“The Saga films focus on the Skywalker family saga. The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous six films.The Force AwakensfollowsReturn of the Jediand continues that generational story. The Anthology films offer opportunities to explore fresh characters, new storylines and a variety of genres inside theStar Warsuniverse.”
What’s interesting about this isLuke Skywalkeris the only character from the original trilogy that hasn’t been seen in any photos or official footage so far. There have been plenty of rumors about his place in the story, none of which have been confirmed, but the fact that we haven’t seen any images or footage of this iconic character is certainly peculiar. And, since we don’t know anything official about Skywalker yet, we don’t know who may be a part of his new family. Still, since we don’t know the last names of Rey and Finn’s characters yet, many have speculated they are related to either Luke Skywalker or other iconic characters from the original trilogy.
Speaking of character names,Cinelinxreveals that Finn may not have a surname at all. Their report claims that Finn’s technical “name,” as far as the First Order is concerned, is FN-2187, which he apparently used to create the nickname Finn. This unconfirmed report also reveals that the First Order trains their Stormtroopers in how to use a light saber, which means that Finn likely isn’t any sort of Jedi candidate, which was confirmed whentrading cardphotos surfaced that revealed he wasn’t part of the Jedi Order.
What do you think of these new details? Do you have any theories about who could be a part of Luke Skywalker’s family inStar Wars: The Force Awakens? Stay tuned for the third trailer, debuting sometime this fall, as we continue the countdown towards this highly-anticipated December 18 release.
