Star Wars: The Preparedness Guide to The Force Awakens

It’s been ten years since the last time star wars let us down. My hope is that they correct their past mistakes and actually make a movie that leaves fans wanting more. Now, don’t get me wrong, star wars three was an alright movie, but one and two were just complete let downs. Star wars has begun to turn things around with their new television shows, but you cannot just make up for movies one and two with some animated TV shows. They need to put out a new movie that can correct their past mistakes, right their wrongs, and make all the terrible blotches on their reputation go away. That’s were Star Wars: The force awakens steps in at. It needs to be good, for the sake of all star wars fans sanity.

 

There are certain things that they cannot do that the internet keeps predicting. The first of these is make Kylo Ren into Luke Skywalker, or vice versa. Yeah, let’s just make the HERO from the best movies into the VILLIAN of this new one. It makes perfect sense…NOT! That would be suicide for the series. Luke Skywalker is who all the young male nerds of the world dreamt of being, and they wouldn’t dare take the image of him being a hero away from them!

 

The next theory is so dumb, I do not know where to begin. Take the most insanely annoying character from star wars and give them a name, what is it? The most obvious answer there is Jar Jar Binks. Now let’s give him a lightsaber and the force and what do we have? Stupidity. Pure, plain and simple, stupidity. He is not, I repeat, NOT the supreme sith. First reason why: There can only be two siths, so if there is Sidious and Vader that’s two. Next, HE’S TOO STUPID! It’s not him acting stupid, no, it’s him being stupid! Jar Jar isn’t a sith, at best he is a semi-amphibious humanoid creature with an incredible ability for luck of the draw, one in a million chances, who star wars kept around for one reason: Advertising. Everyone loves the clumsy idiot.

 

Now, there are a few theories out there that I think could be potentially true. The first of these is that Boba Fett is still alive. I really hope this one is true. Boba Fett was by far the coolest of the bounty hunters show to us throughout the entire franchise. However, his untimely demise makes me wonder, what if we just assumed he died and now he shows back up, older, battle worn, but better than ever. It could be a really cool character to develop when he and Luke Skywalker inevitably (if he is still alive) meet back up.

 

Another Theory out there really makes you think. What if Kylo Ren got enough of Anakin’s DNA from inside of the helmet (that courtesy of the trailers we know he has) to clone Vader. There would be another Darth Vader. One who is younger, and quite honestly, kind of awesome. No matter how you look at it, if Vader is still alive he and Luke will have to fight. No one else could kill him, it would be wrong. But what if baby cloned Vader teams up with not dead old Boba Fett? That is a fight that I would pay some serious money to watch.

 

The final theory I am going to take a look at is one that is a little, well no, a lot confusing. What if Leia had children with Lando and in true star wars fashion had twins, a boy and a girl. Then separated them at birth. Well, that give way to two interracial characters about the same age. Gee, you mean like Rey and Finn? What if Rey is Finn’s twin, who was separated at birth from her brother and her parents? Wouldn’t that explain the trailer’s question of “Who are you?” and Rey’s response of “I’m no one”? What if she doesn’t know who she is because she is left on a far side of the galaxy on a desert planet with, oh I don’t know, how about an uncle who knows about the Jedi and Sith? What if Finn were left with some well off parents who sent him into the first order. The last piece of evidence here is the fact that J.J. Abrams has made it a point that the last names of the main characters have been left out because their lineage would be made evident. This all considered, one of these two characters comes from one of the favorite characters from movies 1-6 (hopefully 4-6).

 

So, there you have it. My predictions of what can and cannot be a part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. When the movie comes out on December 18th, 2015 we’ll see how close I got, or how far I got. But for now Star Wars fans, we’ll just have to wait and see.
