    What is the run time posted? I clicked and got some error message. But I wouldn't be surprised the run time is the same as the last couple of movies. But then again, the distributor could be guessing on the run time, too.

    Edit: Interesting interview today.

    Apparently some guy said Rey was planned to be a Kenobi (skip to 30.00). Sadly it might have been changed.

    I would have thought this movie would be fairly short as ESB is the shortest.

    The guys seem to think it, but it's making more sense to me if she is.

    Interesting! I really hope they didn't change it and the guy was just discouraging on purpose.

    Okay, I'm getting more warm with Rey Kenobi again. But there is still one probleme. What's the conflict for Rey's character if she turns out to be a Kenobi? Rey Skywalker, Solo and Random have all a conflict for her character development.

    Good question. We know J.J decided to push her family stuff aside, but Rian has now taken over and if he did not change anything, I m curious how he will make this work. In the Reylo thread I had some thoughts on it.

    The conflict is she was still abandoned on Jakku.
    If Luke, Han and Leia knew she existed and still left her there on Jakku, why would she trust them in the coming battles?

    Her conflict may not be as personal if she were a Solo or Skywalker, but to be part of a "Legacy" name in Star Wars as important as Kenobi and left to be a poor scavenger....there's conflict in there.

    The only thing missing from this trilogy was a Kenobi and the Starkiller duel is Obi-Wan and Akanin in opposite elements too. No wonder Daisy said she thought it was obvious.

    Rey Skywalker, Solo and even Random (especially if Luke is the one who killed her parents) feels more personal to me. Maybe they could combine my idea of Rey Random and Rey Kenobi. She is a Kenobi but Luke still killed her parents.

    Well Luke's dad killed her grandpa. So there's that. And Ben is named after her grandpa and he worships the guy who killed him.
    I think her being a Kenobi and Luke killed her parents is too soap opera.

    She really doesn't need motivation beyond she was abandoned by people who were supposed to look after her.
    That's tremendous conflict in and of itself.

    Lucas: "Star Wars is a space OPERA."

    That's not what I mean. It would be great if there is a conflict between Luke and Rey. This is needed to have character development. So, Luke has to do something (bad) with her parents.

    If Rey is a Kenobi, they would have to explain how Obi-Wan had a child and what happened with them during the OT.

    He had a love interest. Likely if they had a child, that child would be one of Rey's parents. I am guessing if she is still planned to be a Kenobi, the Obi-Wan movie will explain things.

    Anthony Breznican in Novembre 2016, this guy is a writer for Entertainment Weekly and has contacts at Lucasfilm and exclusivities on the new Star Wars movies:

    "Rebel Force Radio: …And lastly is the rumored Obi-Wan spin-off, something Ewan McGregor has been on the record as saying it’s something that he would be interested in. What do you think the odds are of something like that?


    Anthony Breznican: Um, I have heard rumors that the one reason they haven’t moved sooner on Obi-Wan is that they’re not done with Obi-Wan quite yet…

    RFR: Ohhhh.

    AB: …in the Saga films. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Obi-Wan thing happen beyond Episode IX.

    RFR: Holy cow!

    AB: Which it would have to anyway, because they’re booked up until Episode IX.

    RFR: Of course, yeah, of course.

    AB: So I don’t think that’s controversial to say, but I think that there’s bound to be some reference to Obi-Wan – and I’m not being coy here, this is literally all I know is that [Lucasfilm’s thinking is] “Ehh, if you want to tell an Obi-Wan story, it’s better that it happens after this first trilogy, because things that happen in it can maybe reference The Force Awakens trilogy.”, if that makes any sense. Some of this is sort of like doing CIA spywork, where you get little pieces of information and then you try to connect them. But I think that they’ll probably be some reference to Obi-Wan in the Saga films, and his connection to whatever characters he happens to have a connection with. I’ve already written that I think that Rey has some kind of connection to him – family connection. So if that’s the case, maybe we see a part of that play out in the future Obi-Wan movie. Ewan McGregor would be the perfect age to reprise that [character]…

    RFR: Yes! Right.

    AB: …So he seems game to do it, and I think [the movie] hasn’t been one they’ve greenlit just yet, but partly because they’re still shaping that story. So we’ll see. I think it’s – again – kind of a no-brainer."
