It sounds like the original trilogy only with Luke actually turning to the dark side.

After watching the movie and asking the same question myself, I finallyu came to realize that I do not care. TLJ was not a bad star wars movie, it was simply a bad movie. Period.

Spoiler alert: based on the creature design, it seems that the next disney purchase is actuallt Square-Enix.

i love that its 2 drunks who sold her into slavery, im so happy its not Luke tbh

It's not Luke, Luke was surprised anyone actually showed up on his planet and didn't have a clue who Rey was. I did have the feeling Han Solo knew in 7, when Maz asked him "who the girl is" he had a look on his face and it seemed like Han was about to tell Maz before the scene cut away. I do think Kylo didn't necessarily lie to Rey in 8 when he said her parents were nobodies. Here real parents might have been, being Force Sensitive isn't hereditary, but that also doesn't mean she was never on anyone's radar...

I'm not sure what to think yet.

That sounds more interesting than Luke turning to the blue-milk drinking homeless side sitting around waiting to die.

What if Mary Sue is Jaina? And Emo guy just wants to live happy with his sister?

Maybe Jar Jar Abrahams do that for ep9 and saves this mess.

That's what this movie was showing us, the Force wasn't just something for the Jedi to have and hold over others because they figured out how to wield it in battle, the Jedi are a single religious group who happen to give a name to the force and use it to push their beliefs much like the way the Sith do to counter their use of it. But basically the force exists for anyone who sits and listens to tap into it, some people are more naturally in tune with it but it's not genetic, it's just some people happen to be more connected with the will of the galaxy.

Reys parents, as they both said together in the film were nobodies, buried in a paupers grave already as they were just drunks, she is a nobody in relation to any of the previously established characters in the SW universe.

I hope JJ doesn't tinker with this next movie. I was annoyed in TFA how it seemed to set up that everyone was related to each other so I'm very thankful that for now Rey's parents are just nobodies.

Yeah indeed, it was a curveball and really I don't want 30mins of the next film to be undoing the 2 hours of TLJ, episode 9 needs to be a focused conclusion to the 3rd trilogy, not backtracking over ep 8.

It just seem so random then. Why do they keep saying that they need to bring balance to the force when it can just pick whoever it feel will bring the balance and give them the powers? It kinda takes away the whole point of the original trilogy. Just that the Jedis were some kind of cult and training means fuck all. That Rey who was picked by the force is just good, but the jedis was always warned about the dark side of the force and had a hard time controlling it. I don't know. Seems kinda silly to me.
