    You are also forgetting that he was raised by a nobody.

    No, that was just some story told by some guy who was just created as a advance the plot devivce (Snoke). As of now she is just sum coincidence (like the Falcon so conveniently on Jakku).

    With all due respect, how can you say that Rey's origins and connections to the Force are nothing but a story but not say the same about Anakin's?

    In the films we're never given the reason for Anakin's power, we just know that it exists and that it's there. Even with the prophecy of the chosen one, it still doesn't explain why... the pieces exist but they're never put together. The general assumption over the years has become that the Force chose Anakin Skywalker... well actually, really Shmi... to give birth to the chosen one who would bring balance to the Force... BUT considering that's never explicitly stated in the films... it is, by almost literal definition, a concocted story.

    You're forgetting that Anakin and Padme's relationship wasn't much better. I'm no expert, but I don't think keeping it a secret is very healthy either. Considering what their perspective jobs especially from Anakin's point of view.

    The GFFA is a place where everything can happen.
    Lost ones can be found, not redeemable bad guys can be saved from the ultimate darkness (vader), "forbidden" love can happen (Padme-Anakin), lonely noones can become someones (Luke, Rey), God alikes can be wrong (Yoda/Obi about Vader), a FO-Soldier (Finn) can suddenly change sides alongside the one (Poe) that shot down his friend on Jakku, ... an endless list could follow here.

    The GFFA is a weird irritating place, it questions everything, it's an uneasy place to look on it in Detail.

    What is wrong, what is good/evil, what is "real" love, what is family, what is forgiveness?

    I, for myself, wait for a last Episode under roof-topic "..the "war" that end all wars.."
    or should I say "..the LOVE/empathy/forgiveness.. that end all wars.." ?
    Don't know exactly how Terrio and JJ will wind up this path.
    ONE of MANY possibilities could be true compassion and understanding between two marture people, starting from completely different points.
    But we will see it anyway next year. Till then we can just try to treat each others speculativ opinions with respect. :)

    ROOM, Luke was never a nobody. HE WAS THE SON OF A POWERFUL KNIGHT.

    Did he now it before TESB?
    I meant the point where they started (both are not aware of their status ans heritage at the beginning) and where ended (heros).

    In a way these main characters are both noone and everyone!
    SW is muddy - it's somehow about fate and destiny, yet also the opaqueness of the future and personal agency.

    Speaking of muddy, these cave tests are one of my favorite parts of SW.

    The light acknowledges the dark
    And, in a way, the dark enlightens.
    The light sees the "shadow"
    -The true danger lies within.

    Luke sees himself.
    Yoda sees himself.
    Rey sees herself.

    Or as I like to read into it...
    I am my own worst enemy.
    &
    What we do to others, we do to ourselves.

    I love that SW lends legitimacy to completely contradictory views.
    It's why I struggle to understand why people get angry enough to threaten abandoning the story.
    If it's possible to be hurt by a story you've enjoyed that can be read multiple ways,
    just discard the offensive interpretation and pick another!

    Rey and Kylo can be viewed as kindred spirits, arch nemesis, or lovers on opposing sides of a war.
    Pick any one you like or all of the above!
    Separate halves lie in the background,
    while in the foreground two halves come together.

    Even though it's a great scene, it looks so scripted. Daisy Ridley grabbed Driver a little bit too early. #OffTopic

    I can imagine Reylos replying with an incredulous "such a concept exists?" or an indignant "wouldn't you?" :p

    She's also got Force Reflex but can't resist a mid-fight look-back... #opportunist

    Duh, of course. :p But there is a difference between good and bad choreographed. Just compare the PT with the OT. - The whole scene is great btw, just this tiny nitpick throws me off. Haha!

    And I wanted to write how much I like the fact that in the editing process they chose a shot where Daisy looks back for a second to see if she grabbed Adam securely and how this adds to the realism of the scene, just like Adam sliding on the floor. :D
