Star Wars The Force Awakens Spoiler Thread

[Kraven251]

No doubt in my mind that Rey is Luke's kid. If you look at Kylo Ren he is just a kid, he throws temper tantrums. As for Rey or even Finn standing toe to toe with Kylo Ren, they didn't. Kylo Ren had taken a direct hit from a bowcaster, and was still standing. He was fighting through incredible pain and damage. Finn managed to hurt him more, then and only then did a fledgling Force user who happened to be very emotional and pissed off went ape shit on him. The fact she didn't kill him in that weakened state goes pretty far to his abilities especially since she definitely knew how to fight. Combine that with the fact he was trying not to kill her as he had it in his mind he could turn her etc.

Overall I liked the film, from watching two trailers I had already assumed that Han was going to die, the bad guy was either a Han/Leia child or Luke's kid and obviously the same for the protagonist. This is a fairly formulaic movie and the First Order is the embodiment of the original Empire on steroids, combine that with Abrams not wanting to get a horrible backlash as he did with the Star Trek franchise, I feel he did a remarkable job with the movie. This sets up the next two quite well, as long as they stop making big planet killing weapons the primary focus of the films.

No Darth moniker as he had not yet completed his training, that is my guess.
