-During the duel on that ocean place, why did Kylo Ren become a good guy after Rey cheap spotted him? His mom's love made him realize the error of his ways
-Why did Leia die mid way? It took too much energy for her to reach out to Ren
-Why did Rey die at the end? It took too much energy for her to kill Palpatine
-Why did Kylo Ren die at the end? It took too much energy for him to bring Rey back to life
-Was Wedge with the resistance or one of the fighters recruited by Lando? One of the fighters Lando brought
-Where did Leia get her lightsaber? She built it after RotJ
-Where did the yellow lightsaber come from? Rey built it sometime after the battle
-What was Finns secret? This I'm not really sure. I thought he was gonna confess his love for Rey, but it seems like they dropped that
-Were old Jedi like Obi Wan, Yoda, Mace, and Quigonn referenced? I dunno about Qui-Gon, but I heard the other's voices when Rey was calling for their help
-Where the hell did all of Palpatines powers come from? He almost solod the whole fleet Apparently killing a Sith gives you the strength of all the previous Sith?
-Was Palpatines son ever referenced in the past? He got like 5 seconds of screentime. Nope

he absorbed Rey and Bens dark side power. He basically had all the dark side of the force within him

So 3 people died cuz they used up all their energy? Seems anti climatic

4 if you count Luke

Nevermind that that shit was never even mentioned as a possibility until TLJ, now everyone dies from Forcing too hard

Welcome to the Disney trilogy

I heard that what actually happened was they shot the stuff with Leia talking to Ben for TFA but decided not to use it. Then when Carrie Fisher died unexpectedly and they had not finished her role, it had to be rewritten and they basically wrote this idea around what they already had. That's why that part just comes up with no warning and seems out of place.

-Was Wedge with the resistance or one of the fighters recruited by Lando? He was in the Falcon at the end operating one of the guns. Same actor from the OT.
-What was Finns secret? I think it's that he's force sensitive too. He could sense Rey, the location of the communicator dish and some other things.
-Were old Jedi like Obi Wan, Yoda, Mace, and Quigonn referenced? Yes, along with some of the cartoon characters like Ahsoka and Kanan
-Was Palpatines son ever referenced in the past? He got like 5 seconds of screentime. Nope

Ahsoka being one of the voices heard at the end basically means they killed her off offscreen

I think it was confirmed in an interview that Finn was going to say he was Force sensitive.

I mean it's been a long ass time. Idk about how her species ages but she's like 15-20 years older than Luke/Leia/Han.

As far as Palpatine's power up, I assume they'll explain it in the novelization. If I had to guess, I'd say his powers were enhanced by being on the Sith planet.

-During the duel on that ocean place, why did Kylo Ren become a good guy after Rey cheap spotted him?

Because Leia asked him nicely

-Why did Leia die mid way?

Same reason Luke died. She tried too hard.

-Why did Rey die at the end?

Palp sucked her lifeforce

-Why did Kylo Ren die at the end?
He smooched his lifeforce into Rey

-Was Wedge with the resistance or one of the fighters recruited by Lando?
Must have been recruited by Lando bc at the end of TLJ the resistance was about 15 people.

-Where did Leia get her lightsaber?
that's a good question...for another time.
HA, jk but presumably she just made it after training with Luke for a bit like all Jedi.

-Where did the yellow lightsaber come from?
Rey made it

-What was Finns secret?
He was never a stormtrooper. Just a janitor.

-Were old Jedi like Obi Wan, Yoda, Mace, and Quigonn referenced?
They spoke to Rey, so yeah

-Where the hell did all of Palpatines powers come from? He almost solod the whole fleet
Ass pulls.

-Was Palpatines son ever referenced in the past? He got like 5 seconds of screentime.
no lol. That shit was made up last second solely for this movie.

My headcanon is that Rey isn't a granddaughter in the traditional sense

I figured while watching the film that as opposed to Sheev clapping cheeks and having a kid then that kid having a kid, that he just reached out through the force and did his ol Anakin thing again

---

Nah bro. My main man Sheev claps them cheeks hard.

Agreed, he probably did his Jesus virgin birth stuff to another woman and that made Rey's dad. So Rey's dad and Anakin are basically half-brothers. And that makes Rey and Ben Solo like second cousins or something.

This was one of my issues with the movie that I hadn't really seen mentioned anywhere.

You're Standing on the surface of a Star Destroyer in outer space.

You should be:

Dead since there is no oxygen
Frozen since the temperature is below zero
Floating around since there is no gravity

I thought they were still in the atmosphere since they didn't get the chance to take off with that satellite thing.

Why though? It's not like Sheev was infertile or anything.

Why would he have to create a son, when he had Sly Moore always around by his side? I mean, Dark Side Rey looks just like her.

In the EU, they used IVF with Sly to create his son, but he was some sinister fuck. The son in this looked like a docile normal dude.

On top of that, the way she fights Kylo in TFA is exactly like Sheev does vs Mace Windu in RotS. And she could use Force lightning and Anakin couldn't. I think Anakin was an experiment, while this was just the product of being human and genetics.
