At least with Han & Chewie showing up on the Falcon I can just assume they always had a search for the ship going in their new freighter's computer. So, when it got powered up on Jakku they got a signal, and eventually tracked it in space afterwards.

It'll be even more front loaded IMO, because most people like TFA and will also want to finally see Luke have a larger role in the new film. Whether it ends up passing where TFA finishes will remain to be seen. It'll certainly have stronger competition in the weeks following its release due to...

To be fair, we got far less for Alderaan aside from Leia's quick "peaceful" plea.

I'm actually OK with this, because I thought the actors "said" everything that the first meeting needed to have said with their eyes/faces (Rey's pleading/desire/willingness to learn, Luke's reticence/pain/burden). Though I get why it's also disappointing. It's kinda crazy that we have another...

It could also have easily been seen by Luke as a mistake of the Jedi Order to have that restriction. In the EU that is still canon, it states that this was not always the way the Jedi handled marriage. http://scifi.about.com/od/starwarsglossaryandfaq/a/Star-Wars-FAQ_Why-Cant-Jedi-Marry.htm...

I think Leia embraces Rey simply because she recognizes that she must be the girl that Han helped rescue and lost his life doing so. Imagine it from Rey's perspective - here's this woman she hardly knew that may partially blame her for the loss of the father of her now-evil child, but instead of...

The shot of Kylo Ren igniting the lightsaber from the first trailer is in the film, it just isn't the full length of the shot in the trailer. Basically, only a brief moment of it is there after the lightsaber is already on.

Devin Faraci uses the details gleaned from wookiepedia entries to fill in some history of the First Order and New Republic post-RotJ: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/12/18/what-the-hell-is-the-story-with-the-resistance-and-the-first-order-in-the-f

It makes sense though: he was programmed to awaken when someone with the finished map sought out Luke. If Von Sydow's character had it, Luke would have assumed he would give it to the right person at the right time. A person like Rey. It didn't shake out like that exactly, but there ya go...

Yeah, that's very clear at the beginning on second viewing. First viewing it gets lost in so much newness of the first 20 minutes.

The official Von Sydow character bio: LOR SAN TEKKA A legendary traveler and explorer, Lor San Tekka is a longtime ally of the New Republic and the Resistance. After the Battle of Endor, San Tekka helped Luke Skywalker recover secret Jedi lore that the Empire had tried to erase, and Leia...

Not before TFA. There's one line in the new film where they refer to the destruction of the Republic in the Hosnian system.

He may or may not be his daughter, but I'm 100% certain she was one of his younger students when Ben/Kylo betrayed them. My guess is that she (and others?) were hidden at that time, and Luke knew (through a vision?) that if he left the right Force breadcrumbs she (or another student?) would seek...

Delivered exactly what I wanted in its fun action-adventurism and characters who propel the story and mythos forward, leaving me ready to watch Episode VIII now if it was available. Certainly not a perfect movie, as a few of the (otherwise mostly very well done) humorous banters didn't hit for...
