*taps mic* Hello, I know I haven't been here in ages but I have feels about Star Wars and I needed somewhere that could support actual discussion.

Spoilers for "The Force Awakens" below.

Rey and Finn and BB8 were great additions. I wish we'd gotten a little bit more about Poe instead of mostly just being told how awesome he is. I'm curious to see where they go with the next two movies.

I've read a bunch of the books in the "Extended Universe" a while back but nothing about the movie. Going in I was trying not to speculate, but the movies obviously follow the Skywalker clan (plus there's nobody else in the movies who survived who'd have super Force power) so I expected anyone showing Force sensitivity/Jedi powers would be related to either Luke or Leia. Hence, why I'm also pretty sure Rey is a Skywalker too.

I didn't expect Han's death from the beginning (just a general Big Three death), but as soon as everyone separated for the final battle I knew it was going to be Han. Plus it makes sense as it ties back into Luke's confrontation with the Emperor where he tried to make him kill Vader. I'm not sure Luke is going to survive the trilogy but he'll go more the way of Obi-Wan (a more deliberate sacrifice) or Yoda (old age) I'm thinking.
