    I'm not sure if those magazines really understand what reboot is.

    That could easily be explained as Leia having a false memory, which is a very real thing. An image of her mother constructed in her mind. Obi-wan can easily be explained as him not wanting to give away who he is so readily AND he also says he didn't OWN any droids. He didn't own Artoo or C3-PO. Anakin did.

    maybe they mean REBOOT in a sense of NEW GENERATION

    but yes that can be confusing.

    Huffington Post - J.J. Abrams Wants Moms To Take Their Daughters To See 'Star Wars'
    Although his name is now synonymous with jaw-dropping action set pieces and lens flares, J.J. Abrams first made it big on the small screen with the teen drama "Felicity." Ever since then, strong female characters have been sort of a calling card for Abrams (Sydney Bristow, Kate Austen, Olivia Dunham, etc.) so when it came time to direct "Star...

    There is a video (really just audio) of it on Youtube. The audio has been manipulated probably to avoid the copyright flag and takedown. It's titled
    "Howard Stern Show Monday, November 30, 2015" by user account "Jane Doe".

    Star Wars director faces hype, history in 'Force Awakens'

    LOS ANGELES - The new installment in the Star Wars movie saga opens in theaters this month against a formidable force: the galactic hopes of devoted fans who have waited a decade to revisit their beloved universe of Jedi, droids and lightsabers.

    Can The Force Awakens, the seventh episode in the celebrated sci-fi series, meet those expectations when it debuts in theaters on December 18? "No," said director J.J. Abrams. "How can anything live up to any expectation like that?"

    "There's no way that I can imagine anything touching the magic of what he did," Abrams said, "and yet we all did the best we could to make that happen."

    You guys think this is just JJ being humble? Or doubting himself? Or when he watched the film did it dawn on him that it might not be up to par?

    I can see how some things would be problematic... no Gary Kurtz, no McQuarrie, no Johnston (Johnson?) (guy who designed slave 1)

    considering the shooting schedule says she feels what has happened on Star killer, i'd be very surprised if they said she wasn't.

    You need a shooting schedule to tell you she is force sensitive? What about the movies....
    The point of the article is she did not become a jedi.

    Ok so we've been lead to believe that maybe Kylo Ren is on of the skywalkers but I think that there is another and Kylo Ren is a front to this and is hiding the truth. I think there is a very clear mirroring in every bit of promotional things, General Hux. I believe that Hux is actually Luke's kid and he is sending his armies, including Ren, to find his sister/cousin Rey. My thoughts for this is that Hux has never appeared in any trailers and we only have a few pics of him, almost mirroring Luke. Next is the big one and that is the fact that he is a red head. In the legends comics Luke married a red headed girl named marra jade. I know that doesn't exist now but that doesn't mean these new stories can't draw from it. The big thing is that the director of the film is freaking J J Abrams, the man who went out of his way to make fake rumours about someone else playing Kawn in Star Trek into darkness and film completely new scenes for the trailers so that people wouldn't think Benedict was Kawn. Plus he loves his mystery box of mystery. I truly believe that this is the case and I hope it's actually true. May the force be with you and have a discussion I want to see what you people think.
