Chat corner 43: The Force Awakens

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt, if you want one, is “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, the first movie in the Sequel trilogy. Old characters return, new characters appear, new story begins.

Because I know this is a sore topic for many, I’d like to remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, and keep this space positive-to-neutral. If you slide into a rant, just post it there and link it here (“I have thoughts but they’re mean: <link>”).

And of course, it’s an optional topic - if you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to talk about it ;) I’m sure we can find something else :D

Oh yeah, so many theories. :D I've been saving it for the TLJ chat corner, but personally I wish they'd stayed with the version where Rey isn't related to anybody - I thought it was really fitting, that it doesn't matter where she comes from, only who she is and what she does.

As a concept, I get that completely.

It’s just that Disney/LF could have picked an actress who didn’t resemble Padme and Shmi to convey that idea? The audience expected a next gen Skywalker to carry the torch, like Jaina Solo in the EU.
