    I’m not going to spend my New Years dats trawling through forum threads. However, back around the time of the TFA I thought Rey was a Palpatine. Based on her fighting style with the lightsaber.

    Perhaps, guys, there’s more of a planned story going on here then you’re willing to admit. Rey’s theme has long been noted to have similarities to Palpatine’s.

    Seeing as everyone spent tfa going “who’s the girl?” It never took a genius to assume there was a story there.

    Don't worry, they'll sort all this out when Episodes 10-12 are inevitably announced in a few years time.

    You won't BELIEVE who's great-grandfather the new protagonist is related to!!

    When they announced palpatine was back, I assumed she would be a female clone of his. It would probably have made her ‘defy your nature’ journey, her parents being nobodies and ultimately choosing her family name make a bit more sense.

    It’s not even much of a change, just a couple of lines of dialogue and suddenly you aren’t spending half the movie wondering who the emperor was banging.

    And her being a...ahem... vessel for his essence... would make more sense

    I will need someone more well-versed in the expanded universe to tell me if Sith possession is a common thing, because I don't think I've heard of it before.

    It's not a far cry from jedi mind tricks surely? You don't need to question this /waves fingers

    The burning question is did Palpatine get consent?

    If you thought the trade negotiation parts of Star Wars were good, wait until you get a load of the palpatine divorce and custody court battle spin off

    Palpatine and Rey would make excellent guests on Jeremy Kyle.

    Why wasn't her mother / father (which ever was the Palp-spawn) an all-powerful force wielding bad-ass as well then? Why not do the ritual with them?

    Cos Force sensitive kids were being murdered at the time so they probs didn’t let on they had this power.

    Murdered by Palpatine, yes. Presumably he’d know about his own kids though.

    If they go old, old, Old Republic down the line with a new trilogy, I'll call it now - Sheev will be the puppetmaster going back 1000s of years.

    He'll be the original dark side source and he'll have had the ability to wear many faces, which alongside force healing, will allow for anything to happen in the universe.

    Sounds great.

    I just assumes that his kids wouldn’t know he was their dad though. I don’t think he kept in touch with their mother after murdering the Jedi and becoming the dark side of the force.

    Was there any point to that new droid aside from ancillary merchandise? Don't think it did anything?

    Just got back from seeing it. Now to enjoy watching the spoiler filled neckbeard and man-boy rants.

    I missed a short part of of it at the start where it looks as though Kylo Ren fixes his helmet and Lando just shows up from out of nowhere. Speaking of which, I knew any kind of logic or semblance of a plot was going to get thrown out after the opening crawl/scene.

    It was a fun romp though. Definitely going to see this in IMAX again.
