I liked how when Starkiller Base blew up it literally turned into a star. But one question, what happens when it completely drains a star of its energy? When it was preparing to destroy the Resistance base it had nearly completely drained the star. So what happens when the star's gone? Is Starkiller Base mobile, and if it is, can it just move on to a new star and drain that one? I assume it's mobile but i geuss they didn't want to go into too much detail since it wasn't really needed. I do love that scene. Whent he Starkiller Base fired at those planets. One of my favorite scenes in the film since it left quite an impact to me personally. Like i said before. I found the scene particularly haunting. |

Or perhaps it can just pull nearby stars towards it, I don't really think it's that mobile.

Since Phasma was confirmed to be in Episode VIII, I hope she has a bigger role. Maybe we can see her actually lead stormtroopers on a ground assault against the Resistance.

I'm starting to think Snoke already has a battalion of clones ready to go if needed... I see no point in mentioning Clones otherwise, it would take a very long time to produce them. Unless Snoke has a method like in The Force Unleashed 2 or something.
However if they do go with Clones it better be unique, maybe force sensitive clones or something. I really just don't want Clones we seen enough of that in the last 15 years. I like having different people, these new storm troopers have more of a role now then before as well in comparison to the OT. But in the OT the Imperials all ready had full control of the Galaxy as well, might be why they sucked because they never had use for top end training.
I think something similar to SWTOR Empire would be cool for First Order. War Droids in combination with actual Men and Women like e already saw

I don't think he meant anything literal by it. I'd rather not have clones here anyway. Once you bring in the idea, you're going to have every other person speculating about Palpatine clones or Vader clones... |

So, already people have been wondering that, assuming Rey is a Rey Skywalker (let's face it though, it's damn near confirmed with all that teasing) why she has an English accent. Theories are saying it likely comes from her mother because she was likely from somewhere like Coruscant, planets commonly dotted with people like me for some reason  Makes some sense really. Unless she got it from Plutt |

In think it would be neat to see the reason behind Kylo's cracked Kyber crystal. I think it gave his saber a neat look the way it is but because the crystal is cracked it doesn't give the saber a natural and iconic laser look but more like a fire flame sword. A flashback to his crystal findings would neat but I'm doubtful because that isn't a highlight to the series.

Kyber crystals are one of the strongest items in the Galaxy however might have still been damaged. |

War Droids in combination with actual Men and Women like e already saw The Clone line was just a frustrated Kylo Ren complaining about the First Order troopers while at the same time being a reference to the prequels. Nothing more then that. If Plagueis does have clones then comes the question. Can Clones be force Sensitive? They will defenitely have midi-chlorians but can you clone the right amount? |

Unless she got it from Plutt At the end credits i noticed that Plutt was played by Simon Pegg Random fact. She's no doubt Rey Skywalker. But yeah who will the mom be? I actually never thought about that and it should be the first question really. I would love to see Coruscant again but i think we're going to mostly new places in this trilogy And they already blew up the city-planet of Hovian Prime or something in this one so it might confuse people who are new to Star Wars. 9 |

Something cool I forgot to mention but the part where Rey (or was it Finn?) said "the ship that made the Kessel run in 13 parsecs" or something along those lines... Literally about half the audience said 12 before Han replied  |

Well, I think they just didn't want to have another Emperor... it would cause confusion for casual fans probably, especially since Palpatine was only called the Emperor in the OT. |

I think it is either my favorite Star Wars movie, or second, right next to Revenge of the Sith. I got spoiled by Han's death before I saw it, but it wasn't any less dramatic. Me and my step brother have been arguing about who Rey's parents are (He thinks Leia and Han..?). I personally know it be Luke, Rey is a main character, and in each movie it will always (I believe) be a Skywalker in lead. I really liked Rey and Finn, and I haven't read much, but I'm not sure if Finn is force sensitive, I've heard he may be a late bloomer. Snoke is obv. Plagueis. The one thing I did dislike about the movie though, is how they used a new Death Star, I mean I know it is re-branded a bit, but I've seen it blow up three times now, I do hope the next two unleash an actual weapon I haven't seen. What I really like about it though is how the main character, Rey, is a female lead. She does very well at the role and portrays a very strong willed individual. Along with her status I like the 'new movie humor' Star Wars portrays in the film. For example, when Kylo is slashing the control buttons, right after Rey escapes the lockup, we see two stormtroopers slowly back up and walk away, at first I didn't like that, but then I realized it's always a new-age for Star Wars and things change, and they did it well. Now for my theories on what will happen next...I take a very different approach. I believe Rey will turn to the darkside in Episode 8, Finn will turn her back with love, and they will defeat Kylo. This makes sense because we've seen the struggle, but we've never actually seen a hero have that struggle where someone goes from one and turns back (Vader last second doesn't count because we can't see how he does things as he dies immediately) It will surprise everyone, and give a twist. It will create a Skywalker who has fully walked both paths and create a true hero, a powerful one to me. I get this idea from a game called Knights of the Old Republic, the hero in it goes from being a Sith Lord to a full fledged Jedi Knight who defeats his old apprentice, his companion who is a very in touch with Jedi ways, and constantly obeys the council and the will of the light-turns dark. It is a twist I will never forget and would be amazing in the next film. I've probably got holes in my argument, feel free to point them out, I need a stronger argument anyways. so this new movie 10/10 wish it had more jar jar tho tbh  |

Also, the book is no longer canon so we don't know anything about how Plagueis died. Also, some ideas and characters for TFA were based on the Expanded Universe (or so I heard). |

Makes some sense really. Unless she got it from Plutt 
But i don't consider that a bad thing because that speech was awesome.
