star wars - Are Rey and Luke Skywalker Connected?



Star Wars: The Force Awakens, what is the connection Between Rey and Luke Skywalker? Are they related?



Answer



Well, there are speculations that Rey is Luke's daughter... You might be able to infer it from how strong Rey is with the force. In the trailer, Luke says that the force runs strong in his family: His father, his sister, and himself. And he seems to be talking to someone, saying it runs in him/her as well. That's why Kylo Ren was so strong: because of Leia.


Also, in the movie, Maz had Luke's lightsaber in her keeping, and it called to Rey, when it has never done that for anyone before. When this was found out, Maz also explained to Rey that what she was looking for was not in the past, on Jakku, where someone had 'abandoned' her as a child. Instead, it was in the future. And since Maz wanted her to help find Luke, that might have been a hint that Rey is Luke's daughter.


It is also very possible if you take into account the plot around Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo. His mom is Leia Organa, which means his uncle and ex-mentor is Luke. So, in the interest of plot development and storyline, it would be pretty ironic to see Kylo Ren face off against his cousin, who will probably be Luke's new apprentice. It could be a throwback to when Anakin, Obi-Wan's old apprentice, faced off against Luke, Obi-Wan's last apprentice.


Another possible point, many have marked the similarity between Jakku, and Luke and Anakin's home planet, Tatooine. So... Hehehe you can draw your own conclusions...


But watching the trailer and the movie, especially where it is purposely not mentioned who left Rey on Jakku, that this particular connection is not one that will be made so soon. However, and this is my personal take, if the Moviemakers are smart, they would have dropped all these hints on purpose to make everyone think Rey is Luke's daughter. But at the same time, they would have come up with a totally different, yet plausible explanation, that will blow us all away. If they're smart.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

harry potter - What is the difference between Diffindo and Sectumsempra?

In the Harry Potter books, Diffindo is called the 'Severing Charm' and it’s most commonly used to cut ropes and the like. However, in the last book Hermione uses it on Ron but misses, creating a 'slash in his jeans' and his knee gets cut, causing him to 'roar in pain'. We've only seen Sectumsempra used once on screen when Harry directly uses it on Malfoy in the sixth book, but there it's mentioned that he is 'waving his wand wildly'. Wouldn't Diffindo, if used in such a fashion also cause a similar effect? Similarly, if it was able to cut Ron, it would also be able to, say, chop off an ear (George's)? In that case, how are these two spells different, except for Sectumsempra seemingly used exclusively to hurt humans? Answer While Diffindo and Sectumsempra both can be countered by other spells, Diffindo is far more easily countered. Reparo, a relatively common spell, can completely reverse its effect when used once. “He pulled the old cop...
