  1. Very good. Thanks for the review. After I watched the movie yesterday (1/1/16) for the first time, I agree with your thoughts. I’m curious about Rey’s origins as well. Could she be Kylo’s (or Ben, as his dad calls him) twin sister? Another parallel with Luke and Leia. However, Leia gave no indication of knowing Rey when they met or vice versa. That being said, they did have a long hug initially and of course the great final farewell – May the force be with you. And we were told that Luke was training two new people (at least that’s what I recall). Kylo was mentioned by name but not the other person.
    Time will tell.

  2. I agree with your review. The prequels weren’t disasters, they just lacked an element of fun that TFA has. Abrams is a fan and he made this movie for fans! He knew exactly what we wanted to see. He also seemed to be influenced by the Star Wars books that came out after Return of the Jedi where Leia and Han’s son trains with Luke and then betrays him by killing Luke’s wife. I can see this storyline in Han’s face when he hears Luke’s name. You can see the sorrow and regret in Han’s eyes. Anyway, bravo to Abrams!! He brought back the magic and FUN of Star Wars!! I can hardly wait to see the next film!!!
