Not Hard to See, the Future is
Hey guys,
Because I'm petty af, I made a list of predictions we had based on TFA and different developments that have thus far been proven right. Feel free to add on to anything I missed.
In no particular order:
1. Kylo’s scar moved for aesthetic reasons (RJ on twitter)
2. Rose and Finn will be together (every interview of them ever, TLJ panel)
3. Finn and Rey just had a friendship (JB interview)
4. Luke is unstable/dark (trailer, MSW leaks)
5. Rey reunion with Luke won’t be sunshine and daisies (Daisy in TLJ panel)
6. Kylo goes to Ach-To (MSW, airport pictures)
7. Kylo was conflicted in killing Han (JJ commentary)
8. Kylo is vulnerable (Swdatabase.com)
9. Kylo and Rey have a connection/found the force together (Swdatabase.com, Daisy interview)
10. Rey is not related to Luke (um, THE MOVIE/Daisy says he has no idea who she is, JJ press conference)
11. They’re hiding Kylo (we’ve seen him but not heard from him/Adam)
12. Ben was not evil from birth (Bloodline, Aftermath)
13. Finn is a big deal…in the Resistance and not destined to be a jedi (JB in TLJ panel)
14. Rey’s hair will be down showing her maturity into womanhood after her TFA duel with Kylo (infamous box)
15. Rey wearing more grey/darker color clothing (infamous ornament/box)
16. The Jedi concept evolving (Luke, "Time for the Jedi to end" and lore)
17. Tree of knowledge/books/journal of whills(?) (trailer)
18. Kylo having a more mobile costume
19. Kylo depicted as a sort of prince (JJ commentary)
20. Rey never trained at Luke’s academy (Daisy said they've never met)
21. Kylo’s scar wouldn’t be horrific, he’s not blind, no sith eyes (trailer, teaser poster, Battlefront promo)
22. Yin/yang, balance of light and dark in Rey and Kylo (trailer "the light, the darkness, the balance")
23. Rey will be torn between Luke and Kylo (teaser poster, MSW leaks)
24. Han and Leia were not always present for Ben, but they weren't terrible parents (JJ commentary)
25. Luke is not the main character (Mark Hamil at the TLJ panel and other times)
26. Kylo has a villainous crush on Rey (Pablo says go with what we see in TFA, TV tropes, JJ commentary, the movie...)

LOL, this is beautiful. I also made a small crossword with some of these + a few gloaty remarks. Because I'm like that.

Re: Not Hard to See, the Future is
Oh I like #12 on the crossword puzzle after some of the responses elsewhere that gave me flashbacks to being in school and getting into arguments in class. Off the top of my head because I like taxonomies:
3.5 Rey is not destined/intended to be a Strong Female Character trope.
25.5 Leia will be brought into focus via the ST for her central role and impact on the Force Plot and legacy of the Jedi
26.5 The 'you need a teacher' offer is still on the table and will be a major part of the Ache-to plot

Rey is not a Solo [yet] (anyone with eyes; Daisy interview where she states "Have you seen the movie??")

Re: Not Hard to See, the Future is
Great half-posts guys! Here's some more I just remembered:
27. Jyn is not Rey's mom (RO, Felicity, lol)
28. They were just rocks on Ach-To, not Rey's mom's grave (PABLO)
29. Leia did not cheat on Han and have Rey with someone else (PABLO...and duh)
30. Lucasfilm uses elements of mythology, literary tropes, and foreshadowing (George Lucas and Pablo)
31. Luke temple burning and Rey being left on Jakku are completely unrelated (Pablo)
32. Starkiller Base was a metaphor for Kylo (JJ commentary)
33. SNOKE IS NOT PLAGUEIS (Pablo)
*adding Rey of Light side*
34. Rey is not a Solo (Daisy's ET interview)
35. Rey and Kylo's duel in TFA had sexual undertones:

36. Pablo stating Kylo's sexuality can be determined by watching TFA (and no, he's not into Hux!)

@Xylo Ren I had nearly forgotten about that lovely JJ quote. God bless you.

That, in fact, might be the most apt way of looking at the ST: JJ and Rian's smutty Star Wars fan fiction, starring Kylo Ren as JJ' s self-insert and Rey as his #dreamwoman.
Now I'm just imagining Kylo unmasking and under the helmet it's J.J.
That means we're definitely getting a kiss.

37. Hidden hearts in every Reylo scene. Kylo's eyes in the interrogation, hearts in the trees, and cliffside ❤️.

Re: Not Hard to See, the Future is
Oh wait, another one. When they say that it'll be like ESB, they don't mean it literally. More like how they hired a writer/director who is like the writers and director for that movie. Known for writing stories that focus more on the emotional lives of the characters and which explore deeper emotional/philosophical themes through the story being told. Also possibly more in line with the spirit of Irving Kershner's comment to Wired Magazine that he wasn't interested in making a space opera, he wanted to tell a Fairy Tale.

It's like that thing about Disney and subliminal messages. Everything goes through the House of Mouse to be approved at some point.
Except TFA's novelization.



Re: Not Hard to See, the Future is
Great stuff @Xylo Ren and @FrolickingFizzgig
Don't know if it was mentioned:
- Rey and Finn won't spent time together in TLJ, holding hands and running across the space.
- Kylo not becoming Vader 2.0. after killing Han

39. Working title space bear stands for panda bear which stands for yin and yang, light and dark. And anyone remember this thread?

Re: Not Hard to See, the Future is
On Larry King, when asked what aspect of Kylo Ren he was most excited for fans to see in the next film, AD's first answer was "humanity". He then moved on discussions he had with the directors (JJ and Rian) about terrorism and how both sides feel justified to do whatever because they think they are right. Does not spell Kylo = Vader 2.0 in the next movie and good vs evil is clear cut to me. AD also mentions being wary of anyone claiming to be right in another interview about the US elections. Gray territories...
For now, I'd say that the poster is like the biggest confirmation to date of us reading the story right. I have a big grin on my face every time I look at it. Big angry Luke, big human Kylo, Rey joining them with a lightsaber that looks crossguard and a red background. But what are these 3 doing together and in this layout? I don't understand. Kylo should have been all small in a corner with his helmet on looking menacing and Luke all shiny knight with Rey and Finn ready to strike him. I just can't
I would have loved to see some faces when they first saw it. Big jab.

Come to think about it, they're not really subtle when they market Kylo's redemption and Kylo/Rey like this:



Lol these are kind of like sledgehammers.
