Chewie force awakens movie#

Remaining problems: It’s still a complete and utter mess, logic sacrificed on the altar of 21st century Hollywood action movie pacing.

Plot holes filled: The preposterous serendipity via which Rey meets the only man in the galaxy who can introduce her to the Resistance, and bring her into contact with the CGI alien in possession of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.

The space gangs turned up because they were either tracking Han or tracking the Falcon for the First Order. Because the spacecraft has been grounded for decades, it never went off. The smuggling duo board the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy and begin talking up their ownership credentials, but before they’ve had much chance to do so, two separate gangs of space mobsters turn up and begin making threats.Han mentions that the First Order will be able to track the Falcon as easily as he will, so the theory goes that the wily old scoundrel had an iPhone-style “Find my Falcon” app set up to alert him whenever his old ship hit the quadrant. We first meet Han and Chewbacca on board a huge freighter which has gobbled up the Millennium Falcon. The Guardian film show special: Star Wars: The Force Awakens – video review GuardianĪ lot of this is in the movie, but it’s not well-explained. 2) Han Solo and Chewie were tracking the Millennium Falcon Remaining problems: This one does seem to wrap up a lot of loose ends, but still doesn’t explain why Maz Kanata had Luke’s lightsaber in the first place. Plot holes filled: Rey’s connection to Luke the young scavenger’s abandonment on Jakku her nascent force powers Rey being drawn to the lightsaber by the Force The Resistance tasking Rey to visit Luke at the end of The Force Awakens once the map is complete Kylo Ren recognising Rey before their lightsaber battle Rey’s obvious fear at the idea of embracing her Jedi destiny. The suggestion here is that Max Von Sydow’s Lor San Tekka may also have had a role at the academy, and was therefore sent to Jakku to keep an eye on Rey while maintaining little contact to avoid revealing her whereabouts. The theory goes that Rey was once one of Luke’s students - possibly as his niece or daughter - but following the destruction of the younglings was sent to Jakku to escape Ren’s wrath. In the young Jakku scavenger’s flashback at Maz Kanata’s castle, just after she finds Luke’s old lightsaber, we see a young girl witness some sort of slaughter at the hands of Kylo Ren at what appears to be Luke’s Jedi academy. 1) Rey was once a student at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi school
