I saw it last night. Never did hear the Obiwon dialog. Was it right before she had the vision of Kylo Ren?

When Ren reads Rey's mind he mentions her dream of an island in the ocean (like the one where she finds luke). I think they are setting her up to be Lukes kid, although I might prefer Obiwon.

My son's comment about Kylo Ren: " He was a lot cooler before he took the mask off". Well said.

Overall I liked it.

I believe it was part of the montage of things heard when she touched the saber. I didn't all of it at the time, either, but I've read that since seeing the film early on.

The most chilling part was the original Obi-Wan Alec Guinness saying "Rey". Once you hear it, you can't unhear it lol. It's pretty cool.

There's also a part shortly after where Ewan McGreggor says something like "her first steps", etc.

‘Star Wars’ Rey: Theory Claims To Know Who She Is, And It Will Floor You
by: Aric Mitchell
December 21, 2015

The Star Wars Rey character (played by Daisy Ridley) is undoubtedly a fan favorite following The Force Awakens’ record-breaking opening weekend box office.

Sexists who didn’t believe that a female lead could carry the latest installment to record-breaking numbers were quickly proven wrong when the film grossed a worldwide take of $517 million in its first two and a half days, according to Box Office Mojo.

But aside from Ridley giving an excellent performance, her character has left many fans intrigued.

This article is about to deliver some heavy spoilers from The Force Awakens, so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, stop reading and bookmark this for later.

Now that the obligatory warning is out of the way, it’s time to talk about whom the Star Wars Rey character really is.


At first, fans expected an Expanded Universe rehash and that Rey would in reality be the sister of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the daughter of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher).

While Solo does appear to sense some familiarities in Rey as he gets to know her, there isn’t a sense he feels that father-child connection in the way he does to Ren. Leia’s interactions with Rey are even more distant.

By the end of the film, it was pretty apparent Rey was not their child. Luke Skywalker, on the other hand, is another story.

It’s possible Luke fell in love with someone after Return of the Jedi and fathered a daughter. However, that, too, seems improbable the more you think about it.

Luke ultimately fails to reestablish the Jedi order, but prior to that failure, it was clear he was very much committed to it. That means no love, no hate, etc.

From the unsettling flashback Rey experiences when she first lays eyes on Luke’s, which is in reality Anakin’s, lightsaber, it is clear hers and Luke’s paths have crossed before, when she was very young.

If that wasn’t enough, there is something of the Force Luke seems to recognize in the Star Wars Rey character in the film’s final shot.

But the idea she is Rey Skywalker, daughter of Luke, is about as unlikely as her being Rey Solo.

And that’s where the Star Wars Rey character really gets interesting.

If she isn’t a Solo and she isn’t Luke’s daughter, yet she possesses all these amazing Jedi powers, then who could she be?

Since fans have been told the Star Wars saga will always revolve around the Skywalker family, according to SlashFilm, it’s pretty clear she bears some relation to Luke and Leia, but not as their offspring.

To understand the full connection, it’s important for Star Wars fans to go back further to Anakin Skywalker himself.

What do we know about Anakin?

For starters, he has no father. The prequels reveal he is very much an anomaly in the Force, in much the same way Christians point to Jesus as being The Chosen One, born of a Virgin.

We also know that Anakin had twins — Luke and Leia — and “died” shortly thereafter, giving into his hate and becoming Darth Vader. We also know Vader is a strong presence in this new trilogy.

Kylo Ren worships him as some kind of deity, almost as if he doesn’t believe Vader is gone for good — that he will one day come back and reveal himself to Ren in the same way Christ revealed himself to the apostles after his resurrection.

When Ren tries to control Rey, he finds that he can’t, thus realizing the full extent of her power. Still, he doesn’t fully understand who Rey is. But there is a feeling she is the one he’s been waiting for, which is explicitly spelled out in the final lightsaber duel.

Just before Rey turns the tables on him, Ren speaks of her great power and offers to train her. He clearly feels a deeper connection to her than the one he feels toward Supreme Leader Snoke.

He believes that Rey is the one who can help him “finish what you started,” a line he speaks to Vader’s charred mask earlier in the film.

What did Vader initially want with Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy? He wanted Luke to come to the Dark Side, to strike down the Emperor, so they could rule the galaxy together as father and son.

By now, you probably know where this is going.

The Star Wars Rey character is not a new character at all. She is not the biological daughter of Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-wan Kenobi, or Anakin Skywalker.

She is Anakin Skywalker.

Why else would she have powers greater than Luke and Ren and everyone else?

Luke doesn’t have anywhere close to the intense reaction in A New Hope that Rey does in The Force Awakens when seeing Anakin’s Jedi lightsaber for the first time.

He even picks it up and waves it around with no reaction whatsoever. Not so for Rey.

In her vision there is darkness and light, pain, anger, hatred, the sense of abandonment Anakin felt as a boy and later as a man when Obi-wan struck him down, thus pushing him fully into his hatred.

The Star Wars Rey character, in that scene, is awakening to the fact she possesses all the same powers Anakin did, and she is terrified by it because she knows the history surrounding that weapon.

She has felt it before. All of it.

The wonderful thing about The Force Awakens is that it does such an incredible job with reversals. The Han-Ren storyline is the inverse of the Luke-Darth thread in Return of the Jedi.

Luke training Rey, especially if she turns out to be Anakin Skywalker, would be another reversal, and it would fuel Ren’s jealousy and hatred toward Luke even more.

It would also present a moral conundrum for Rey/Anakin as she struggles to come to terms with whom she wishes to be — the Darkness or the Light?

If she is Anakin reborn, she’ll have to decide between her grandson (Ren) and her son (Luke), two men bound by blood, vying for the soul of the most powerful life form to ever come out of the Force.

Rey being Anakin would also use reincarnation like The Phantom Menace uses the Virgin Birth — in a unique, one-off way. In other words, neither has ever happened to another character in the Star Wars Universe. When they do happen, they involve the same character.

Ultimately, it would make the new trilogy be about the ultimate redemption of Anakin Skywalker — his full journey back to the Light. Humanity restored.

It fits. It’s compelling. It would be special to one character — Anakin/Vader.

It makes a heck of a lot more sense than the Star Wars Rey character being the daughter of Luke, Han, Leia, or Obi-wan Kenobi.

And most people wouldn’t see it coming.

It's an... uh... interesting idea. I'm not sure how you get new fans to wrap their minds around it though, seems like the only way to really understand it would be to have decent knowledge of the whole series. I feel like it's a concept that could easily get lost on a general audience member.

I personally hope that Rey is from some random family in the galaxy, that maybe trained with Luke and Ben Solo before he turned to Kylo Ren.

That voice-over is cut from different parts of her in-film dialogue. We now know that most of that is her talking to Finn about wanting to run away.

The Physics Behind the Starkiller Base in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

DWARF STAR


The new episode in the Star Wars franchise was released last week to much fanfare. I was there and loved every minute of it. Thus far, the film has broken records and made millions around the globe. It is dominating the theaters and will continue to do so for a while.

As I watched the new addition to the Star Wars universe, I found one thing to be so awesome that I could not help but want to write something about it. Therefore, I want to discuss the physics behind the Starkiller base. I will state upfront that I will do my best to not put out any plot spoilers. I will just discuss that the base exists in the movie and physics that makes it a challenge. I will not discuss plot lines or anything else. If I do spoil anything, then you have my sincerest apologizes, but this thing is awesome!

Anyway, besides breaking records in ticket sales and merchandising (no surprise for Disney), Star Wars: The Force Awakens has appeared to have also broken the laws of physics. The Starkiller base is an ice planet that has been converted into "the ultimate power in the universe" by the First Order. Overall, it can be considered to be the Death Star on steroids in both size and power. As with the Death Star, the base has the ability to destroy planets with immense jets of plasma that are shot from the core of the planet. The question becomes where does this plasma power come from? The answer is quite simple; the planet steals the power and plasma from a near by star. This action of eating a star essentially "charges up" the super-weapon, which means the doom for any planet that is in the First Order's way.

Now, a star is a hydrodynamic ball of heated plasma (charged gases) that has incredible size, mass, and heat. Therefore, when the Starkiller base absorbs one it must have to adjust for the immense heat and gravity that is being stored. Now, in the movie they refer to the absorbed star as the Sun (kind of strange). Therefore, I will compare it to our local star and the ice planet to the Earth.

In order to get the star, the first thing that needs to be done is that you have to compress the star to fit in whatever is being used to contain it. Assuming that this is a container the size of the planet's core, you have to take a ball of hot gas about 7x10^8 m in radius and shrink it to about 3.5 x 10^6 m (about the size of Earth's core). This would be quite the engineering feat. It is not exactly the size of the Schwarzschild radius for the Sun, which is the limit where the sun becomes a black hole, but it is still small. Since the mass of the Sun is about 2.0 x 10^30 kg and given the Schwarzschild radius is

R_sch = 2GM / c^2,

where G is Newton's gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Sun, and c is the speed of light, the Sun can be compressed into a ball about 3000 m in radius before becoming a black hole. Therefore, while it is not a black hole, it would still make for a pretty dense star.

Okay, so this may be an issue. However, a larger problem is that the mass of the Sun would increase the acceleration due to gravity by a factor of about 300000. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, while the Sun's gravitational acceleration is about 300 m/s^2 at its surface. Therefore, at the surface of the Earth-sized planet, the added mass would increase the gravitational acceleration to 3.2 x 10^6 m/s^2, which will turn you into mush! This is a good approximation, since the Starkiller base is on an Earth-like planet that seems to be a bit smaller than Earth itself.

Therefore, it is not that feasible that they are just containing a star in the core of the planet. To do this, they would need a confinement field to keep the star contained and an anti-gravity generator to keep the surface gravity at a comfortable level. Being that the amount of energy needed for containment would probably be close to the amount energy emitted from the star itself, it is unlikely that it will work. If you disagree, then built your own Starkiller base and prove me wrong. Furthermore, since they are in the same universe and just in a galaxy a long time ago and far far away, the law of physics should be equivalent, and given that there is no experimental or theoretical evidence of anti-gravity, the second factor is a sticking point as well.

How about converting the mass of the star into pure energy? Well, that would make the situation really hot. They did use an ice planet, but there are trees on it so it is not exactly Hoth. So, how much heat are we talking about? Considering the Sun's surface temperature is about 6000 K and it has a core temperature over 15 million K with its power output at around 3.86 x 10^26 Watts (Joules per second), it is going to make for some serious global warming! Overall, whatever is containing the star will have to withstand some pretty high temperatures. Since steel melts at 1800 K, whatever the base is constructed from must be some superalloy and, no, adamantium won't work either. It melts at 4400 K. Although, there are new materials being discovered all the time. The highest melting point thus far is a material made from hafnium, nitrogen and carbon that has a melting point of over 7000 K.

Well, we also have not included the energy from converting the mass of star into pure energy. The energy added from the mass itself adds another 2 x 10^47 J of energy. Assuming a strict E = mc^2 conversion. If you compare that to the largest tested hydrogen bomb (2 x 10^17 J), it is highly unlikely the planet and any containment field could hold that.

Overall, the Starkiller base definitely has the power to destroy planets and whole solar systems. However, scientifically, it would be hard to contain. Therefore, if you lose containment on the base, then you the base and planet would be consumed by the star! This is why I love science fiction and Star Wars. The ideas that are put forth may be out of this universe, but it makes for some very good story telling.

What do we know about Snoke? Could Rey be his offspring?

‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ pushed back to December 2017

Memorial Day opening scrapped as Christmas is becoming ‘Star Wars’ season

By: Ben Fritz

Disney‘s plans to own Memorial Day with its “Star Wars” movies have been pushed back.

The studio said Tuesday that 2017’s sequel “Star Wars: Episode VIII” has been delayed from a previously scheduled May 26 — Memorial Day weekend — to Dec. 15.

That will make it the third consecutive “Star Wars” movie released just before Christmas, following the recent blockbuster hit “The Force Awakens” and “Rogue One,” which is due out later this year.

The first six “Star Wars” movies were all released on or one week before Memorial Day weekend. “The Force Awakens” was originally expected to come out in the summer of 2015 before Disney DIS, -1.52% delayed it to allow director J.J. Abrams more time for script work and production. The studio did not give a reason that it pushed back “Episode VIII,” but the move will give director Rian Johnson seven more months to put together his movie and a new release date that has already proved to work for the franchise. “The Force Awakens” has made a record $861.3 million in the U.S. and Canada since being released Dec. 18, according to Box Office Mojo.

A spinoff about the early days of Han Solo is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend of 2018, and subsequent follow-ups are expected to be released on that date, although Disney has not scheduled them.

Star Wars: Rogue One Main Cast Costumes On Display At Toy Fair

Now that the latest film in the Star Wars franchise has been released and the general fervor surrounding the long-awaited return to a galaxy far, far away has abated a little bit, fans of the franchise are already eagerly anticipating the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which will stand as the first anthology film to see release come December 2016. Thus far, there have only been a number of rumors regarding the film’s central protagonists, though it is known at this time that the main narrative will revolve around the Rebel Alliance’s efforts to secure the plans for the first Death Star (prior to the events of the original 1977 Star Wars film).

Currently, it is believed that the film will feature such fan-favorite characters as Darth Vader, and perhaps even Grand Moff Tarkin. However, the latest glimpse at the film will be sure to turn a few heads hoping to see more official movie merchandise.

As reported by EW, the main cast costumes from the new film have been recently unveiled and put on display at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, where many Star Wars fans have already taken to Twitter to post pictures of the display cases for all the world to see. Again, there is little to go on in regards to utility of purpose or individual design that would suggest any distinctive character features of the protagonists who will ultimately don these costumes on film, but the fact that they can now be scrutinized in further detail is certainly something to get excited about.

A host of photos from the Rogue One set have already made their way online, and as such fans of director Gareth Edwards’ upcoming film have likely already formed their own opinions regarding where Rogue One may yet take the seminal science-fiction franchise. This latest reveal of the costumes that will outfit the main cast of characters should provide further fodder for eager viewers to ponder leading up to the film’s final release in theaters towards the end of this year.

Until the first trailer for Rogue One becomes officially available online, Star Wars aficionados will just have to wait for further word from the set of Edwards’ movie – however long that may take. Until then, Jedi Knights the world over can continue to bask in the afterglow of The Force Awakens, and sleep well knowing that the force has indeed been awoken in the hearts and minds of moviegoers everywhere.

Rogue One May Include a Young Han Solo Cameo

Star Wars: Episode 7 – The Force Awakens is now in theaters, and will be followed by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16th, 2016, Star Wars: Episode 8 on December 15th, 2017, and the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25th, 2018. Star Wars: Episode 9 is expected to reach theaters in 2019, followed by the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2020.

A host of photos from the Rogue One set have already made their way online, and as such fans of director Gareth Edwards’ upcoming film have likely already formed their own opinions regarding where Rogue One may yet take the seminal science-fiction franchise. This latest reveal of the costumes that will outfit the main cast of characters should provide further fodder for eager viewers to ponder leading up to the film’s final release in theaters towards the end of this year.

Until the first trailer for Rogue One becomes officially available online, Star Wars aficionados will just have to wait for further word from the set of Edwards’ movie – however long that may take. Until then, Jedi Knights the world over can continue to bask in the afterglow of The Force Awakens, and sleep well knowing that the force has indeed been awoken in the hearts and minds of moviegoers everywhere.

Rogue One May Include a Young Han Solo Cameo

Star Wars: Episode 7 – The Force Awakens is now in theaters, and will be followed by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16th, 2016, Star Wars: Episode 8 on December 15th, 2017, and the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25th, 2018. Star Wars: Episode 9 is expected to reach theaters in 2019, followed by the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2020.

Not sure how I feel about the upcoming Anthology Star Wars movies. The prospect of seeing Disney flesh out their new canon is exciting, but every additional movie outside the new trilogy dilutes the brand. The reason that the originals stand as classics is because, quite simply, there were only three of them. A canon was established firmly enough to pique the interest, but the content saturation was kept at a level where fans still had room to imagine the untouched spaces between and around the canon. Rogue One will probably make back its budget with plenty left over, but other than that its just a brief distraction while fans wait for Episode VIII.
