I think what we should speculate the most is Rian Johnson directing Episode 8.

He doesn't have many big name films, not even close to what Abrams has. It kind of worries me a little.


Hopefully it doesn't mean he's going to play it safe. Honestly all we can hope for is he is a fan of star wars and wants to make the best movie he can.

Rey is Han's kid, they really couldn't have hinted at it any harder.



Which is exactly why she might not be.

She is definitely a Skywalker or Solo. No other reason to not give her last name.

Either Han or Luke dropped her off at Jakku when Kylo went nuts to protect her from the dark side and Kylo. I'm guessing Luke but it would be better if it were Han.

Looper was a big film and Brick was a great indie film.

Would just be bad storytelling to hint at something like that as hard as they did and switch it around. Being deceptive for the sake of being deceptive makes shitty movies.

It's hinted more her being a skywalker than a solo.

Looper was decent and i was impressed with his two breaking bad episodes.
Though I'll agree it sounds like a gamble. Abrams had Rian on set a few times during filming, hopefully this will ease with the transition. He will more than likey have many experienced hands to help him throughout.

Abrams has stated he regrets not agreeing to direct episode 8 because the script is amazing.

In the movie, replacement female yoda asked han who Rey really is and he smirked then the scene cut away, implying han knows something. If he didn't he would have said he didn't know in the scene. Plus look at how quickly he offered her a job.


If she's Han's daughter and he knows it, then he's like the worst father in the Galaxy. Completely unfazed to find his daughter on the Falcon after not seeing her for ~15 years. Tells her to get lost when she tries to co-pilot with him. Doesn't bother teaching her how to use a blaster properly, just rolls his eyes sarcastically. Doesn't give a shit about her first running off into the woods and then being captured by Ren. Doesn't mention anything to Leia about meeting Rey and her being captured.

He either doesn't know who she is, or he doesn't consider her important.
