[Show spoiler]that's gotta be from the opening of the movie, seeing as Finn's got his Trooper armour on. Kylo torturing Poe must be from the beginning then, not the end as I thought. Perhaps the point of the stormtroopers torching that village is to find some rebel scum (Poe), and it's after that operation that Finn then starts to feel queasy about his job. Finn then frees Poe and escapes in a TIE Fighter, crashing on Jakku (which I presume is where the raid above takes place).

With Poe out for the count Finn needs to find help, but he can't go wandering around in his armour so he takes Poe's jacket, and after that is when he crosses paths with Rey (whose introduction to the audience as a scavenger dreaming of a better life is probably cross-cut with the events above). Rey helps them escape from the advancing Imperials and that's when Poe sends a signal to the rebels, bringing Solo and Chewie to the rescue. Where the Falcon fits in I don't know, seeing as it's rumoured to be Poe's now?

I thought of something similar in my process of putting the pieces together.

With the original trilogy having many of bad guy's having an English accent (and it's continued here for this trilogy); would that make Rey related to or, perhaps, raised by a family descended from Imperialist or her villagers who could have descended? Or perhaps, if she's not, she was left with the villagers who have English accents.

Also, going by the line "Is it true? You're just a scavenger?" from the Kylo Ren action figure; I think that's spoken during the scene where he meets Rey. I think he's possibly met her before, or has known of her.

Edit: I'm starting to think most aren't giving Poe Dameron much thought due to knowing his last name. But I think he's the character that ties all of the stories together. I mean, he does get captured in the beginning of the movie by Stormtroopers. Which leads to Finn meeting Rey, because Poe conspires with Finn to escape. I'm just not sure if Poe does, or if only Finn ends up going AWOL or whatever. Actually, I think Poe and BB-8 try to escape together, separately from Finn, and BB-8 ends up landing on Jakku while Poe is left behind. Why? Because BB-8 is the mission for Poe. BB-8 conceals

[Show spoiler]Anakin/Luke's lightsaber similarly to R2-D2 in RotJ.

Not sure if that's a forgotten spoiler, but I hid it just in case. So, Rey finds BB-8 crash sight, while Finn crashes elsewhere and walks to Rey's village.

Kylo Ren interrogates Poe, and then leads along with Captain Phasma a brigade in search of BB-8 and Finn. The trio are pursued, and somehow find the Millennium Falcon. Later that day Kylo Ren fails to find either and destroys Rey's village. Possibly featuring Max Von Sydow's character in the process.

[Show spoiler]Oh my, gosh!

Rey already knows Han and Chewie! They're playing Ben Kenobi's role. Han and Chewie have been looking over Rey like Ben did with Luke! That's how they're probably introduced. This is mirror ANH as did TPM and vice versa.

So, then they travel to Maz Katana's place. They're ambushed afterwards. Finn, Chewie, and Han are captured momentarily until Poe Dameron and fellow X-Wing squad come in and save them. Then the battle. Simultaneously as that's happening, Kylo Ren has been stalking Rey and encounters her. She finds a blaster or something, and is possibly rescued by someone as well for Kylo to retreat. Or he captures her. The gang gets back together and travel to the planet where Leia, C-3PO and R2-D2 are located. Han and Leia reunite. The gang then plan an attack on the Starkiller base and possible rescue plan for Rey. Maybe Finn goes after Rey? And that's how he runs into or Kylo lures Finn into a trap. Which in return possibly explains

[Show spoiler]who Rey is crying

over. I still can't guess who will be take the death placement of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

If any of that is right, I figured it out by only the footage, toys, and small leaked spoilers. As well as watching the Star Trek final trailers for clues to how J.J. Abrams handles his trailer editing process. So, if any of that actually transpires; I'm certainly not going to watch anything for Episode VIII.

I think it's just what you're used to. I could easily see Ralph McQuarrie putting the red arm in one of his concept paintings, and that's the heaviest influence I see on all the production art so far, which makes me happy.

I'll bet you a billion dollars and the rights to the movie based on our bet that he isn't. It's more likely that Jabba is Kylo than Luke being Kylo.

[A Sith Lord?]

Would be funny if Luke is actually Kylo, and he's just doing this to test and train Poe, Finn, and Rey. Their "force awakening".

[BB-8]

The Finn/Rey vs Kylo Ren image looks extremely photoshopped to me.

nah, it's official still

Haha I actually thought of that before...

[Show spoiler]Like I thought maybe he dies in the TFA film and his force ghost shows up toward the end. Kinda like Anakin, Yoda and Ben did at the end of Jedi.

This is the first film of a new trilogy, so your best bets should be inspired by ANH and TPM. TFA has so many things reminiscent of those two—it's not a coincidence. Especially considering TPM used the same story (for the most part) from ANH's.

Main plot: Main character longs for something more while living a rather mundane life. They meet or know of a wiser character, who comes into the picture that takes them on a journey. Teaching them new information in the process. While a kid friendly comedic character holds the key mcguffin that will save the heroes in the end from their evil pursuers.

In this case, we have two main heroes, Rey and Finn, that are striving for something more. BB-8 is the key, just as R2-D2 was in ANH and Jar-Jar was in TPM.

Poe Dameron is taking Luke's place as a pilot, as well as Leia's place since he becomes captured and BB-8 is most likely his droid. Like R2 was to Leia, in a way.

So, expect the same beats as ANH and TPM (with more action since we have the technology now), a major supporting character's death, and a happy ending.

I think people don't want to believe that. But from putting all the pieces, that I know of together, we're getting the same story for the first chapter of this trilogy. And as the saying goes; "if it ain't broke don't fix it!"

Yes, but it's still photoshopped. Same with shot of the troopers firing.

So princess Leia is called 'the commander' in this?

Of course, being a princess is weak and insulting to females. To be truly strong a female must command an army and boss people around. About time movies caught up with the modern world.

This picture pretty much confirms to me that Rey is crying over Finn in that scene, and Finn may well be either dead or seriously injured.

It's more that the only thing she is the princess of is an asteroid field, also she is a general not a commander.

[Geoff D]

Will she be 'General Organa', 'Organa-Solo', what? Eeeeek!!!
