quote:My guess is a major character dies, and in response, Rey reveals herself as being a powerful, yet untrained, Jedi, and that is the hope that is found. (Even though so-and-so died and it looks like all hope died with him/her, in fact, hope is reborn because now we have this badass ally to fight for us). Another guess, is that she will have some psychological block to using the force. People will tell her they can feel it in her but she can't unleash it.
From the international trailer: "Hope is not lost today, it is found". Safe to assume that is a direct reference to Luke in the same way A New Hope is also referring to Luke. The best thing about all this Luke secrecy is the audience (especially the day 1 crowd that I will be a part of) is gonna lose their mind when he shows up finally.
A 2nd viewing will be necessary simply because I'll probably miss certain dialogue pieces because of audience cheering! At least I hope so... I'll be disappointed if the theater I'm in isn't that kind of audience opening night.
It could be Finn who is killed in the duel with Kylo (though I would be surprised), or somebody else (perhaps Han, but that would suck as he is the best character in the series by far). I don't think we have any way of knowing right now, as the trailers could be intentionally misleading on this point.
