SPOILERS - Star Wars The Force Awakens Discussion and Overanalysis
de_la_Nae:
Yes, the hand in Rey's flashback is Plutt's; his voice too.
Heavy implication from Ren's mental interrogation of Rey that she dreams of a planet that is probably the one Luke's hiding on.
Calling it now: Rey is Snoke's daughter.
Also while I'm wildly calling things, Finn is Luke's son.
I need another viewing to be sure, but I get the impression that Luke left the missing map piece with the old guy, not that he found it.
Still a big question as to what that damned map is ACTUALLY supposed to be to; remember, the Order scavenged most of it from the old Imperial records, and those sure as hell weren't pointing to Luke.
Where's Lando?
Want more Phasma, though she's probably pretty dead.
But WHO is the old guy in the beginning?
Pretty sure both Finn's duels start the same.
Rey better kick Luke's ass.
Poe/Finn, a girl can dream damnit.
Method of Madness:
Puffin for life.
Also, no way Phasma's dead.
Gladstone:
Hey! We're not allowed to discuss our favorite ships!
Although Puffin is practically canon by now, so I think that's okay.
(Seriously, Finn and Poe are the Han and Leia of this trilogy, so it has to happen.)
Pretty sure Snoke isn't human. I'd almost guess Muun, which IIRC is the species Darth Plagueis belonged to, but I doubt they would bring back a character mentioned in one scene in Return of the Sith as the main villain. Most people wouldn't remember him.
Phasma definitely isn't dead. Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong'o were both tragically underused, so I hope both get to come back--Lupita as a different, non-CGI character, though. Phasma would be a good recurring minor villain, one who keeps on Finn's trail throughout the rest of the trilogy, although I don't think they were given enough interaction in TFA. I would've liked a short scene in the beginning, after the Star Destroyer came into view (and how great was that shot, keeping with the opening shots of each film in the original trilogy but doing something different with it), but before the raid on Jakku, just a short clip of Phasma preparing the troops for the assault, pointing out to trooper FN-2187 that with his high marks she expected great things from his first mission, which would've contrasted nicely with the dressing-down she gave him after his return to the ship in shock. But by now the tiny scenes I would've added to the movie for character development would've brought the story to a crawl, so it's probably a good thing I had no part in making this film.
And I don't think Lor San Tekka is meant to be important. He just had the map, gave it to Poe, died, won't be brought up again.
de_la_Nae:
I'm not wrong, he didn't have a name spoken in the theatrical cut, right? Anyway, I'd sort of assumed that he was supposed to be a minor character from the Middle Trilogy, but I suppose not.
Dollars to donuts that it'll come up later, though. IF they bring up how Maz got the saber, which was presumably lost with Luke's hand on Bespin.
When Finn was introduced on the battlefield, I thought for a strong moment that he was going to be a recurring antagonist: the Blood-stained Stormtrooper, hunting Poe Dameron relentlessly through the trilogy.
I'm definitely not unhappy with Finn, but part of me wants that still.
BenRG:
Re.: Phasma
The Star Wars franchise has a long history of massively building up and hyping characters that turn out to be non-speaking background extras who appear, at most, in one scene for a matter of a few seconds. Yet, for some reason, Lucasfilm considered them quite important with plenty of pre-release build-up. Previous examples include Dengar and Aurra Sing.
Phasma falls into the same stereotype, although, atypically, she has spoken lines in the film. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we never see her again but that she retains high status in TFA merchandising and other spin-offs.
