SPECULATION Who's Who in The Force Awakens?

I kind of like the idea of Adam Driver being Han's son. Solo being the man he is, would go far over the edge trying to save him, having the resorces, connections and the personalety to do so.

Having John B's carracter going from Stormtrooper to Padawan is easy to imagine. Luke wanted to go to the academy himself inn Ep IV, but fate had other plans for him. Having Johns carracter actually making it that far before he sees the right path makes sence, and makes things more complicated and exiting.

 

I am going to throw a curve ball and say that Ms. Ridley is playing none other than Luke's daughter. He meets a lady friend after the events of Jedi and the two fall in love and have a daughter. Tragically the mother is slain by the Sith and Luke takes his daughter into hiding with him. In order to protect her from this new threat, He begins to train her in the ways of the force for a debatable amount of time. She only trains for a short duration and does not become a full fledge Jedi Apprentice. However the Sith locate the duo and send a strike force to capture or kill them. Luke makes a terrible sacrifice and sends his daughter to a backwater planet where she can remain hidden from the Sith. Luke sets out to get to the bottom of the resurgent sith but he is never heard from again.

 

Im having trouble seeing Han and Leia being a steady couple. Han isn`t that guy who settles down and live happy ever after. He would panic if he got a kid, and fly away inn the Falcon, paying some kind of parental contribution to Leia and their kid from that point on. But Han would keep an eye on them, and turn up if something bad happened to them, I`ll give him that. Maybe John Boyega is Leia`s and Landos son. That would be very excellent and extremely cool.

 

LOL that would be so ballsy. Maybe Han and Leia have been split at the beginning of the film and it's hinted that JB is in fact the love child of Lando and that's the reason why.

 

I think Adam Driver is playing one of Luke's first apprentices who fell to the Dark side. Luke is trying to save his old apprentice at the beginning and that's why nobody can find him.

 

Here's my guesses...
John Boyega: Zare Leonis II - A defected Imperial Stormtrooper who, unknown to him has Force abilities. He will become Luke's newest apprentice. His father appears in Star Wars REBELS. He is the top graduate from the Imperial Academy but always questioned the Empire's motives. One of the lead characters.

Daisy Ridley: Kira/Jaina/Leia Jr. Solo - Han and Leia's young daughter and Jedi in training. She is a skilled lightsaber duelist, pilot, and tracker. Solo is also the latest apprentice of her uncle Luke Skywalker prior to his disapearance so she trains herself with the aide of Yoda's Force ghost. Zare Leonis II's love intrest.One of the lead characters.

Adam Driver: Decendant of Dooku's line. He is a skilled Jedi but feels the Dark side pulling him. He is the best pilot in the current incarnation of Rogue Squadron. He is the heir to an aristocratic family and is obsessed with ancient Sith artifacts and uses his limitless wealth to track them down. He joins the main villian, who has been training him in the Dark side of the Force. Kills his master and takes the name Darth Ruin at the end of the movie.

Oscar Isaac: A Mandalorian bounty hunter who has been hired by the "Empire" to hunt down Luke Skywalker. Or maybe a Thrawn-esque character who is in charge of the Imperial fleet.

Andy Serkis: Serkis himself said he is sort of a cameo appearance due to Abrams using his mo-cap company. That being said I think he will portray an aged Zeb from REBELS.

Domhnall Gleeson: Ben/Luke Jr. Skywalker - Luke's only child from his late wife, who is unnamed at this time. He actaully does not have Force powers so he grows close to his uncle Han Solo and ends up with the Falcon in his posession. One of the lead characters.

Max Von Sydow: Vader's secret apprentice (not Starkiller) who remained hidden after the fall of Vader and Palpatine and chose his time to strike now after finding a suitable apprentice in Driver's character. Very Darth Bane like in terms of chosing his apprentice.

Lupita Nyong'o: Leia's rival in politics.

Gwendoline Christie: A Stormtrooper captain under Oscar Isaac's command. Turns out to have Force powers like Zare, her top recruit underling. Ends up with a love/hate relationship with Gleeson's character when they fight, appears they have a history possibly childhood friends but she joins up with the "Empire". (Serves as a Mara Jade like character who uses her Force powers for her tasks within the Empire and rises through the ranks. Keeps her Force powers secret.) She ends up falling for Ben Skywalker and joining the "Rebels" in Episode Eight. Although she has Force powers she doesn't use a lightsaber.

Crystal Clarke Lando's daughter. A pilot for the "Rebels."

Pip Anderson: Jacen/Han Jr. Solo - Jaina's twin-brother who also has exceptional Force skills. Follows his mother Leia's footsteps in politics and becomes her protoge, but ends up joining in on the fighting towards the end of the film. Has a crush on Lando's daughter.

Christina Chong: A Jedi the trio of Ridley, Boyega, and Gleeson meet on their travels. More of a cameo role but becomes important in Episode Eight.

Miltos Yerolemou: An aged Ezra Bridger from REBELS who is training his own apprentice, Christina Chong's character. More of a cameo role but becomes important in Episode Eight.

 

That's a lot of Jedi.

 

Luke's had a lot of time on his hands training them up lol

 

I think in order for it to link up more with EPVI it will have fewer Jedi. Maybe 2 max. Maybe by EpIX they'll have restored the Jedi order, but I think that will develop over the series.

 

Right. That's why I said Chong and Yerolemou will be more important in Ep 8. But the main three I think will be Jedi. Boyega could go either way but I think he will be one as well. Post who you think each character will be!

 

In a dazzling display of directorial genius, Abrams has recast the roles for the entire original gang...

Carrie Fisher - With the downfall of the Galactic Empire, she was finally able to get some quality "me time". She has since retreated to the dessert where she makes beaded necklaces for sale in the Cantina. The Daisey Ridley character is her shop keeper

Harrison Ford - After years of being a wandering rogue, he has now found a home he can call his own. He returns to a life as a carpenter, and dispenses wisdom while literally "rebuilding" planets devastated by the war. Boyega's downed TIE fighter crashed into a building he is working on, which allows Han to explain to the young lad the error of his wayward life.

Mark Hamill - The galaxy is without leadership. It is too important a job to let pass to a lesser character... Luke takes up the mantle and becomes the new Emperor

This is how the story begins

 

I must say this is a completely new direction as compared to others' speculation lol

 

I think the story will focus on 2-3 characters. The new young hero or heroine, the "villain" and the original trilogy characters. The droids will tie everything together (or they should). I wonder who has them, Leia who had them in IV? Will they be split up like in V or together but on their own (seemingly) like the beginning of VI? Feel like C3P0 will be with Leia and Han, too many chances for great lines from that ensemble. R2 was pretty much Luke's so it'll be very interesting to see who R2 is with.

 

I'm thinking R2 will be with Luke or Daisy.

Sounds like I'm taking about the Dukes of Hazard.

 

I'm really curious who Dohmnall Gleeson is playing. Haven't heard much about where he's been seen or what sets he's been on.

 

He's sneaky
