The Sci-Fi Thread

I'm going on Tuesday for Star Wars myself. Am quite excited!

[R.J]

Star Wars was pretty good, though I will admit the entire time I was watching it, I thought they pretty much remade the original. I also have a theory as to who Rey is, or should I say related to.

I sort of agree with you here, but i feel like it was necessary for a restart. I'm excited to see where they go with the story.

I thought they explicitly stated that in the movie?

[Kenners]

I thought they explicitly stated that in the movie?

not that I saw, had the same assumptions going in but when it ended nothing was mentioned.

They strongly hinted in one direction and subtly hinted in another.

No, you don't see it, but apparently a video game may have spoiled it.

Well, I'm confused.
I thought the lineage was clearly stated several times.

I'm going to see it again, so I will pay closer attention.


Edit: never mind. I just realized I'm confusing Rey (the heroine) with Ren (the villain).

[Wobbler]

I saw The Force Awakens on Christmas Eve - it was quite good, and better than I had expected. I'm not excited about another pouty young bad guy, but the other new characters were very good.

I think it's pretty obvious who Rey's father is (since there are only two real possibilities and one makes far more sense than the other), but I have no idea who her mother would be.

Supposedly the game says another word that's entirely unrelated but a jig-saw puzzle reveals who Fin's father may be.

Snoke is no doubt a character who was introduced in a pervious film IMO

He's a pouty skywalker like his uncle and grandpa were.

Ugh. I had hoped that at least some of the new characters would be genuinely *new* and unencumbered. I'll be annoyed if what you're implying turns out to be true.

I hope you are wrong.

It's possible--but then again (and it we're thinking of the same person) it isn't someone that people outside of the diehards are going to remember.

Have to admit that the gungans rocked it in Return of the Jedi

[R.J]

In the game Kylo Ren states "face me ******" though it seems Disney is trying to debunk that. As for the movie, there's 5 parts where it's hinted very strongly as to who Rey is. In saying that, I can't deny the way Han looked at her at times made me question the other heavy hints. I'm pretty sure the next one, much like Empire, will provide the answer to the question.

EDIT : Should also mention that in the books Han and Leia's eldest son also turns to the dark side and it's his older twin sister (by 5 minutes) that is the "chosen one". Although from my understanding, the films are canon and the expanded Universe isn't.

[R.J]

but I have no idea who her mother would be.

This is just my assumption, but I think we saw who could be Rey's mother "in uniform".

[Argo57]

I have no clue what characters and plots you guys are talking about, my parents took my brother and I to see the original release in 1977 to which we fell asleep due to boredom, fast forward to New Years Eve, I took my 12 year old son to see the newest flick and actually enjoyed it, give me a bowl of popcorn, blow shit up on screen and I'm happy.

[Double Dare]

My brother took his son to it and said that he enjoyed it, but it's more of a kid's movie than for adults.
