Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Wor-Gar]

Most probably because Leia knows what Rey is, as does Luke when he sees the lightsaber.

I stand by my theory that Rey is a reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker, one that Luke had been waiting for a long time.

Here's how I think it'll play out. At some point after ROTJ, Anakin's ghost begins to feel drawn back to our world via a child. He tells Luke of this and prepares him for what that could mean for the Rebellion/Resistance. If Snoke got his hands on Rey/Anakin, the Dark Side would have the weapon they needed [again] to take back the galaxy. Instead, Anakin urges Luke to hide the child he's being drawn to, from everyone - even Luke himself so if Snoke captured him he wouldn't be able to pull her identity from his mind. Luke gives the task of hiding her to Lor San Tekka who drops her on an old Sith world (Jakku) and basically is the only person who knows how to find her (and Luke). Prior to vanishing, Anakin's ghost tells Luke they will see each other again and that Luke will know who he is when he sees him (her).

What neither Anakin nor Luke realize is that The Force has its own plans. Rey/Anakin's time on Jakku is penance for the atrocities Vader committed as Vader. And when said penance is done (TFA) its The Force that guides Rey/Anakin back to Luke via Finn, Han, etc.

There are clues to this in Rey's vision at Maz's and her fight with Kylo. "THE FORCE AWAKENS". More like ANAKIN AWAKENS inside Rey.

I think that's way too complicated. Besides, its the blood -- doesn't have to be Anakin's soul... it's his blood line.

I assumed Leia put her to task knowing who she is, but why would Rey go? I thought she was all about going home to Jakku. Without a good reason why she has to get Skywalker, it's just a bit of a logic jump that is punctuated by the whole cast waving goodbye to her when she sets out. It's a bit silly. Needed a moment, between Leia and Rey, where Leia presses a reason why she alone must go. Maybe Leia says: Luke can tell you about your family. That would be enough for her to go. But we should have seen that.

The question is if the reincarnation theory proves to be true, will you stop watching SW movies?

I'll save you a year and answer that for you: No.

 

[pixletwin]

You know me too well.

I don't like the idea. It gives me a "nooooooooo" feeling. But it's all in the execution. We'll see.

 

[jye4ever]

Your Rey/Anakin theory is not the worst thing that could happen, minus the penance angle, although many more think that Snoke is Anakin.

Force works in mysterious ways so maybe this reincarnation stuff could work.

Unfortunately for those that are not liking these ideas I think they might be disappointed because I can see Disney going with these extreme ideas in trying to create a new "I am your father" shocker.

 

[SNIKT1950]

It's all in the execution. We'll see.

That's all I wanted to hear.

Frankly, I never saw it coming until a few viewings of TFA and that interview with KK where she says "We went into VII knowing that the most popular character in the series had died, so what do you do now?"

I think they sat in a board room pitching idea after idea until someone had the balls to ask "what if we COULD use Vader? What if there was a way to bring Vader back and make him the star again?".

We'll know in a year.

 

[Asta]

They're using Vader again, but as a macguffin which also keeps him relevant and centre stage.

However, the Sequel Trilogy itself became irrelevant the moment it threw away previously established storylines.

 

[jye4ever]

After years of searching, why is little orphan Rey chosen to go find the great Luke Skywalker...?

Just because she found the lightsaber? Really? That gives you the job over someone like Leia, a known blood relative.

Did everyone tell her she's Luke's kid off-screen? Filmmaker's wouldn't do that.

Why didn't Leia go to find her brother...? They really only scraped the surface with Leia, making her a 'general', and that's about it; no love from Chewie when Han dies, no task of finding her brother, she couldn't even protect her people (her own ship allowed the villains to track her back to her secret base). Pretty useless general.


And what happened to the whole 'I-have-to-go-back-home' motif that Rey constantly mentioned..?. until suddenly she's assigned the task of bringing Luke back.


It's amazing how good performances and a mostly enjoyable first-viewing can hide a lot of holes.

While I agree with your Leia concerns i'm also thinking back to the OT, while certainly feisty in ANH/ESB but as a military leader in ESB she handled herself well but also didn't do much either.

Wasn't the reincarnation of the one already "leaked"?

I'm pretty sure the one is born and reborn again and again like the avatar, not so much as SKNIT says, I don't remember what I read that made me think "yep, it's going to happen".

I'd continue watching Star Wars, but I already count Disney Star Wars out of canon and it's just fanfic, also, I don't plan on paying to see any SW future movies.

 

[jye4ever]

I spend my money on things far worse than a new SW movie so yeah my ass will be in that theater opening night.

Besides I want my son to experience these movies like I did the OT and Raiders as a kid.

Just as long as GL is kept far away from SW lol.

 

[GasparZizou]

GL would make SW great again.

Never read the leak. My theory precedes it by six months.

Hearing about the leak just further solidified it.

Child! It's the Matrix, not Avatar.



Please make Star Wars great again! I'm not sure it could even be done; there's so many tastes, preferences and directions. It's like the world -- kind of a mess.

I know, I shouldn't expect SW to live up to Avatar

Yeah, oh well, at least we know TFA was not the right direction

Really? But the theory came out like 2 days after TFA

 

[SNIKT1950]

The theory came out like 2 days after TFA

The Reddit leak happened in mid-April. So my theory doesn't precede it by six months but rather four.

Are you this person? https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheorie...force_awakens_theory_rey_is_not_who_we_think/

Either way, I'm pretty sure that's the way it's gonna be, every major movie has been figured out from head to toes lately, we even know what's gonna happen in Ragnarok and Justice League already

Such weird times.

You have nothing to worry about it is in great hands.

He'd build a wall round Disney to keep them contained, and make Disney pay for it.

They have to go back.
