STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Hits $1.54B Worldwide; Tops THE AVENGERS & FURIOUS 7

Many are coming up with great theories about Rey's parental origin and how they require some type of “flashback” in future films. To me, SW does not require flashbacks as it’s story continuously moves forward (unless the Force allows visions of the past and future, but even then it’s very vague and requires the audience to brainstorm). Thinking about this brought me to Obi-Wan in Episodes IV and V – He simply explains the Force, Clone Wars, Anakin, Leia’s relation to Luke, that he was trained by Yoda and much more. This is a very simple storytelling device that cause for no objection, so why not continue to use it? I can totally see Luke or maybe a Force Ghost explain to Rey her parentage without any flashbacks.

That being said, I had an idea that would allow Rey to have been born many, many years before we think she was. It’s very simple, CARBONITE. Think about it – She could have been trained how to use the force as a very young girl, allowing her to survive the freezing process. She could also be the daughter of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, someone from the Jedi council or even earlier than that! If this was the case, it’s possible she could have been freed from carbonite and someone left her on Jakku for whatever reason. Since she was so young before being frozen, it makes total sense she wouldn't remember her training or parents. Again, this is something that could be explained to her in a variety of ways instead of using flashbacks.

Anyway, this is my theory about Rey. Am I completely nuts? Let me know! Stay awesome.

@Moneypelly

Plain and simple Rey is either the daughter of Luke or Obi's grand daughter! I really wished they would have fleshed out the secret relationship Obi had in the movies......they did touch on it in the Clone Wars cartoons.

As far as FINN he is not force sensitive IMO! And it will turn out his Lando's son.....is that racist?

Avatar had such a good movie because the theatre was the only place that you could see the 3D, so you had to go back if you wanted to see it again. It sure wasn't because it was a good movie.

Can someone add graphs to these numbers and color I like color.

Disney right now:

JoeMomma29 - Now that I can see happening.

NiklanderReborn - But at this point, the movie focused quite a bit on Rey's parents and how she kept on waiting for them to return. Sooner or later, we'll have to find out her lineage.

All I know is @blackandyellow loved this movie to death!!!!! He said it was better than getting sexually assaulted by Ben. R. in a bathroom.

I've done my part by watching it 0 times.

It...it...it just can't be topped.



Well star wars...

@0megaDaGr0dd - "@Embajador You spelled 12-13 Miami Heat wrong"

Shoooot, even before Avatar's re-release it was sitting at $2,749,064,328 billion dollars only increasing a god $38+ million after it's re-release. PLUS tickets are even a "bit" more expensive than they were back in 2009 so Star Wars had it made easy for them.

Oh yeah, if anything I said above was wrong you can feel more than free to correct me. Wouldn't be the first time I messed up on Box Office numbers. lol

Inb4 @FrozenJoy posts that same, [frick]ing Azula gif.

And ehhh, I doubt the sequels will make more than the first. The third film might have a chance but I don't see the sequel making more.

@Th0rOdinson

I doubt Infinity War part 1 will make than AOU.
