I join you in that doubt. I don't see this getting major noms at all.

The #BoycottStarWars peeps are gonna start promoting this shit
Oh bullshit
Look at Bobby's post above yours. What's wrong with that sort of character? It seems like a decent character to me. Sounds kinda like a young naive kid, that been through a lot and seem some shit but isn't afraid to back down from danger
Naw man. Luke was a respectable farmer with natural talents and a sense for adventure. Han was a cunning smuggler with swag for days. Finn that dude skinning potatoes in the galley during the invasion of normandy
That info about Boyega's audition was a lie. They just asked how good he was a cleaning toilets.
You just described Luke at the end. Dude had a dead end awful job and desperately wanted off the planet. He didn't have a respectable job at all. He was a nobody in the middle of nowhere doing jack shit.
From the deleted Toschi Station scene it was clear all his friends thought he was a loser.

I don't want to be 100% spoiled so I don't want to scan the whole thread, but I do want to know one thing: does Han Solo die? Is it 100% confirmed?

I mean, if you wanna spin it that way, I guess you can.
I coulda rolled up in here and said "well, it's better than Into Darkness," and that would be true, but it doesn't say the same thing that I'm actually saying, though.
Yes.
Those two are so vastly different that I have no clue what to make of that.

I'm not saying his character isn't positive or interesting, I'm sure he's great and I'm sure he'll have his moments to shine, but there's a special appeal in a character that can use the Force.

Han Solo is easily the most beloved of the trio of the OT, no force at all.
I never once thought he'd be a force user. In that first teaser I thought he was nothing more than a stormtrooper. Rey just looked more the part to use the force. Lone scaveger etc..Just felt obvious.

Exuberance/naivete/innate goodness
Full of shit/Smartass/shortsighted
He learns quickly (Luke) Kicks his fair share of ass (Han) Makes dumb calls that get him put in shit situations (Han) blusters his way out of hit (Han) for all the right reasons (Luke) because he openly, obviously, gives a shit and doesn't care if you know it (Luke)
Wedge.
But it's like Gandalf right? He's totally coming back like Gandalf? Gandalf.
That's going to be interesting. I'm not sure how well that's going to mesh together though.

No clue as to Rey's parentage, honestly. I'm exactly where I was before I walked in the theater.
It's gotta be something though, yeah? They can't just do a "oh it's these random dudes" in 8 or 9.

I feel like I woke up in an evil universe where Finn got done dirty worse than I ever could have imagined. Someone wake me up from this nightmare. Hoping Bobby is right about him.
So it's not talked about at all?
Finn definitely got done dirty, but he's got the skills to clean it up

@ Bobby/Syriel, does this actually happen?
Nothing even ruling out her being a Solo?
He is coming back as force ghost, Yoda, Obi, Qui and Anakin will make sure of it.
Writing this makes me realize how underused the whole forceghost thing is.

From trash grabbers to temporary lightsabers. Finn came up.
I'm not denying that, I'm not saying Finn can't be amazing, I'm not saying it is necessary for a character to be force-sensitive to be popular. I'm just saying that given the special appeal of a character with superpowers, some people will be disappointed and all things considered I probably won't find joy in that (i.e. the reactions of those people).
I'll laugh if she's basically Jaina Solo.

Nah, she's not a Solo.
I'm where I was before I saw it:
90% Skywalker kid
5% Kenobi relation (this is a total asspull based on nothing but her accent)
5% completely random

Since Rey is basically John Cena, who can do it all including overpowering a so-called Jedi killer despite never picking up a lightsaber in her life, what kind of wrestling jobber would Finn be?
BronsonLee, help me out here. I'm thinking the Brooklyn Brawler.

Well of course you'll have some people upset at that, but overall I don't think it'll make much difference. This movie will be my introduction to his character I don't know how his story ends and that makes me excited honestly.

Do you really think Disney isn't going to pull a "I am your father" moment?

Rey gonna hit Kylo with dat Attitude Adjustment #DoctorOfJedinomics
Finn would be Junkyard Dog. Or that black guy who lost to King Kong Bundy in like 9 seconds
That wasn't really a problem with the PTs though. It was how the Force Users were depicted rather than their actual existence.
Unless Ben had a younger brother, I can't imagine she's a Kenobi.
You won't found out in this film lol
There is nothing that directly confirms this, as all the flashbacks were vague hints, but honestly, given the timing of events and other bits it is the theory that I'm leaning towards now that I've seen the film.
I have no idea what "revelation" Ohwiseone is hinting at there.
Han and Leia probably would have noticed if she was their kid.

I actually hope not much gets leaked from VIII this time around. If Rian is going to go nuts then id rather keep those stories under wraps. MSW was good throughout the leaks but i fear under new stuff he'll just get confused as I dont think he is too bright sometimes. I know thats mean.
