  1. I don’t think Ben/Kylo and Rey are brother and sister. As strong as she was with The Force, she would have sensed something. I think she’s Luke’s offspring – shipped away to Jakku in the aftermath of Ben/Kylo’s slaughter of the next gen Jedi.

    I ALSO think Snoke is the true “messiah” of the Dark Side. There’s always 2, right? Emperor Palpatine couldn’t have done all that in 1-6 by himself. Even HE had to have a master to possess such a high level of power like that. And I think we just met him.

    So much hope and possibility for Episode 8. See y’all May 2017!

    1. I’m not sure about Snoke, but I agree about Rey?it struck me that she’d have to be Luke’s daughter to be that strong in the Force, not really knowing what it was to begin with.

      And casting for Finn and Rey? Brilliant. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out.

    2. I was wondering about Snoke. He seems to be the type of character that likes to pull strings–and perhaps the Emperor learned it from him. But Kylo was so torn that he knew the right thing to do and yet didn’t do it.

  2. Good points about Snoke – and we’ll have to see about Rey! I imagine I’ll be revisiting this post and revising after additional viewings. I totally missed Craig — you’d think I could recognize his voice by now!

  3. The wonders of a great franchise and film. We all have different theories that bring about a great number of conversations. Great write up Jacob!
