    I think I figured out the line, maybe I'm wrong, but I think Rey is asking Luke a question and Luke respond, "the last person I trained said the Jedi need to end. That would be a line from Kylo Ren.

    Hmm, does this mean Phasma will be unmasked in this one?
    Kinda hope so.
    Pissed me off that they wasted Gwendolin Christie as costume stuffing last time.

    Definitely want some more Phasma.

    I really wish they had made the TR8R trooper fight with her instead. That would've sustained the Phasma/Finn dynamic much better.

    I'm wondering who the Asian chick is? She is featured prominently with the other main cast.

    I wonder if she will be a love interest for Finn or Poe?

    Oh, you didn't hear about her?
    Should have watched Star Wars Celebration.
    She's Kelly Marie Tran, and she's playing Rose, a new girlfriend for Finn.

    Yeah, they're ripping off The Dark Crystal. Will the Skeksis make an appearance?

    Luke has an army of force-sensitive Gelflings.

    Mark Hamill was less than thrilled with the direction they took Luke in.

    Without knowing Hamill's ideas, it's kind of hard to say. I'm sure that we'd all agree that TFA was better than the prequel crap Lucas foisted upon us.

    Yeah but he knows the character and what the fans want. Also, I seem to remember he objected to Luke and Han not reuniting before Han died.

    Lucas supposedly knew that as well, and look what we got: crap. Throw in the last Indiana Jones movie, and it seems clear to me that George doesn't know shit fromShinola. Does Hamill? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know.

    On top of that, Rian Johnson has come out and admitted that Lucasfilm has no real direction for the franchise. They never mapped out the storyline for the final trilogy, they are making them up as they go. So between that and Hamill's comments, I'm gravely concerned. They only saving grace is that Kathleen Kennedy has her shit together and is an excellent producer. So I'm hoping that the final product might defy expectations and go in new directions that are interesting and not crap, like what Lucas gave us with the prequels.

    The original trilogy is gold, and it wasn't planned.
    Anything that says there was a plan is a fucking lie.
    Lucasfilm fairy tale-ed that shit after the fact.

    I think Lucas's plan for the original trilogy was something like:

    Luke joins the Rebellion.
    Luke becomes a Jedi.
    Luke defeats Darth Vader and the Empire.

    And that was about it. All of the others stuff--including Luke's family--was added on as the episodes progressed. I don't believe for a second that when Empire was in the works that George knew that he was going to make Leia Luke's sister.

    There's a fairly expensive series of books ($100+ a copy, IIRC), where the author interviews the various people connected with the films and all of them say that George was just pulling shit out of his ass as he went along.

    According to the Vanity Fair articles, Luke isn't alone on that island. There's an "indigenous race of caretakers." Also, this is definitely the site of the first Jedi temple.

    My guess is the caretakers will be the same species as Yoda.
