    Good evening,

    I received a small magazine in the mail today, called the Costco Connection - it's for members I guess; it has a TFA cover and a story on the new films, called "The Force Returns."

    Two significant things from the article I wanted to share-

    From KK: "The saga films focus on the Skywalker family. The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous 6 films. The Force Awakens, follows ROTJ and continues that generational story."

    Small but BIG revelation. That means that the Skywalkers are the focus of this new trilogy. And their full and probably final story will play out over the new films, which obviously suggests further, that Rey, Finn or Kylo have GOT to be the offspring of somebody from the OT, either Han/Leia or Luke.

    You can't have the Skywalkers be the focus of these new films if the old cast has nothing to do with the new cast bloodline wise.

    Further if anyone still has concerns about KK on any level, this should help ease them-

    "I had George at my beck and call during the transition for 6 months, and I immersed myself as much as I could with many employees who were essentially walking encyclopedias. I tried to get as much as I could from George as well. He said "It's mostly in my head." so I spent as much time as possible picking his brain, and asking him questions to try and understand fundamentially what the values were that George brought to Star Wars, and what values truly represent the saga."

    A short, but very nice read. Nothing else new, no new pics.

    Well this seems to confirm that the Saga (episode) movies will continue to focus on the Skywalker family.

    Now let's wait for those who want an entirely new story and think Skywalker's had its day to claim Costco made some type of editorial error, lol....

    I have been told by a source that...

    Rey is Lukes Daughter

    I didn't want to post this because I have no solid proof and I have a hard time believing it because of what JJ said about specific ethnicities not being needed for the new cast.

    Was it the same guy you spoke to at the party who told you about Jakku and the First Order symbol?

    JJ's comments as they pertained to Rey were, as sacrilegious as it appears it is to say sometimes, probably just PC service (if Rey was intended to be Han and Leia's daughter, as Mizzlewump contends, whose leaks I firmly stand by as much of it is almost too coincidental not to be legit). However, if she was always meant to be Luke's daughter, then who's to say that Luke couldn't have had a child with someone of a different race?

    Point is, since you only know the race of one parent (if indeed she is Luke's daughter), race wouldn't necessarily be an issue.

    Is this source someone you can trust?

    Thanks for sharing all that! Probably the most meaningful leak in weeks.

    Well, "leak" is a term I use loosely - knowing the sometimes pedantic nature of internet forums.

    It's a no brainier that one of the new characters are related to the original three, and we can rule out Poe, because we know his last name already. JJ said there is a specific reason that Finn and Rey haven't had their last names revealed, and for Finn, the answer is that he doesn't have one. He goes by his ID code which eventually evolves into "Finn".
    That leaves us with Rey. She looks like Padme and Leia, dresses like Luke, Anakin, and Shmi, and she is strong with the force. It's obvious to me that she is the one related to a member of the big 3, the question is which members and why have they abandoned her?

    Don't forget, just because nothing about her parentage comes out THIS movie, doesn't mean that it won't come out at all. This is just another piece of evidence supporting the fact that Rey is a Solowalker. It's also a very good read.

    This is what Harrison Ford said about the story.

    post

    Harrison Ford explained his movie sequel philosophy at SDCC 2013 this way:

    post

    To me, using the developments of ROTJ, a natural progression is that Luke passes on what he's learned and that Han and Leia's love has a form of a payoff.

    I feel like if JJ and KK saw the reaction to KK's comments about this movie continuing the skywalker family story they'd be thinking, "that's weird, didn't we already tell them this in teaser 2? I don't know that we could have been any more obvious about it."

    Honestly not trying to be snarky, but this has truly confused me since the release of teaser 2.

    I thought they were pretty obvious about that too... I wouldn't know why people would still be questioning that.

    Probably because they want us the viewer to witness the truth the way Rey is revealed the truth. Even though teaser two seems to suggest Luke is talking to Rey it doesn't actually confirm it. There's still other possibilities that's why I'm not fully sold even though this person said what they said to me. It is the same person from previously details I got but who knows if they know everything exactly. I'll believe it when I see it. Ha.

    Any reason why he/she told you that?Did they say more than just she's Luke's daughter?

    That's it...

    I mean let's face it though. Skywalker is the surname to rule them all. And Rey Skywalker sounds really good.

    So this is indeed the same source? Since his earlier information turned out to be legitimate, do you have any reason to doubt him?

    I don't know and I don't know if everyone who's working on stuff for TFA knows everything about the story.

    Maybe Luke isn't her real father but adopts her. Who knows...
