    Yes we know the Force influences eventes and manifestes itself not only through Jedi or Sith. But if sometimes this notion is not so strong, so clear to the audience (so much so that many just forget about it), maybe it's becouse both OT and PT are mainly focused on personal Jedi/Sith journeys.
    I mean, the so many ways the Force operates it's something we can deduce from the context and many details, but that's not the heart of the story.
    That's the point: what if this time around we'll get an heroine (of course Rey is) inside a context where - at least in the end - the many ways the Force operates will be more evident than before? Where those so many ways are the equivalent of Palpatine's master plan in the PT?

    Going back to Rey's visions, if that's the case, then they have to do not only with her personal life (past, future and probably leneage) and maybe we can or have to seach for additional clues

    They never say when Ben specifically turned to the dark side. We don’t know when he became Kylo Ren even in the Bloodlines story so anything is possible. Leia had no communication with them.

    I think Ben Solo turned on Luke, no one knew that the Jedi academy were destroyed. Snoke was on the hunt for Luke. Luke decides that he can’t look after Rey while being hunted by Snoke and Kylo Ren. So he drops her off at Jakku and goes searching for the Jedi temple.

    Rey was 5 when left on Jakku. Ben turned 6 years before TFA. That means Rey was 13 when Ben turned.

    I think Kylo k
    I feel like Rey and Luke will have a conversation about Kenobi, but that we will not see/hear him. Yoda on the other hand....

    Rey was five when on Jakku but they only say Bloodline was set 6 years before Force Awakens, and they don’t actually say when Ben turned to the dark side because Leia can’t get a hold of him.

    The First Order is not even fully formed 6 years out. There is no mention of Snoke. The book is is setting up that the news of Vader being Leia's dad going public and Ben not knowing the info as a key component to his turn. These factors make it a very small possibility that Ben turned 8 years earlier very small.

    I highly doubt he turned that early, but we do know Snoke was preying on Ben from early on, so he was around. Pablo said there was a specific reason he wasn't mentioned in Bloodlines. Even then the book doesn't provide us Leia's constant thoughts 24/7. So he may have come up "off screen" so to speak. It wouldn't surprise me if he was effecting Bens actions that early.

    Snokes back story is definitely on the horizon. We will probably get some of it in the ST and the rest of it in a novel. I do think he was influencing Ben from a relatively young age but I don't think Ben turned to the Dark Side until later.

    Maybe Snoke is Lando, why is he not mentioned in TFA at all...
    Anyway, I can't imagine Luke not telling leia for years that her son turned against him.
    He might have turned to the dark side secretly though.

    He is definately going to play a big role in the upcoming storyline! (imo)


    Well it has already been hinted at that the reason we will get a 'young Han Solo'-movie,
    probably a Boba Fett-movie, but not yet an Obi Wan-movie (even though Ewan McGregor is practically bouncing off the wall's with motivation to play that role again!), is because he first has an important role to play in the remainder of this ST!

    We'll see...


    Ohw, you are so right!

    I would even like to go as far as to say that I think it also refers to the awakening of the Force itself!

    I think there's alot more to Poe and Finn than has been revealed!

    I'm so geeking out for this...:p

    I think it's possible for "Force Ghost Obi Wan" to know of Rey. Either through the force or through Luke.
