Is the character of Rey worth continuing? There wasn't much compelling or unique about her.

I would rather start from scratch with a new female protagonist.


She's literally the continuation of the Jedi into the next era. And you have Daisy attached to that character, who is great.

Rather, I should say that *Ridley* is great in the role, and the character could be.

There is so much they could have done with that character had they given her a good backstory. There's still more they can do, but anchoring her to anyone - let alone Palpatine - from the OT was a mistake.

They should have started fresh with her character. It would have been much better had she been tied to Max von Sydow's character somehow.

I think they boxed her in too much with the Palpatine connection.

If that has been a prevalent fan theory, JJ would have shoehorned it in there somehow.

Agreed. So much missed opportunity with Max.

From my brother, a private school teacher:

In chapel today, the priest held his arms out, perpendicular to the rest of his body, so that his black robes hung down like wings. He asked, "Who do my priest's robes remind you of?" The answer he wanted was "Harry Potter." The answer he got (from a KINDERGARTNER) was "Darth Sidious."

Wow. Hayden getting all kinds of play. Honestly, it's pretty cool seeing him get a second chance at the character like this (between Obi-Wan and Ahsoka).

I wonder if they will leverage Anakin's history with Thrawn in that story

I hope this is all leading up to a Vader in his prime series hunting down Jedi Kill Bill style.

THIS! So much this!

Hell we need to give the same love to little Annie actor as well. Both those dudes deserve to be welcomed back to Star Wars.

I can't wait to see Hayden back!

That means glorious flashbacks set in the PT era, maybe even the OT.

Would love to see some stuff directly after their confrontation in Rebels.

The way they seamlessly blended the real Order 66 with the cartoon version in the last season of Clone Wars makes me think they could do the reverse here. S

I have no son. However, my boston terrier does have a strange fascination with my left hand and is constantly attacking it. Not my right hand; just my left hand. True story.

I'm hoping for a few live action recreations of pieces of scenes like this.

Anakin didn't think he had a son either for 20 years or so.
