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.

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.

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
