Star Wars: Episode VIII - Discussion and Rumors Thread (224 views)

1. Never saw these! Nice.

2. DEM PRACTICAL EFFECTS KEEP COMING

Apparently Rey won't find out she's a Skywalker until episode 9. Abrams said her parents aren't in episode 8 in the capacity that she doesn't know in VIII. Confusing really. He said her parents could have already been introduced to us already. Don't know why he worded it like that instead of just saying she won't find out until IX.

It's obvious she's a Skywalker though. If not, then the whole dream sequence where Anakin's lightsaber was calling to her is a waste.

But the theme of the movie was heritage and family. The lightsaber calling to her is a symbol of her heritage. It wouldn't make sense with the flow of the movie to call to same random person.
