The 11 biggest questions we have after seeing 'Star Wars'
We made it through the whole movie and still only know Rey's first name.
We know she's force sensitive and that she's a great pilot. Anakin's lightsaber called to her and she was able to overpower Kylo. The current theory is that she's Luke's daughter, but could she be Kylo's secret sister? Maybe she's someone unconnected to the Skywalker clan all together.
He senses that Rey sees Han as a father figure and then tells her she'd be disappointed by him. What did he do that was so bad in Kylo's eyes?
Maybe Han never invited him for trips on the Millennium Falcon.
Is the new Sith lord someone we already know or is he a completely new character. Leia appeared to make it seem as if she may have been familiar with him.
The other thought is that he may be Darth Plagueis, a Sith lord referenced in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith." Though Plageuis died years ago he was apparently so knowledgable in the dark side he could prevent people from dying. Could he have found a way to bring himself back to life or is he just someone entirely different?
We know Luke lost his father's lightsaber in "Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back." After Vader took his hand off the saber fell somewhere in Cloud City.
In "The Force Awakens," the lightsaber is in a room in Maz Kanata's palace. She tells Han Solo he has to wait another day to hear the story of how she came into its possession. That's obviously not going to happen any time soon.
We thought Max von Sydow's character Lor San Tekka may have a bigger role in the film but he was only at the start to give a partial map of Luke's whereabouts to Poe Dameron.
According to StarWars.com, we know Lor San Tekka was affiliated with a Jedi group called The Church of the Force. The site says he helped Luke "recover secret Jedi lore" that the Empire tried to destroy. It seems like Luke may have left the map with him.
He says he plans to finish what his grandfather started, but Darth Vader was very much at peace when he died in "Return of the Jedi."
Is Kylo not aware of how Vader actually died and that Luke helped save Anakin from the dark side? It seems like this knowledge would put a big dent in Kylo's plans.
After Luke learned he had force abilities he had to go and train with Yoda in the Dagobah system before he had a real handle on his powers.
Is Rey just much more powerful? She basically just commanded it on will after learning she was special.
Did Luke set R2 to awake when the time was right? Either R2 sensed that Luke's lightsaber was near or Luke let him know somehow that it was the right time for him to awaken.
Or perhaps R2 sensed Luke or the Force within Rey — he did come out of deep power mode only after Rey made it to the Resistance base.
We know Luke was training a group of younger Jedi until his nephew was swayed by the dark side. It sounds like Kylo may have taken out the other Jedi training alongside him, much like Anakin Skywalker did in Episode III.
Did Luke feel guilty about the loss of a potential group of Jedi or did he flee because he sensed he may get consumed by the dark side as well? We know Luke has walked a fine line between both the dark side and the light in the past.
Okay maybe someone has and we're unaware of that yet. Seriously. Look, I get that the gang is too old to go after the new dark lord, but he's family!
Don't Han and Leia feel some sort of responsibility toward their son? Instead, they're just letting him roam the galaxy killing villages and planets full of people?
Luke, the galaxy's former savior, is just going to up and vanish and let his nephew wreak havoc on the universe? Again, maybe this is because he feared unleashing a firestorm of rage on Kylo, but fans need an explanation.
Granted, we don't know what he's doing at this Jedi temple he sought out. Maybe he's been searching for answers. Luke has always been very proactive in going off and doing his own thing without telling anyone (i.e. heading to Dagobah to train with Yoda). Maybe he's been connecting with the force ghosts (Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, etc.) to figure out a way to defeat Snoke?
We'll just have to wait until 2017 to find out.
No, seriously. How does Kylo’s hair stay so perfectly curled under his Vader-style helmet?
We're asking the important questions.
