**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

MOVIE SPOILER ALERT! Don't read further, if you haven't seen the Force Awakens.

I know there's been some discussion on here about the new characters. Sorry, I haven't read all of it. But, has anyone discussed who Rey is? I know there's been some discussion about Kylo Ren. I think Rey is Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter. Think about it. She was able to use his lightsaber. Isn't that supposed to be impossible...unless they are related.

Sorry if this has been discussed. I haven't had a chance to review this entire thread.

I didn't think he had any children... I (personally ) still think Rey is Luke's daughter

I thought so too. Except it being the most obvious scenario. So, expecting a twist...I'm going with OB1's granddaughter. The lightsaber being the hint.

After seeing TFA this weekend, I am now officially excited about SW @ DHS! I'm like R2 rocking back and forth! It can't come fast enough for me!

Me too. I finally gave up trying to figure it out and reading into the little signs and what nots because it was driving me crazy! But my biggest one, is yes it would be obvious. But not everything in SW was all that veiled. And SW has really always been a story about the Skywalker family. I believe George said something to that effect before, and Disney really is trying to stick to the roots of SW this time around. So why not?

One more question, that just came to me: Where would we get the best view?

Yuli's spot is fantastic. It's right across from 50s Prime Time in front of Echo Lake. There's a ledge to sit on, or a spot on the sidewalk is just as good.

Unless they are drastically changing the history, Obi-Wan never had children. I suppose he could have when he went into hiding. However, that lightsaber is Anakin's, not Obi-Wan's. Anyone can use a lightsaber though. I think the problem for normal folks comes with controlling it. That is actually one thing that bothered me about Finn, unless he is also force sensitive. Anyone can use one, but it takes the Force to control the blade, heat, vibrations, etc. That is why most normal people can only use one for a small amount of time before the difficulty (and quite frankly pain) overwhelm them.

I agree that it is obvious, but I also fall into the "Rey is Luke's daughter" camp. I am assuming he doesn't know about her...like Anakin didn't know about Luke and Leia. There are a lot of echos from the old movies.

Rey has to be Luke's daughter. There are about 20 hints, one of the bigger ones being when Maz went to hand her the lightsaber and said that it belonged to luke, and his father before him, and now it calls to you. That line would make no sense if Rey was some random girl.

I think what happened is that Kylo Ren couldn't bring himself to kill her when he killed the other apprentices, so he took her and dumped her on Jakku and she developed some sort of PTSD that blocked her from the force and blocked her powers.

Why else would Kylo freak out when 'a girl on Jakku' is mentioned. Why would he care about a random girl from Jakku unless he dumped his cousin there.

Having his nephew kill his daughter and all the other apprentices is the only excuse I can think for Luke to go hide from the galaxy. If for some reason Luke dumped Rey that would be character assassination for him and I couldn't like him anymore.

Wait...you are correct. The lightsaber that "called" to Rey was Luke's, which was given to him by Obi-Wan, which used to be Anakin's. You have a good memory. I guess I'm overthinking this whole deal. Can't wait until May of 2017.

SW:TFA spoilers/theories below
i'm also leaning towards rey being luke's daughter- though mr. sunday movies on youtube laid out a pretty good theory about being related to obi-wan- especially with the marketing machine that is disney, that relationship would definitely create interest in an upcoming origin movie for obi-wan.

i really like the idea that kylo ren dropped her off- though, for me, luke leaving her there wouldn't ruin his character for me- if he really thought she'd be safer without him, it'd be a tough but understandable thing for me.

I just can't see it. The guy he left her with was not nice (forget his name, the one who handed out the portions for the worthwhile junk). He did not enjoy growing up on a dessert planet away from all the action and with his parentage a secret, I can't see him doing that to his daughter. Even if he thought she'd be safer without him in secret, he would have found her a better guardian.

Part of me wonders if he even knew she had survived. There was fire in the force scenes, almost seems like Luke was away when all of this happened and maybe someone else dropped her and then perished themselves. So, so many ways this could go. It is driving me nuts! New plan. Find John Boyega, bring him over some cocktails and get to talking SW and hope he gets so excited he slips and tells me everything!! (he would definitely be the first to slip) *as Disney ninjas drop out of the ceiling and drag us off to a location where we will never be seen again. Somewhere far, far away #everyonewins

I saw a theory which makes more sense and I think is possible. Obi one being in the desert married had kids and one of those was Lukes wife. So she is a Kanobi and Skywalker. Thus her strong use of the force. Also Rey speaks with a British accent which I read that accent was the same a Obi one and also Padme when she would address the council. The accent seems to be a clue. The only two "good guys" in the entire series who have British accents are Obi Wan and Rey (if you exclude C3PO). This likely isn't an accident since other British actors (i.e. John Boyega, Liam Neeson) perform with American accents. Also why would she hear Obi one's voice in her dreams flashback?

I figured Obi Wan's force ghost was just wandering about the galaxy being bored and he was drawn to Luke's daughter when the force awakened.

 

[lovethattink]

Each trip to Launch Bay is different. For the first time, we heard Vader speak and Chewie growl!!! The jawa wouldn't trade with ds. They didn't like his stuff. And the biggest surprise was the troopers stopping to talk to him! They talk like Vader. Said something like the resistance will crumble.

Okay, since this thread has gotten SO long, and so much has happened since it started, I'm asking a stupid question:
We'll be at DHS on 2/1, and my SW obsessed husband is wanting to see the Symphony In The Stars fireworks. So, just to confirm what I read on page 1 of the thread: the show will happen on 2/1 at 8:00pm? One more question, that just came to me: Where would we get the best view?

the park hours and F! will likely change, but we know for sure that the dessert party hours are:

January 5 – March 6- 7:00pm – 8:15pm, fireworks are at 8pm.

March 7 – March 12- 7:30pm – 8:45pm, fireworks are at 8:30pm

March 13 – March 19- 8:30pm – 9:45pm, fireworks are at 9:30pm

My personal favorite spot is the ledge across from 50s Prime Time right by Echo Lake, unobstructed view of them and not crowded.

be still my heart, I love him so much...I have seen a lot of interviews and he is so funny and engaging and when I found out he's an immigrant from Central America and was raised in Miami that was it! I feel we have a connection (searches for ways to stalk, ahem, research if he still lives 4 hours away from me)

I'm still uncertain about parentage, but I still think Luke is the one that dropped her. Something like, the betrayal of Kylo Ren destroys Luke's confidence in training Jedi and he feels he'll just create another Kylo Ren/Darth Vader. He then drops his only surviving student off and vanishes, seeking answers on how to train Jedi to resist the dark side...etc

Watch Jimmy Kimmel's interview with him, you'll love him even more. Let's be co-presidents of the love oscar isaac club.

I dunno, I just still can't think how Luke would ditch his student (or daughter) on a planet like that with that awful guy. Just for me personally, that would be the end of Luke, and he is my favorite character.

Best. Party. Ever. Except we have to invite Adam Driver too. My first reaction to him was ehm, thats an...interesting looking guy there. It was not good. By the next day I loved him and had watched a dozen of his interviews.

Re: Rey's parentage... We discussed in depth on the car ride home from the movie (!!) and arrived at, in order of likelihood from our perspective:

1) Luke's daughter: Obvious, but there is some precedent in this family for dumping a kid on a desert planet...

2) Obi-wan's granddaughter: 'Cause that was the only other cool-ish connection we could think of! LOL!

3) Sibling of someone in Kylo Ren's little pack: meh... not that interesting

4) Not connected to anyone we know YET: didn't seem that likely
