that Luke dies somehow, after training Rey, and the Rebellion (or whatever it's called now, the name is slipping my mind)/main characters each a similar nadir as the end of EOSB.

Either way, super stoked.

They've hinted at it being darker and more serious which it shares with Empire but that the story arc is definitely different. The red letters are definitely on purpose.
I'm thinking either Luke dies  
sjnyfan : 1/23/2017 11:54 am : link
or it's a very Luke-centric story explaining the Jedi's fall (again) along with the rise of Kylo. Either way I think Rey ultimately is the "Last Jedi" and we will find out who her parents are a la Vader-Skywalker in Empire.
I honestly think Luke is Rey's father...

"Jedi" is both singular and plural  
CaptSehorn : 1/23/2017 11:57 am : link
It could be referring to Luke, Rey, or both
I don't think Luke dies  
Ben in Tampa : 1/23/2017 11:57 am : link
I think the movie is going to focus a lot on the backstory of how Kylo went to the dark side and why Luke went into exile. I think its literally going to be about "The Last Jedi" and why there isn't a new jedi order.
Just rebooting 4-6, but change the names

Rae = Luke
Luke = Obi-Wan

everyone stops complaining about how similar The Force Awakens was to A New Hope. Yeah. It was similar. I get it. Not a complete and total remake but it was similar.

That being said... it had some really marked differences that were very cool to the story.
Actually, I was wrong....

Which is why I actually think she is Obi Wan's daughter. Everything from the similar outfits, sneaking around StarKiller/Death Star scenes, the use of the Jedi Mind Trick, only two good characters with British accents and many more hints.

Not necessarily. Jedi is both singular and plural. It could be referring to Luke. It could be referring to Rey. It could be referring to both. It could be referring to more Jedi we are not yet aware of.

She is not old enough to be Oni Wan's daughter. This is 30 years after Return of the Jedi, which was what, 5 years or so after Obi Wan died. she's not 35+ years old. If she is a Kenobi, it would have to be his granddaughter.

This would be weak. Luke and Kenobi's daughter would be too easy. It would also be disappointing. I know they are ignoring the EU. But, if you are going to haqve Luke fall in love, Mara Jade would still make a much more interesting storyline than anything else.

And a lot of people do think it's Luke, I suppose it depends on perspective and what is meant by "a lot". Here's a far out idea, maybe she's a clone from Vader's DNA. After he was all toasted up, maybe Palpatine sent some genetic junk to Camino to make a copy just in case.
As an aside, Luke is supposed to be a real badass Jedi  
Matt M. : 1/23/2017 12:19 pm : link
in this film. Luke is said to be the most powerful Jedi ever and the rumors are that Luke and Rey battle the Knights of Ren at the outset of the next movie. Rey duels Kylo, while Luke takes on essentially the rest of them and he has some rather cool and powerful means of doing so.
I really hope they don't kill off Luke  
Jay on the Island : 1/23/2017 12:19 pm : link
that would be a big mistake IMO. As for Rey I really think that she is Luke's daughter. Luke, Anakin, and Rey all grew up on a dangerous desert planet. The lightsaber that once belonged to Anakin and Luke called out to her. She is also a great pilot like Luke and Vader.

That has been speculated as a possibility. Also, a clone of Palpatine...or was that a theory for Snoke?

there was a lot to like about TFA starting with the production and acting. Sure the story was familiar but that's the hand that's dealt when you are tasked with revamping a story 40 years later having to capture your existing fanbase as well as new. Its a continuation of the same story, its going to be pretty similar.

I gave them a pass on the plot of TFA for this reason. It was a safe play but probably the right one after Episodes I-III. But VIII and IX need to get back to the kick-ass story telling in addition to the high production value.

and Luke hid her on Jakku instead of trying to train her after he failed at training Kylo. Rey's fighting style even mirrors Palpatine's in the films. She's got some dark side anger and rage in her. Creates an interesting parallel with the OT and would be a cool reveal, if true.

I really, really hope she's not related to anyone. Enough of that played out plot device, already. I mean, are people really going to be wowed by yet another familial "revelation"?

But if she does have to be related to anyone...

...she's Ben's sister, Leia and Han's daughter. The only reason I can imagine for Leia blowing off Chewie and going straight to comfort Rey after Han's death. (WTF, J.J.?) Rey started learning to be a Jedi very young, and everything went haywire with Ben, so they separated Ben and Rey to protect Rey.

The original trilogy was a father/son saga, this trilogy is a brother/sister saga.

Well lets not forget that Luke learned from Yoda, who probably told him the ways to the darkside, and how to "Return the Jedi". Also, Luke is the lamest hero in the trilogy up until "Return of the Jedi" and that being said he's a huge square. I mean he is a completely different self aware Jedi master in the 3rd movie, and he knows how to not become part of the dark side. I think he would obey the rules because he is just lame enough to do so.
anakin becomes vader to save padme  
Dankbeerman : 1/23/2017 2:39 pm : link
luke becomes a jedi only after confronting his father and instead of trying to defeat him he tries to save him and bring him nack to the light.

love and sacrifice for family members is the key "force" in the saga.

even han walked into his own death at leias requestto show his love for his son and wife.

there are no rules when love is involved or at least no hesitation to break them.

luke fell in love defied the order and gave the sith a rebirth.

his solom existence is as much his punishment and his thoughts that its best for the world for nobody to find him.

there has to be good reason for him to expect rey to be turned. therefore i think her pull to the darkside is from her mother.

I always found it interesting that in A New Hope, Leia affected a British lilt when speaking to Vader and Tarkin in their scenes. Nothing more than an observation, but I wondered why that was done. We know Bail Organa spoke American English, so other than being a Princess/Senator using a more proper or regal affect in the presence of the Empire, seems curious why Leia would do that.

ZGiants98 : 1/23/2017 7:29 pm : link
Rey is Han and Leia's daughter, a.k.a. Kylo Ren's sister. Kinda seems like the next obvious choice, that if she's not Luke's daughter, she's Leia's. Rey and Kylo—birth name Ben Solo—being brother and sister would certainly have more heft than a cousin v. cousin situation, but it's extremely suspicious that Han and Leia wouldn't betray this secret at all, either in private or around Rey. Han is visibly paternal toward her, though, and she rules at flying the Millennium Falcon. Kylo Ren also sneers that Han must seem like the father she never had. Here's Redditor JayMoots really bringing this theory home:

"The answer is, it’s because Han and Leia believe their daughter is dead. I'm confident that it will be revealed that Rey, as a young child, was at Luke’s Jedi Academy at the same time as her older brother Ben. When Ben went nuts and slaughtered the other Jedi-in-training, everyone assumed that he killed his sister too. But he didn’t. He kidnapped her and hid her on Jakku. He changed her name to Rey (similar to his new name, Ren) and told her to wait there for him to come back. He had no intention of ever coming back, of course, (as Maz Kanata hinted to Rey in the lightsaber scene) but he also could not bring himself to murder his little sister. The Light was still too strong in him."

Interesting, that might be plausible, as Kylo Ren is believed to me about 10-11 years older than Rey. Also when one of the Imperial officers informs Kylo that FN2187 escaped with the help of a girl, he reacts quite strongly.
There's a lot of little Leia and Han  
ZGiants98 : 1/23/2017 8:11 pm : link
subtleties if you go back and watch TFA specifically looking for them too. Han is obviously disappointed when she turns him down to pilot the Falcon. Leia runs right passed Chewie when Han is killed to hug Rey....

Who knows, though? I actually don't think any of these theories are spoilers because so many completely different ones are plausible.

It would be interesting if it happened, but it's highly unlikely. Snoke's idenitity is one of the big mysteries of the new trilogy, and having the big reveal be that he is a character from a Disney XD cartoon would miss the mark with probably 90% of the people seeing the movie.

We'll see. They really will need to give us a definitive answer in Rebels of where or what happens to characters such as Kanaan, ezra, ahsoka since there are bo more jedi going forward. Also where does Maul end up. I think with the Bendu being introduced as a middle of the force, maybe thats where they are heading. No more Sith and no more jedi but something different in the middle. Ezra is struggling and tempted to go to the dark side just like Kylo is in TFA.

I would point out that Anakin built the lightsaber under Obi-wan's supervision. In the Star Wars VII, when Rey picks up the lightsaber, you hear Obi-wan's voice telling her that she has begun a new journey.

It might stand to reason that while she is almost certainly not Obi-wan's daughter, she could well be a relative, if not granddaughter.

like I'm taking crazy pills. Does nobody else make the connection that cheating death = becoming a force ghost a la Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda?

Or how about impregnating a mother without a father. Could he actually be Anakin?

Not necessarily... Sidious made this statement to Anakin:

Quote:
"Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."


Now, he was using this to influence Anakin, so he could have been lying, but he said that he could save others from death.

I've thought about it being force ghost, too, but if that's the case, who would have taught Anakin, Yoda, and Obi Wan how to do it?

Except that the Darth Revan stuff from the games is way before the current canon like 4,000 years before

I always found it interesting that in A New Hope, Leia affected a British lilt when speaking to Vader and Tarkin in their scenes. Nothing more than an observation, but I wondered why that was done. We know Bail Organa spoke American English, so other than being a Princess/Senator using a more proper or regal affect in the presence of the Empire, seems curious why Leia would do that.

This was completely accidental. Carrie Fisher went to acting school in England in her late teens (partially to get away from her crazy family) and picked up a bit of an English accent. She makes fun of the fact that it comes and goes throughout ANH in her one woman show "wishful Drinking" (at 0:45 of the YouTube clip.)
