StrangeSox Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) Obi-Wan's story is unknown. Anakin was conceived by Darth Plagueis' manipulation of midichlorians to create a powerful Sith leader. God I hate the prequels for introducing that sort of garbage. Basically agree with Steve. Solid B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 There was a lot of interesting stuff on the Chris Ryan/Andy Greenwald podcast today on star wars. One, I learned that there really wasn't a script handed to JJ Abrams from Michael Arndt, he had general themes but that's it. So the entire script was written in the 3 months before they needed to shoot. That explains a lot, and certainly explains why they went with safer landscapes like desert/forest/snow vs. the swamp scenes discussed earlier.

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) So there are probably a ton of different books out there...which ones are considered to be the canon or whatever? If you or anyone is still looking for a canon book, definitely go with with Lost Stars. I read it in a week. Very good. It's considered Young Adult but by everyone's account is way better than the adult book that's out, Aftermath. I'm not really sure what makes a book young adult vs adult. It had very grown up themes and was just as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just saw it. (Finally!) My fan theory: Finn got taken from his family at a young age; his family (father) has got to be Lando Calrissian. Lando blew up the second Death Star and was friends with Han and Leia (Kylo Ren/Ben's family). The First Order kidnapped his only child as a payment of retribution.

He's black so he must be related to Lando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 They are saying Snoke is Darth Vader based on similarities in their faces : http://moviepilot.com/posts/3721240 That would make Vader a complete idiot though right?

There might be something to that just based on the scene with Maz Kanata saying "You see the same eyes" or something like that. Han Solo said "Very good" as if he noticed it, too, but I also thought that might have been that they both noticed he was a stormtrooper. There might be something to Finn's background though. Nothing to hint at Lando though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Ugh, why is the force hereditary, that's stupid. I have to say, i think it's unlikely that any of this is known. Remember that this is now passing writers from abrams to the other dude. There may have been stuff abrams introduced which the next guy may not run with.

Sort of like good genes help, but it doesn't have to be passed down through family lineage. I feel like there have been a lot of references in the cartoons where there is a child that is strong with the force, but the parents weren't.

He turned bad in Episode 3. I don't think he is Snoke, but the fact that he turned from bad to good again doesn't mean it couldn't be him.
