Intro page from the "Before the Awakening" book. The Rey line seems to very strongly hint at Rey not being her real name. I know that the writing in Aurabesh on her X-Wing helmet spelled out "Raeh" as well. Looking like Kira may be a real thing.

I know his name wasn't on the posters and other promotional material. Similar posters for the Star Trek reboot still gave credit to Gene Roddenberry for franchise creation.

Gene isn't the one doing interviews and making himself look like a douche.

So the Screenplay was given to the writer's guild and

According to the script, the planet on which Rey (Daisy Ridley) meets Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) during the film's final moments is called "Ahch-to" and is said to feature a "pristine and mighty" ocean that is "dotted with random, beautiful, mountainous black rock islands," as well as "countless green trees." Not much is known about the planet, but /Film notes that Ahch-to is Hebrew for brother, which may be a clue as to Rey's relation to Luke.

The screenplay also makes it clear that Luke is well aware of who Rey is, saying Skywalker "doesn't need to ask her who she is, or what she is doing here." It also describes Hamill's character has having "kindness in his eyes" despite the "tortured" feelings within.


The vision Rey has when first touching Luke's lightsaber is also detailed, confirming that Cloud City is shown in the opening flashes. Additionally, the script notes that the scene in which Luke is touching R2-D2 is indeed during the attack on his new Jedi Academy.

Additionally, the script confirms that Rey was left in the care of Unbar Plutt (Simon Pegg) when she was abandoned as a child on Jaku, saying: "Unkar Plutt's meaty hand holds her thin arm" while the starship that brought her there flies off "towards the desert sun."

Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is also further detailed in the screenplay, which notes that Ren is "horrified" and "somehow weakened" when he kills his father Han Solo. Additionally the novelization confirms that Snoke informs Ren that Darth Vader's only weakness was the love he had for Luke, and that was the reason the dark side ultimately fell

The script also emphasizes the fear felt within Ren during his battle with Rey, noting Ridley's character nearly killed him before she realized she was standing "on a greater edge than even the cliff - the edge of the dark side." As such, it's clear Rey also feels the pull of the dark side. In fact, the novelization says she hears an "amorphous" voice telling her kill Ren, which, according to the audio book, appears to be Supreme Leader Snoke.

How in the fuck could she be his sister? It probably refers to who Luke is more than anything about his relationship with Rey.

During the flashes on the second watch, I noticed you could clearly see who was taking Rey away. The rest of it was kind of hard to make out when you have a bunch of kids and shit going on.

Well yeah, that is fairly obvious since Rey is 19 years old....

Yeah, i know. The article says the name meaning brother "could be a clue to Reys relationship to Luke" and maybe it's just late or something but I don't get it.

I think the writer is just dumb. He literally has the same character spelled two different ways in the same sentence. Crack shot journalism

I think the best thing would have been if George Lucas never would have made any prequels or sequels to the original trilogy. There was no more story left to tell. He did it perfectly with three movies. Homer never wrote The Odyssey part 2, Melville never wrote Moby Dick 2: The Revenge, Shakespeare never wrote Romeo and Juliet: The Capulet's Return. People would have been pissed that there was no more to the story, but at least the original story wouldn't have been completely turned into a steaming pile of dog shit.

Just got back from seeing this, and Christ, this was a fucking Star Wars movie. I mean, they really hit the feel of the original trilogy in a way that the prequels flew wildly wide of. If I really had to, I suppose I could find nitpicky shit to criticize, but fuck it, this was good.

Technically, the Odysseywaspart two; it's essentially a sequel to the Iliad. /pedantic

More Star Wars movies were an inevitability. Nothing that popular, with so many people wanting more and willing to pay for it, and so many people wanting to fulfill that demand and make themselves even richer doing it, is going to hold out against demand forever. Even if Lucas had refrained from making the prequels and refused to sell the rights, studios would have bombarded his heir with massive offers the moment he died. And if that heir had for some reason held out, then the same would have happened to the next one. And so forth. Eventually someone would have found a way to make it happen.

Even if his heirs went all Christoper Tolkien about Lucas's work it will eventually pass into public domain. Thankfully it didn't come to that.

How about Anakin's sister. Sister in that she is another force born child. Is that more groan worthy?

Kira was her name when they announced the movie and I have no idea why they changed it. She kinda look like Keira knighley they might have been trying to avoid lawsuit or might be a surprise. Kira / Keira mean dark/black lord in Irish and mean beam of light in Sanskrit or glittering in Japanese. The name often linked dark in the west and light in the east. It give that name a east/west, bright/dark and balancing yin/yang quality.

I googled it.

And don't forget, one of Kiera Knightly's first roles was in Phantom Menace.

She played one of Amadala's decoys.
