So Rey would be the grand-daugther of Satine, the former Mandalore ruler ? It would surely be less boring than making her a Skywalker (and it would add a little something to the final rematch Ren vs Rey, with a new version of “Battle of the heroes”). But I would like her not to be blood-related to anyone we know (shrinking such a huge galaxy to a simple family feud over 9 movies is lame). Some kind of “New Chosen One” in order to explain her stunning abilities, and to extend (finish ?) the balance of the Force subplot (like it on not, it “feeds” the entire saga, even EpVII makes a reference to that).

Rian Johnson is a good director and even if his Akira-like “Looper” wasn’t that great the man knows how to build suspense and characters. That being said, TFA flaws are not really JJ Abrams faults, in the way a creative producer is needed to make a good movie (Gary Kurtz: yes ; McCallum: no ; Kennedy: surprinsingly no).

edit: by the way everybody is wishing (expecting ?) to see some training montage, but don’t you think this is déjà-vu stuff ? Even needed stuff ? It’s time to see something new, otherwise EpVIII is going to be a rehash ot EpV. EpVII is weak because (among many other flaws) they put things the fan base wanted to see, basically a rehash/remake/EpVI part 2, with nothing new added (only Finn is a never seen character in the saga, but they used him most of the time as a simple comic relief…). I want to be surprised, that Rian Johnson goes elsewhere to find inspiration, “Star Wars” Bible is not “Star Wars” itself (the main issue with most of 2015 blockbusters, this nostalgia trend which is killing creativity), it’s much more, way much more. Get inspirations from Robert Howard, Frank Herbert, David Gemmell, and so on. I know this is wishful thinking…
