    Phasma was introduced 2 minutes in, doesn't mean she played a giant part.

    Luke has to factor in (the whole first movie is to find him) however you get 2 hrs 16 min how much of that do you want to dedicate to Luke? If you have 2 protagonist (not including luke or leia ) 3 antagonist (not including kor or snoke). If you dont want him over shadowing rey assume every rey scene won't have luke.

    you get 15 maybe 20 minutes screen time. About what yoda got in empire

    i dunno what Luke's first line in this next movie ((episode: 8)) will be. but i think i know what will happen, when Leia finally see's her brother, for the first time in some 20-odd years.






    Rey brings Luke back home ((to Leia's motel room))... there is a deathly silence, when they enter the room... Leia is reading a book. Leia looks up at Rey & Luke, Luke nods "Hello."... Leia nod's back "Hello."

    Rey said: "Look who i ran into."
    Leia said: "Nobody."
    Luke said: "Hey, i'm not a nobody!"
    Leia said: "Yes, you are a nobody."
    Luke said: "How can you say that!? i'm a Jedi."
    Leia said: "So am i. ((Jedi-wise))"
    Luke said: "You chose FAMILY, over being a Jedi..."
    Leia said: "i had to "choose" family, over being a Jedi... you weren't gonna take care of those kid's."
    Luke said: "What kid's??"
    Leia said: "Your kids!!"
    Luke said: "i have kids?"
    Leia said: "Hell yea, you have kids!"
    Rey said: "STOP!! Just, stop talking to each other!! For five ((5)) minutes. STOP!!"
    Luke said: "Yea, Sis!! We got a kid in the room... better not let her hear her mother fight with her uncle."
    Leia said: "i'm NOT her mother."
    Rey said: "My parents dropped me off at Jakku. i gotta get back there, so that they will know i'm still waiting for them to come back & get me!"
    Leia said: "No! Rey - - i dropped you off at Jakku. Your mother died, and your father didn't want anything to do with you. So, i signed the adoption papers, then dropped you off at Jakku, so that your brother wouldn't find you, easy."
    Rey said: "What??"
    Leia said: "i dropped you off at Jakku. i made you that promise that i would come back for you..."
    Rey said: "Why didn't you come back for me??"
    Leia said: "i couldn't... didn't want you to go to the other side."
    Luke said: "What are you saying??"
    Leia said: "Nothing, Luke. i'm just talking to my adopted daughter."
    Luke said: "Really? Leia, are you alright?"
    Leia said: "Yea, i'm alright... Why?"
    Luke said: "You have never acted like this, before."
    Leia said: "Acted like what?? A mother?"
    Luke said: "Yea."
    Leia said: "i've been a MOTHER for the past - - 32 to 33 years."
    Luke said: "32 to 33 years... that's along time!"
    Leia said: "i know, that's along time."
    Luke said: "What does Han have to say about all of this?"
    Leia said: "Han?? Han who??"
    Luke said: "Your boyfriend, Han Solo... what does he have to say about this??"
    Leia said: "Oh... that Han." Leia pauses, for a second. then, she said: "Han's dead!!"
    Luke said: "WHAT!?!?"
    Leia said: "Yup!! Dead. Ben killed him."
    Luke said: "Who killed him?"
    Leia said: "Our son, Ben Solo..."
    Rey said: "Kylo Renn."
    Luke said: "Oh, the new BAD GUY..."
    Leia said: "Yea... the new BAD GUY!!"

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then, Leia goes back to reading her book. Luke & Rey just sat down, at the table, at the other end of the room. Luke could tell that Leia was upset about something... he didn't know what she was upset about.

    Luke said: "Rey... i have something to tell you."
    Rey said: "What??"
    Luke said: "The FORCE is strong in my family..."
    Leia said: "Shut up, Luke!! That is the one thing i don't wanna hear, again!"
    Luke said: "What??"
    Leia said: "The FORCE is strong in your family... your father has it, you have it, your sister ((me)) has it... and, now: your DAUGHTER has it."
    Luke said: "My DAUGHTER?? Are you sure she is my daughter?"
    Leia said: "That is why i signed the adoption papers... Rey was my niece."
    Rey said: "Kid is still in the room!"
    Leia said: "Yea, we know!"
    Luke said: "Know what??"
    Leia said: "We know that the KID is still in the room."
    Rey said: "Who is my brother??"
    Leia said: "We'll talk about that, some other time."
    Rey said: "What happened to Ben??"
    Luke said: "He went over to the Dark Side of the FORCE... about the same time you where born."
    Rey said: "You guys are brother/sister, right?"
    Luke said: "Yea..... TWINS!!"
    Rey said: "oh, CRAP!! Does this mean, when i get pregnant, i will have twins??"
    Leia said: "You better not get pregnant, anytime soon!"
    Luke said: "i agree with my sister!! People in this GALAXY pass over, during childbirth."
    Leia said: "Padme..."
    Rey said: "Who is Padme??"
    Leia said: "Our mother - - Senator Padme, ((aka)) Queen of Naboo."
    Rey said: "Well, who was your father??"
    Luke said: "Anakin Skywalker."
    Leia said: "Darth Vader."

    To see where Luke is going...I guess it is best to see where he is now and where he has been. After the film first came out I heard some mumbling about where Luke was standing on Skellig Michael; Ack-Too. Haven't heard anything since but I found out on the real island it is in fact a cemetery. Not only a cemetery but he is standing at the grave of two children. Now I know that doesn't have to fit in to the actual plot but... It could be a wife and child perhaps or...? Screenshot_2016-01-10-01-12-2picsay.jpg

    I'll say it again. No simple Yoda relegation for Luke. It is Luke that makes us care about this franchise to start with. If his story doesn't draw us in in the first place, there is no PT, and no Episodes 7,8, and 9. His role shouldn't be truncated because fans of new characters are afraid that they'll be overshadowed. There is an old evil force out there... who can confront and defeat it except for Luke? There is to be a new Jedi Order, who can put that together but Luke? The Jedi have to be trained, who can do that but Luke? Or are we going to resort to holocrons to do all this?

    No... while I don't at all kid myself that there is a passing of the torch that is going to happen, because it has to, not just because that is the eventual story arc of nearly every character of import, but because logistically there is going to be a new generation that identifies with and latches onto the new characters (and subsequently buys their merchandise). I think this can all be accomplished without synthesizing artificial boundaries for Luke's character in order to protect new characters profiles.

    There seems to be a strong segment of the fandom who don't want more force users. I'm assuming that they also don't want the Jedi Order to be re-established or for the KoR to be dark side disciples.

    An idea that seems (at least to me) entirely incongruent with the rest of the established SW universe. I hope it is an idea that does not prevail

    I think there is little chance that it will but that was before TFA paid a bit of a homage to ANH and the OT as a whole. Now, naturally I would like to trust TPTB that TFA was purposefully nostalgic to draw people back into Star Wars before going off in new directions for the rest of the trilogy but I wouldn't put it past them to play it safe by basically doing a rehash of the OT. Slim chance but still a chance.

    I'm hoping it won't be the case, I mean while I enjoyed the effort to provide some continuity in between the films, a lot of people were sour on all the "call backs" in TFA. I didn't think it hurt anything (except for maybe the whole gigantic base with a weak point that could destroy it all). Other than that, I think they struck the right chord with the amount that they went after. But I think this is there chance to grab a whole new generation and retain the existing one, with new stories, new Jedi, new enemies, new capabilities (for both) and new driving factors. I hope they do it.

    I am hoping to see a very powerful Jedi Master who can pull Star Destroyers out of orbit in Episode 8.

    I hope so too. I don't expect them to have no parallels, that's almost impossible with fiction since everything has already been done before, but I do have a checklist that will tell me if they are mimicking the OT too much:

    1. The New Republic is destroyed and the FO rule the galaxy. We then follow the Resistance fighting against the FO. I don't need to point out how repetitive this is.
    2. Luke trains Rey and he eventually dies leaving her the only Jedi.
    3. Rey leaves mid training to save Finn/Poe.
    4. Kylo turns on Snoke at the end of the last film, sacrificing himself to save Rey: I'm not against Kylo being redeemed, I'm very much in favour of it, but I would do it during the next film because it gives us an interesting direction to take his character.
    5. Another Super Weapon: please no.

    I don't think that it'll be "ESB 2: Electric Boogaloo," and I'd be annoyed if it was. I mean there will likely be some callbacks/familiar beats (that's pretty much inevtitable in a franchise like this). But everything that they've been saying points to Rian at least trying some new/different things that we haven't seen before in a SW film.

    He's not going to turn it into a French New Wave arthouse film, it'll still feel like a SW movie. But he'll put his own spin on it I think. But we'll see soon enough. The whole purpose of TFA seemed to be to lure back old fans by reminding them of why they loved SW to begin with, and bring in new fans by showing them why SW became beloved in the first place. And overall, they seem to have succeeded pretty darn well in that regard. But it was essentially a palate-cleanser so that they could then go off in new and different directions moving forward.

    If the slow Rian to do his thing then it (HOPEFULLY) wouldn't be that .

    This is exactly how I view the use of nostalgia in TFA. Hopefully TFA did well enough, in their expectations, so that they feel brave enough to allow their directors/writers to go in new directions.

    I'm ok with a super weapon as long as its something crazy different, even borrow from the Legends content. There are plenty of other ways to show the power of the dark side or the might of the first order. Here are a couple classics

    Sure, I would be fine with super weapons like the eclipse, which I have just googled. In fact I remember posting somewhere that I would have preferred that the super weapon of TFA was a large capital ship that emitted shockwaves powerful enough to destroy the majority of a fleet. That is how the FO could have thrown the NR off balance with something more original than the Death Star and without the increasing waste of planets.

    The use of the super laser lets it be a threat to planetary bases as well as any capital ship. I just think something like that would be a more effective super weapon. You would have to bring a real battle fleet to take it out not just a couple x wings...
