    I've made a few discoveries and have a few theories after watching the Blu-Ray that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere. If they have, I apologize. I don't live on the forums and only post when I have something to say.

    1. Rey fixes the broken gunner position after she levels out and flies away from the ship wreckage. You can actually hear the gun hitting metal and clicking back into position. I never noticed it until the Blu-Ray.

    2. I think Chewie has a crush on Rey, just based on that last look he gives her before they fly to Ach-to.

    3. The acting of the X-Wing pilots was great. So much better than the Naboo fighter pilots.

    4. The whole X-wing battle above Starkiller is rich in detail. Just watching it over and over you see new details every time.

    5. Rey takes down a number of trees during the Lightsaber battle. I thought it was all Kylo in the theaters.

    6. The way Rey takes the part out of the downed Star Destroyer mirrors the way she takes the fuse out of the control area that controls the doors to allow Han and Chewie into the oscillator chamber.

    Theories

    1. I think not only does Rey have an awakening, but so does Kylo Ren. He has an awaken into the dark side after killing Han. Before then, he was just tapping into his natural abilities. I think this is why Snoke says its time to finish his training. I also think there has been an awakening of light in Kylo Ren and dark in Rey. I also think they eventually represent the balance between them. Does this mean Luke becomes the "Father" a la Mortis? With Kylo as the son and Rey as the daughter?

    2. If Snoke has been around for a long time, why didn't Palpatine try to eliminate him? My feeling is Snoke subscribes to the dark side, but not Sith. He stayed out in the unknown regions, where the dark side was said to get its power. The Empire retreats out there and Snoke becomes its figurehead when he forms the First Order and representative in the only going political Cold War between the First Order and Republic. The First Order of the Dark Side.

    3. I don't think Rey is a Skywalker or Anakin reincarnated. Maybe a Kenobi or the daughter of Hera and Kanan (probably not, but boy wouldn't that be fun)? But I think more and more that Ben is the Skywalker of the sequel trilogy.

    Rey is either Skywalker or Palpatine.

    I don't think its that simple. I think she's more of a nobody if I had to guess.

    There's one detail I learned from watching the new iTunes featurette on the costumes. While I already knew that Rey's googles were taken from a Stormtrooper's helmet, I didn't notice one amazing bit of continuity: the lenses are green.

    In case you didn't know, but the lenses in OT Stormtrooper armor are actually green, it is just difficult to see. Same with Rey's goggles.
    I kriffing love this movie.
    Who doesn't have a crush on Rey?
