not only is kylo ren the son of han and leia...

finn is the son of lando and leia

and rey is the daughter of luke and leia, i mean luke and someone that isn't his sister...

also isn't warwick davis supposed to be in this?

Yes, Warwick Davis is playing as cameo of Warwick Davis.

Isn't Christoph Waltz also playing Poe Dameron's step brother as well? Hollywood is so uncreative these days.

Wait. I thought BB8 was the son of Leia and R2?

Leia is a f***ing slut, man. All respect lost.

leia's baby hole must be the size of the deathstar by now after "expanding the star wars universe"

While it remains to be seen if they are able to, from everything that I've seen so far, sure seems like they're meeting their requirements.

That was really the only requirement Larry and I imposed on each other: The movie needed to be delightful. It was not about explaining everything away, not about introducing a certain number of toys for a corporation, not about trying to appease anyone. This has only ever been about what gets us excited.

Not so subtle dig at Lucas in there too.

I went to the mall yesterday and it made me happy that every other store had Star Wars things. I saw a nifty school supply kit that made me want to go back to school just so I can buy and use it, lol.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’: J.J. Abrams and Mark Hamill on the Skywalker You’re Looking For

Man. This movie is really gonna hinge on the Luke reveal...

Man. This movie is really gonna hinge on the Luke reveal...

I think this movie is really going to hinge on if it's a compelling original story, or an unoriginal retread of A New Hope with elements of Empire. Regardless of Luke is bad or good, if the movie is compelling up until that point than we will eat up the reveal. If the movie is lousy or if it's repeating things we've seen in past Star Wars films, the reveal will come off as laughable. As long as Luke doesn't utter the words "I am your father" at any point, we should be good.
