AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay, that's out of the way... oh my Eru that was AMAZING!!!!!! I need to see it like 10 more times, at least. I feel like a kid again, which is exactly what I needed right now, so... okay, can I even have a coherent conversation about this movie yet? I must say I love BB-8. And this move was just so damn funny, too! It was great! And also sad... I don't believe Han is dead. Nope. Not gonna believe it. Don't care that he fell and the whole place went up. Nope. Not dead. Nuh-huh. Nope. |

I KNOWWWWW!!! I REFUSE to accept that fact! But seeing Leia's reaction... </3 Also, I want to see how Rey and Kylo Ren are connected. You KNOW they're connected more than just what you saw in the movie itself. I'm honestly thinking that she's possibly Luke's daughter and he left her on Jakku after Kylo turned on the rest of the Jedi he was training. Either that, or Han and Leia had twins... which would make Kylo and Rey the Jacen and Jaina Solo of the post-ROTJ era. But since nothing is ever mentioned of a daughter/sister/whatever, I'm inclined to think Rey and Kylo are cousins. Rey looks like she could be related to Leia or Padme... Have I mentioned I LOVE the EU nods they've giving us? And all the old jokes to the classic trilogy? THE GARBAGE CHUTE REFERENCE. :D It feels so much like a mirror of ANH without being a boring copy and I love it! It has the magic of the old trilogy, the fantastic acting that NONE of the other six movies had, and no reference made to the prequels. THIS IS WHAT THE PREQUELS SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Also, Poe and Finn have the most adorable bromance going down and I love it. :D And BB-8 is love. BB-8 is life. *points to signature* (and I swear to God if they kill Leia or Luke or Chewie I WILL RIOT) Also, Admiral Ackbar's cameo appearance. I loved it. :D And Daniel Craig (James Bond)'s cameo as the Stormtrooper who gets mindtricked! And I LOVED the female characters besides Leia and Rey! Phasma was awesome, and all the other unnamed female Resistance fighters/TK's/whatevers. And Maz feels like she could have been the token Yoda-image! Also, I have many many cosplays to build now... |

I have lost my ability to even. That is all. No, seriously. I might have called a Han Solo death scene, but that doesn't mean for a moment I'm accepting the fact that he's dead. I mean, come on. We didn't see the wound OR a body. *is living in denial* Yeah, me too! I'm putting more money on the Jaina-Jacen theory, just because of a gut feeling I have. Maybe not twins, but definitely siblings. 'Cause yes, Rey looks very similar to Keira Knightley, who, as we all know, played a handmaiden in Episode I. Suspicious. :P CAMEOS!! Gwendoline Christie as Phasma made my night. I FREAKING LOVE GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE. My only complaint, honestly, is that there wasn't any of my brand of eye candy. But hey, that's a personal thing, and I don't expect them to cater to my physical preferences. :P I need to go see it again. In IMAX. As soon as physically possible. Also I may have spent the last fifteen minutes of the movie analyzing fabric content and memorizing seam lines. When I see it again, I'm taking note paper. |

idk about the siblings theory. You hear Han and Leia both talking about their son (and seriously, BEN FREAKING SOLO?), but at no point is their hypothetical daughter mentioned. BUT, it's pretty clear that Han at least knows who Rey is, even if she doesn't. My personal theory is that she's Luke's daughter, and a survivor Jedi Youngling from Kylo's massacre (and possibly got some severe PTSD going on that's screwed up her memories of early childhood). Luke either abandoned her on Jakku himself or got Han/somebody else to do the dirty deed for him (remember how uncomfortably guilty Han looked when Rey said she didn't know that much green existed in the galaxy?), so he wouldn't endanger his kid by taking her into exile with him (or something). Kylo may have remembered a Youngling who survived, his little cousin, and sets himself to hunting in earnest for her after Jakku happens. It might help to explain the presence of the Falcon on Jakku. I want to think that if Han or Leia knew Rey was their daughter, they would have said something. But if she's Luke's kid, that could change things... (and also it would make me feel less creepified and awkward at all of Kylo's "I can take what I want from you..." lines, which if they're siblings is going to spawn more Game of Thrones jokes. Or maybe that's just my GRRM-messed up mind talking. >.>) If Rey is Leia's niece, then it's possible that her looks just take after her grandmother and aunt. Luke doesn't look a thing like Padme, nor does Leia look like Anakin, but maybe the genes just skipped a generation or something. (Although Kylo doesn't really look like Han... OR Anakin. Leia, kinda... XD) Also, fun fact- upon first entry to Maz's complex, at the far left side you can see the 501st Legion's banner. And in some scenes, notably behind Poe's X-wing when we first arrive at the Resistance base, you can see a pink R2 unit. That droid is R2-KT, and she's the 501st's droid. (the story with KT goes like this: the legion founder, Albin Johnson, had a little girl named Katie, and she loved Star Wars. When she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, she made it known that she wanted a pink R2-D2 unit more than anything else. Albin had friends in the droid builders' clubs, and they set to making the pink droid who is now known as R2-KT in Katie Johnson's memory. She's the 501st mascot, so to see her AND our banner in the movie was a fantastic shout-out from Lucasfilm. :D ) Also also, Simon Pegg and Daniel Craig had brilliant cameos. :D Scotty was the first gangster to show up after Han captures the Falcon, and James Bond was the Stormtrooper who gets mindtricked by Rey (and his TK ID/character name? JB-007. XDDDD). |

Also, upon reflection: you know how all the promo images and trailers and stuff had Finn wielding Anakin/Luke's lightsaber? They all lied. JJ Abrams, you clever SOB... At no point in the movie does Finn show signs of Force-sensitivity. He's only the carrier for the lightsaber to get it to Rey after she initially rejects it, and he winds up having to use it to defend himself- and frankly, I'm impressed he could hold his own against the Stormtrooper (one of my friends built that baton, btw...) AND against Kylo. Whereas you pretty much know Rey's Force-sensitive when she can start 'hearing' things that she shouldn't have been able to otherwise. I don't think Anakin or Luke ever modified the lightsaber to only be activated by a Force-user, as Han uses it briefly on Hoth, so it makes sense than Finn could use it. Besides that, as Finn was taken from his family as an infant, he would have been tested for FS immediately. As he was only trained as a normal TK (I guess FN is the new Stormtrooper handle now?), I think it's safe to assume that he never tested positive for the Force. Hence, he's not a Jedi and likely won't ever be trained as one, which leaves Rey the only confirmed Force-user out of the new hero trio (I think something would have shown itself if Poe was FS). |
