teammate to help him eventually take out Snoke?
Some of these theories are mine own, some are taken from random things I've seen on the interwebs. There is one thing I insist on - Rey and Fin simply must end up together.
Your thoughts?
