SPECULATION The final duel and Rey's forceful awakening

I agree. I get the sense that Rey is going to be the "reluctant hero" throughout most of the movie and the final battle sequence where she comes to grips with it. I like your ideas on the final battle and I do think this is the moment when "The Force Awakens" in her and she fully embraced the force. However, I think we will see some subtle force use from her throughout the movie. (not to spoil it for anyone who is not following the spoilers) I won't be specific but we may see some subtle use at other times when she is fighting and flying.

The way you envision the ending fight would definitely be electric and I hope it is close to the way you envision it.

 

Yes and the reluctant hero would be a cool twist on what's been done.

Anakin and Luke were too eager.

I hope/think we get hints of her abilities through out the flick.

Side question-

Am I the only one that thinks it would be cool if in 8 she constructs her Jedi version double Maul saber? Another way to seperate her?

 

I did a thread ages ago concerning a duel between Finn/Rey and Kylo Ren where Finn gets defeated quickly and it's Rey and Kylo going at it. I had the exact same dramatic force pull scene, I think we both got inspiration from the same famous concept art piece. I had Rey losing though and that's the rumored Rey gets captured thing.

 

I don't think Finn will be involved in the final duel of TFA it will be Rey saving Luke from being defeated on a star destroyer by Kylo then it ends in stalemate when the villain escapes & Luke resents Rey for letting Kylo escape Rey then decides to go after Kylo alone in her own craft she manages to shoot him down as he comes out of lightspeed near that snow planet & she pursues him to the planet surface hence the igniting of his lightsaber in the debut trailer what happens next I don't know.

 

I keep reading these speculations about how Kylo is going to defeat Luke and then one of the untrained new characters will defeat Kylo from time to time. I feel like this is a terrible diservice to Luke as the character of who he needs to be. They already did this with Yoda. Yoda was made out to be a badass and fails in both of his major encounters during the movies. I would hope that Luke is just taken out of the equation because of other duties and he doesn't have a battle with Kylo or the battle is interrupted somehow and Luke doesn't get to finish him off. If they simply allow a new character to save Luke then beat the new villain later in the movie then that is really bad writing in my opinion.

 

Yep maybe Kylo will get away in this one until the second movie.

 

Were there not rumors that it was the other way round that Rey gets defeated possibly killed and Finn takes up the sabre and something happens which we are yet to find out about!?

 

I personally think that Finn either won't be force sensitive, or it will be um...well...his Midichlorian count will be much lower...

Which could create an interesting story line down the road where he's tasted the power of the force but he's weak in it, causing him a lot of conflict ion and jealousy of Rey.

 

His connection with the force will be non-existent he will be a regular rebel.

 

Very nice theory. I like the concept of the awakening being within Rey herself. What if instead of Luke, Rey is the one that really brings back the Jedi (or some group based off their vision of balance and peace) and makes it a force that is relevant to the galaxy again?

 

I'd still get chills even if what you say is correct. And that could be what it ends up being: Luke the mentor and vehicle of the knowledge, but with Rey as the champion.

 

Yes Rey will fight Kylo in both Episode 8 and 9. Kylo will cut Rey's hand off and reveal the big shocker to Rey. Rey will rise up with her new cybernetic hand and defeat Kylo in Episode 9. Finn will not be able to fight Kylo. Only Rey is powerful enough.

 

Hmm . . . no, Luke will not need to be saved from being defeated by a Vader-wannabe. Luke is the most bad ass Jedi in the galaxy.

Now . . . come VIII and IX, Luke made need help when it comes to Kylo and Snokes. THAT I could be on board with. Possibly even fail tragically in some way, leaving Rey to take them on herself in IX. That or Luke goes the way of Yoda.

Ep VII - Rey v Kylo
Ep VIII - Rey and Luke v Kylo and Snokes
Ep IX - Rey v Kylo and Snokes

Rey comes full circle and takes Luke's place as the bad ass Jedi in the galaxy.

 

your describing the stuff from making starwars half of which is unconfirmed and the other half is just plain bantha poodoo the gratest storyteller of our generation has not turned the gratest saga in film history into a mindless macguffin chase

 

lets tone it down just a bit on the fire starter remarks.

 

I am still holding out for a turn at the end: where everyone is looking at Kylo Ren as the presumed apprentice of the Sith Lord (still cant make myself call him Snokes), yet all the while Snokes is really focused on Rey. She awakens, but not in the manner in which you would expect. She watches Ren murder her father, and while he is beating the pacifist Finn down, Rey turns to the dark side and slays her brother....Before you get all righteous on me, do not deny the potential of the dark side is not in her: her great uncle had it, her uncle had it, and she has it too. I am thinking how Luke defeated Vader and yet stopped short of killing him and not giving in to the hate. Except instead Rey, who has issues for being separated from her daddy for a lifetime, then reunited long enough to see him murdered at the hands of her brother-- gives into the dark side and finishes Ren off like Anakin killed Dooku. Thus it starts.

 

I am pretty open I don't think she will be a dark sider but that is an interesting twist. It would be her fall and early. Leaving Finn and Poe to deal with her and Snokes for 2 more movies. Though this contradicts rumors that I find more likely than this idea.
