Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a movie with a lot of awesome Easter Eggs and cameos, but Rey's vision was packed with more of the latter than you might realise! In a new interview, director J.J. Abrams has confirmed that the voices of Ewan McGregor, Frank Oz and, Alec Guinness are all included in the film. "The idea of the voices was, we wanted the audience to feel – but not necessarily be presented right in your face — this idea that familiar, Force-strong voices were connecting with her. At least as well as they could. You do hear a little bit of Yoda. You hear Luke yelling out, 'Nooo!' from that moment in Empire. And you hear Obi-Wan at the end say, 'Rey... these are your first steps.''" Does this mean we'll see some familiar faces return in Episode VIII and beyond as Force Ghosts? You have to believe that that's a very real possibility right now!
 
Regardless, Abrams went on to elaborate on how these lines were inserted into the movie, with the late Alex Guinness' coming from a snippet of his dialogue from A New Hope (they took the "Rey" part of "Afraid", he confirmed). However, it was McGregor who provided the words of advice to the young Jedi which followed, and the filmmaker had nothing but good things to say about drafting him in to reprise the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi one more time. "He was awesome... incredibly sweet and handsome, and all that stuff. Then he rode off on his motorcycle. Literally the coolest voice over actor ever." Abrams also revealed that Yoda voice actor Frank Oz was recruited to record new lines as Yoda ("He was very generous to say, 'Whatever makes the movie better, I’m happy to help out.'"), but those were ultimately replaced with existing ones from The Empire Strikes Back!

I'm still amazed by this movie. The new characters made it for me. It seemed like a cash grab but it was handled with extreme care.

Rey got the images and flashbacks and such because she touched the lightsaber, Luke seemed so surprised, but also happy at the end of the movie when she came with the lightsaber, Rey has the force, and she called the millennium falcon a piece of junk as soon as she saw it.
Shes 100% Luke's kid

@InfiniteMonkey did they confirm nobody had flown it? That guy owned it, so who's to say he didn't take it out every now and then and bang space chicks in it?

There is something that keeps coming up from different users that is beginning to make me want to do a Kylo Ren to my computer screen. It is in regards to Artoo waking up randomly and out of nowhere. I have watched the movie twice now and I have come to the conclusion that Artoo wakes up when Rey is present. When we are first introduced to Artoo Rey has been captured and Artoo seems to be in a coma like state. The moment that Rey lands on the planet he awakens and this leads me more to the theory that Rey is Luke's daughter and he is setting up a path so that she can find him.

Sorry to vent here but it just seems so obvious that Artoo wakes when Rey is on the planet. I don't know how others have not noticed this. Anyways, really enjoyed the movie and can't wait to see where episode 8 takes us !

@Ashes2Phoenix She is Luke's daughter. I already confirmed it in my previous comment bro!

@GalanOfTaa I don't think they would pull that. I think they set it up so she can have the revelation that Kylo Ren is her cousin, and that she watched Han Solo die, and she is gonna get extra emotional about that. Reason being that she wont have the guts to kill Kylo Ren, so Luke will have to train her up and shit, but she wont do it and he will kill someone else.

If you think that Star Trek is better than Star Wars now, you should rethink your life choices.

@marvel72 I feel like spoiler territory is gone now, because if you haven't seen it, you should know people are gonna be talking about it.


Cannot wait to see the official box office numbers though.

@INSTANTJUSTICE I meant happy not as in "O BOY O BOY I'M EXCITED" more as in somebody finally found him, which meant Artoo woke up, which means he knows there was another force user probably. He probably knew about all of the stuff that was happening, and could feel Hans death like you said.

Rey being Luke's daughter is just too obvious I don't see how she can be his daughter under the circumstances. I think there's a better chance that she's related to Obi-Wan in some way idk how but if she was I could be happy with that. The thing is we're all expecting some big twist in episode 8 but I don't really see how they could do something that could get by all of us after we're already expecting it and we have something like "I am your father" as part of our history lol. Maybe I have an inflated opinion of my fellow Star Wars fans but really don't think there's anything that could be sprung on us that somebody wouldn't have included in a theory of their's

Am I the only one who thought Rey was definitely Han Solo's daughter before and during watching the movie? It fits with the expanded universe and the two Solo twins, Luke never had a love interest after Leia (Not counting Mara Jade), and Han had so many fatherly moments, like giving her the gun and offering her a job. Kylo even made a reference to her wanting Han to be her father. But now everyone's acting like it was always obvious that she was Luke's daughter. And most of the people I watched it with thought it wasn't implied that she was related to Han at all. Now, I know Luke is almost definitely her father, but other people thought she was Han's daughter at first too, right?
