Plot twists may challenge what we know about PT and OT?

We must by now have all been hearing and reading about plot twists and surprises for the ST.

From what John Boyega has been saying about his character, Finn is not all that he seems and John thinks anyone guessing what that might be is dead wrong.

With all this in mind I am very optimistic that the force awakens along with the rest of trilogy will not be derivative of the OT. I have talked about this extensively in previous threads if you care to read them. To me it promises to be a movie and a trilogy created with a vision to be new and take the skywalker saga and the star wars universe in unexpected and unpredictable directions.

Along with this mystery and promise of plot twists and surprises I have another thought to what Disney/Lucasfilm might have up their sleeve. That the surprises and plot twists might not be exclusively for the ST but might also have repercussions on the previous two trilogies too.

In essence things we thought we knew about Anakin/Vader, Obi Wan, yoda, Luke, Han, Leia ect might not be entirely how it actually turns out to be. It might be only one or two of those characters that new revelations are about or of course none of the above.

As there were revelations about the OT in the PT, it stands to reason that the ST will serve as a vehicle to tell new stories and reveal things we didn't know about the OT and maybe the PT too.

Like the scene in a new hope when Obi Wan tells Luke that Vader killed his father maybe there are other half truths or downright lies about the previous trilogies also.

I like the idea as star wars fans of our knowledge of the saga being put into question. I like the idea of a big shake up in the whole story or turning what we thought we knew about a character upside down. That could excite us and if anything reinvigorate the stories of the previous two trilogies and make us want to watch them again but from a different/certain point of view.

Of course if that does happen and it's done well then great, I'm up for that but tampering with pre-existing material could be disastrous if not handled correctly.

People in general seem to want to see something entirely new in the ST but maybe that has limits?

If you think it's an interesting idea or you have other thoughts on how to expand on what I've addressed then I'd be very interested to know what you think about it. Equally if you think it's a bad idea to mess with the story thus far and potentially ruin the skywalker story forever then I'd be very interested to read your comments.

 

I'm actually wondering if his stormtrooper identity is fake and not as some have suggested that he is sent from the first order as a spy.

 

So in other words it's a maybe. Ok I'll add that to the voting options. Thanks.
