Yep. I came away thinking "Poe Dameron is the product of someone watching the original trilogy and thinking, 'Wedge Antilles is awesome, he should have been a bigger character.'"Poe = Wedge
I will be stunned if Rey isn't Luke's daughter, to be honest. "This was Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, and his father before him. And now, it's calling to you."Overall a fantastic movie. I need additional viewings to fully digest what I just saw.
A few open questions I have:
Is Kylo Ren dead? I mean, he's pretty beat up and the Starkiller base exploded. I'm assuming General Hux picked him up as Snoke instructed before it blew.
Who are Rey's parents? I mean, it has to be Luke, right? Or is she Han and Leia's i.e. Kylo's sister? My $ is on Luke (with the saber calling to her, etc). And why was she abandoned in Jakku?
What's Snoke's deal? Obviously a big cloud of mystery around his character.
What prompted R2 to come to life with the other part of the map? Was it the presence of Rey?
Are Finn and Rey an item now?
Also...interesting that there was no fanfare b4 the star wars appeared on screen...silence during the Lucasfilm logo.
I also didn't notice the use of "wipes" during the movie, a stylistic choice used for every SW film to date.
Cant believe how much i liked finn. I was literally missing dialogue from laughing at his "im in charge now! Im in charge now! IM IN CHARGE NOW!"
"Take it down a bit"
Also the "we'll use the force" hilarious
I would be stunned as jek said about if rey is not luke's daughter.
Kylo ren will be the main antagonist moving forward, has to be.
I'd chalk that up to the fact that Lucas was pandering to kids with his "humor." JJ doesn't have that issue.I was surprised how funny it was. The original trilogy had some great one liners, but we all saw how easy it is fumble comic relief in movies like this (cough Jar Jar cough). They hit the sweet spot in this one.

Very enjoyable movie.
My money's on Rey being Ren's sister.
Exactly. They fully, surprisingly, and quickly addressed who Kylo Ren's parents were. I just can't imagine Leia forgetting she had a daughter, or them not even acknowledging it. The speed with which she harnessed the force and the way Luke's lightsaber responded to her, I just cannot fathom Luke not being her dad.That was my thought going into the movie, but the fact that Han and Leia remember their son but don't seem to remember a daughter kinda stuck a fork in that theory for me. At this point, I think being Luke's child or simply a child born out of the Force is more likely.
