With The Last Jedi only a few weeks away from release I
thought I’d come up with my top 10 thing I think will happen in the movie. Not this is purely based on my own speculation
and nothing else but, should I somehow turn out to be correct this could be
considered SPOILRES so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Okay, so here we go….
Rey will be a Skywalker/Solo
I don’t think Rey
will turn out to be Luke’s daughter but she could be Han and Leia’s. It’s possible that Leia revealed this to her
during the events of the Force Awakens (Which we may see in a flashback). It kind of makes sense that they hid Rey to
protect her from Kylo Ren after he turned to the darkside, fearing that he may
try to seduce her (or at least Snoke would).
This would explain Rey’s natural ability to fly the Falcon and her string
force abilities.
Poe is force sensitive
I think it will be heavily hinted at or even directly mentioned
that Poe Dameron is force sensitive. If
you’ve read the Shattered Empire comic you’ll know that Poe’s mother helped
Luke Skywalker to retrieve a force tree from one of The Emperor’s many facilities
containing obtained Jedi artefacts. As a
thank you for her assistant Luke gave Poe’s mum a sample of the tree which she
planted on Yavin 4 (which is where she retired after leaving the
Rebellion). It’s possible that this
tree influenced Poe’s development and allowed him to become force sensitive? The evidence would seem to suggest that, especially
given his piloting abilities.
We’ll never find out what happened to Finn’s parents
I think they will leave this aspect of Finn’s past unanswered. If the First Order kidnapped and raised lots
of children to fill their ranks, as they did with Finn then it is not outside
the realm of possibility that they just don’t keep any records of who they took
the kids from (as the just don’t care).
Lando will get a name check
I think Leia will mention him at some point and we may even
learn of his fate (Possibly at Han’s funeral?). As much as it pains me to write it I don’t
think we’ll physically see Lando in the movie.
We’ll get a few Rebels references
As with Rogue One I think we may get at least one Rebels
mention. Ezra seems like a good
call. Perhaps we’ll learn that he joined
Luke’s Jedi Academy, or maybe we’ll see Chopper in the background of a shot
(Like in Rogue One). It’s tricky though
as the final session has yet to end, but you never know.
Luke will not die
I think killing off Luke in this movie will be a very bad
move. I think he may stay on Ach-To once
Rey leaves him to go back to the resistance and that after she gets captured by
Snoke he will leave to go rescue her. Which
leads me onto…
Kylo Ren will seek out Luke’s help
I think the movie is going to have a strong redemption arc
for Kylo Ren/Ben Solo and I think the film will end with Rey being captured by
Snoke and Kylo Ren abandoning the First Order to go and seek Luke and for his
help in getting her back. If Rey is Kylo’s
sister then this would make sense. Rey
could be the person to make him question his place in the balance of the
force. Seeing Rey captured and tortured
could be enough to convince him to desert the dark path and come back into the
light. It would also be a good way of reconciling
Luke’s failure to stop Ben Solo from turning to the darkside. Perhaps Rey will go to Leia first and the two
of them will go to find Luke.
