    Well I am after all a Sith.

    I was referring to the general theme of the discussion not something you said yourself.

    Why? Please join in. It's just discussion in the form of aggressive negotiations.

    Bad jokes aside, would love to hear your thoughts. Enlighten me!

    About this Force ghost stuff... To quote Harrison Ford:
    " It's not for real. "

    Here's a good enough reason: Obi-Wan gave the lightsaber to Luke. In TFA, he is "giving" it to Rey. In this way, he functions as a kind of steward of the lightsaber and what it represents.

    I love the idea of Rey Kenobi for various reasons I have argued about over the months since TFA was released, but I don't think this is "evidence" in and of itself of her parentage. There are so many conflicting vague hints in TFA that one could make an argument for just about any lineage for Rey.

    Personally, I find the more recent speculation that she's simply an orphan compelling, in that the Force chose her as its vessel similar to how it chose Anakin, who was also preternaturally gifted and "parentless." In this way she is the spiritual heir to the Skywalker legacy rather than the blood heir like Kylo. I think this conflict between spirit and blood is thematically compelling. I also find compelling the metatextual argument (can't remember which Cantina member posted this recently, apologies) that GL's original treatment for what became TFA may have included an orphan protagonist for the simple reason that he has adopted orphan children and may have wanted to craft a fairytale for them. There are numerous example of directors taking on a new job or wanting to tell a new story for their children -- Colin Trevorrow just said as much the other day.

    But honestly we should really be talking about this in one of the Rey threads rather than the main "news" thread.

    I really enjoyed reading your reply it was very informative but I don't think this explains how Obi-Wan knows her name is Rey.

    My question is not who Rey's parents are but instead how does Obi-Wan know her name is Rey without supposedly having met her before and is that not perhaps an indication to her lineage.

    You are right this discussion is in the wrong thread and has spiralled a bit out of control. I will try again to find an appropriate thread for this discussion.

    Once again thank you for your post it was genuinely interesting. Love the slightly melancholic idea of Rey being an orphan, a force vessel, strengthening the theme of conflict between spirit and blood we have always had in SW.

    Have you guys seen this?
    I'm highly intrigued by the fact that they're going to introduce another bad guy. (I have the feeling that it's something to do with Laura Dern's character, Admiral Holdo.)
    Maybe they'll just release the name of a new villain on Force Friday and at the end of TLJ, it's revealed which of the new characters is said villain.
    Like "Darth Jar Jar is in TLJ" and then it turns out that Rose was a Gungan in disguise all along.;)

    I've always hoped it's Rose. I really want her to be a double agent set up by Phasma in order to take revenge on Finn. However, since it's a new character, I really have no idea how he or she will fit into the story.

    Rose is new.

    Hodolgo might betray them.

    DJ and the Slicer might be on Canto Bight but who runs Canto Bight. Perhaps a cajun feather wear Hutt or the Pikes, or Black Sun figure.

    I get the impression that the character revealed on Force Friday is one hasn't been revealed to us yet.

    it would be interesting if finn has feelings for rose and then finds that she's a traitor to the resistance like how he was a traitor to the first order

    If Ren falls away from the Darkside, then that should help make way for a new villain.

    It's really sad, addiction is a terrible, life-long struggle. I don't know why it was necessary to publish it though, what purpose does it serve except cheap publicity? Let her rest in peace.

    In TCW when Qui Gon's spirit meets Yoda he says he now lives there's not future or past.
    And then he shows to Yoda the future.
    That said, I believe a Force ghost can easely knows what's happening in the present. And not only. So, no mystery.
    --- Double Post Merged, Jun 19, 2017, Original Post Date: Jun 19, 2017 ---
    I'll bet the double agent is ber sister. Something will happen to her and wanting to Know the truth may be what gives Rose motivation. In the end she will find out the truth. That said I don't get if what makes MSW believe there's going to be a new a new bad is an actual rumor from people that knows/worked for TLJ or if it's something Jason is speculating because of the SWFriday "revelation". In the latter case... It may be whatever. Even a new character never seen in the movies but added to the video games. Want to play the battle of Jakku? Here is the new Empire officer you have to face... Just for istance...

    Wait so if a force ghost can see the past present and future, then why couldnt obi-wan simply warn Luke about Ben Solo and Snoke and all?
