That would be cool, but Palpatine must've mated with one of his concubines just before Vader killed him.

You mean he was straight????? Maybe before the prequels, but not after!

Kylo is the son of Han and Leia. Rey is their daughter. Luke was training a group of apprentices and everything went to hell and they were all slaughtered. Rey was sent to the outskirts to protect her. Ren becomes a dark side psychopath worshiping his dark side grandfather. Rey is reluctant to embrace her destiny as a force user, until she realizes she has to stand up to her brother and fight back after Ren kills her father and threatens to kill Finn. That's where we are in the rumor-sphere.

I've gotta stop reading the rumors on the spoilers!!! it's going to make the wait even longer!!!

That's what I've been reading too. Just speculating why he's called a

[Show spoiler]Prince

in the synopsis. Also in my opinion this

[Show spoiler]siblings/twins of Han/Leia is too predictable and been used before in EU (canon or otherwise), I like to think Rey is the only Skywalker descendant. Lucas did say the Skywalker saga is about Anakin, his children and grandchildren so that rumor is more likely though. Luke as a devoted Jedi doesn't marry unless there's a forbidden love going on like his parents.

John Williams is a genius. Performing Duel of the Fates as a solo like this really shows how complex and beautiful the melody is. It is in the top 5 of the best film scores ever (all 5 is from John Williams in my list). It can stand alone as a classical masterpiece. Can't wait for some new memorable themes in The Force Awakens.

Duel Of The Fates (From Star Wars) Violin - Taylor Davis - YouTube

Seriously, I haven't heard anything like this from any other composers.

As good as the violin player is (or I assume she is, I'm no expert), the ultra-cheesy backing track still makes it sound like the 'movie of the week' version of Duel of the Fates.

Yup, agreed. I just ignore the background music.

Description of rumored Flashback scene:

[Show spoiler]The rumor claims that near the middle of "The Force Awakens," the film's central heroes Han Solo, Finn and Rey go visit Maz Kantana and present her with Luke's lightsaber.

Immediately after recognizing the saber, she offers them a "vision" which essentially allows connects the heroes with the events of the light saber. The "vision" includes glimpses of Luke looking at a dead Jedi Academy and leaving R2-D2 behind. It also shows Kylo Ren approaching Rey and some mysterious "seven" and a "clan."

Greedo's son shoots Han in the back and while he falls to the ground Chewbacca growls something and Han replies "I know" and dies.

Not very menacing with those dots on his face.

Fully animated character. I'm not liking that name much. I don't know, not feeling like someone evil, kinda funny actually. Maybe more fitting in Harry Potter world. Oh well, I hope the character itself will make up for it.

[Megalith]

Who came up with all of these horrible names? The prequels might have sucked, but I don't really remember any of the names being obviously bad like this.

It's all practical effects. He's playing a narcissistic cyborg with dots tattooed on his face. This scene takes place in his chamber.

These are the worst names I have ever seen. I feel like someone pulled them out of a kids fairytale rpg book or something. Every name I have seen for this new movie has been just atrocious.

All CGI characters are the hardest things for me to accept in modern movies. Disappointed there's going to be at least two in the main cast. Hopefully JJ pulls it off.
