    Christensen will be in flashbacks because Rey is Anakin's reborn.

    That's why she's gifted in mechanics, piloting and incredibly strong with the Force, that's why she's podracing with the Falcon on Jakku which is her purgatory ( sand and loneliness ), that's why the saber called her ( it's her saber ) and ran away form it because she was afraid of what she did with it, that's why Vader don't talk to Kylo anymore, that's why she had to witness a child slaughter. That's why Kenobi spoke in her flashback, he was his master. That's why she had to fight Ben on an icy planet ( aka Ep III fight with Ben on flames ), that's why the saber is flying to her on Starkiller, why Leia hugged her and Luke seemed so emotionnal, he knows absolutely who it is.

    It is Anakin.

    BTW, Obi-Wan speaking in Rey's vision is not in the novelization and was not in the original WGA script either. It looks like something that JJ added a posteriori, perhaps to have Ewan McGregor's in the movie. I wouldn't read too much into that line.

    Where is it stated that jedis don't reincarnate ? Anakin didn't do his mission the way it was meant to be, that's it.
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 2, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 2, 2016 ---
    It's in the movie. Millions people will see the movie, not much will read the novel.

    Why a force ghost can't came back if he's needed by the Force ?

    The Force works in mysterious ways ...

    Obi Wan would have said "From a certain point of view, they're still one with the Force ... "

    BTW, you have to admit that all the other points are right in the money.

    I read that article already. It's a decent idea, but something that will never be done, just like Darth Jar Jar. Also, it references the evil Prequels, and that's a surefire way to get people pissed off. No way it's happening. Not to mention that Anakin is a man, and Rey is a girl. So it can't really be Anakin, but rather more of a The One mentality, an omnipotent force power that just resides in a certain person. Wasn't it a male that called out to Rey before she was taken away in the movie? I cannot remember, but that might discredit an outright repeat of Anakin's birth again.
    If Snoke IS Plageius, this theory will have a lot more merit for me. Otherwise, I will not consider it. Snoke has to be the Plague dude first.

    It was added for a reason, but that fact is interesting. Now I am not so sure of Rey being related to Kenobi anymore, I'm going back to the obvious Luke connection.

    The idea is not that she's Anakin himself, but the avatar of the chosen one.

    I meant that the whole point from The OT and ROTS is force ghost and a ghost can't come back as a physics embodiment as someone else altogether, kind of defeats the purpose , imo. The

    On my point of view, the plot is to survive death with the Force, nobody ever talk about reincarnation in Star Wars.

    Yet.

    Rey as Anakin's reincarnation/avatar totally makes sense. Her piloting and mechanic skills, her suddenly becoming super powerful with the force all scream Anakin to me. If anyone could reincarnate that would be Anakin, to finish what he started, to bring balance to the force. Also Luke went to Achc-To (that name is fricking weird), a planet with the first jedi temple, most likely to study the prophecy of The Chosen One when he learned the hard way his father failed to bring the balance.

    EDIT: Rey being the aspect of Anakin's light side would "rhyme" perfectly with Kylo's Darth Vader worship and there's no better adversary to Snoke (Darth Plagueis) than The Chosen one him/herself.

    The Snoke using Kylo Ren as a vessel theory has a lot of merit (especially if he is Plagueis). Check out the DP thread for more. Luke could be hiding from Snoke because he needs a Skywalker to possess so the darkside doesn't consume his body.

    Kylo(Ben)'s surname is not Skywalker, so Rey should either be Luke's daughter, or Luke/Leia's long time missing or hidden brother's daughter

    That last part is true, but the thing is that she's good at what she does simply because of genetics .

    Works if Rey was a boy but if Luke could get married, she can too and so what happen with the name ?
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 3, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 3, 2016 ---
    We will agree to disagree on that one.

    For my part:
    • Kylo and Hux emerge with a plan to destroy the Resistance.
    • Luke sends Rey on a series of Arthurian trials that teach her the ways of the force. (50% chance she begins the movie on her last trial)
    • Luke reveals he knows Rey, and tells her the story of the lightsaber / Snoke / Jedi Order / Kylo. He knows who she really is, but hides this detail from here, and agrees to train her.
    • Finn recovers and goes on a mission with Poe. (perhaps meeting up with Rey)
    • Love triangle with Rey. (Poe vs. Finn - Rey isn't interested)
    • Rey vs. Kylo part 2.
    Longer shots:
    • Leia is captured (or even killed)
    • The resistance pursues building their own super weapon.
    • Snoke gets involved in the battle between Rey/Kylo (tries to turn Rey)
    • Luke senses Rey will be in trouble in her battle (like Yoda in AOTC) and wards off Kylo (or Snoke)

    I will continue to speculate that in Episode 9, based off of my idea about Snoke possessing Rey, Kylo Ren would have to team up with Finn/Poe or some other guy/girl to kill Snoke, and by extension, Rey will die too. That'll be an interesting twist on the narrative.

    Or Rey, after having killed everyone, for the most part, kills herself to sacrifice herself along with Snoke .
