Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1565696, member: 2141"] I agree that Daisey did a very good job. Of course, that makes me wonder how good Padme's character in Episodes I - III could have been if Natalie Portman was given a half-way decent script because she is one heck of an actress. I went into the movie thinking that Rey was Han & Leia's daughter and Kylo was her brother; but, based on the movie, I now am pretty much set that she is Luke's daughter. No way Han & Leia would have not acknowledged her as theirs before Han died. As for being Obi-wan's granddaughter, that's too much of a stretch for me unless we learn that Jakku is actually Tatooine. I also think she went through training at the Academy and survived. Whoever left her there, wiped her memories and somehow blocked/bound her natural force skills. I think when Kylo tried to mind-probe her, he inadvertently broke those blocks, which would explain how her skills exponentially grew in a 24 hour period. It also makes me think that Kylo was not the person to leave her in Jakku because he would have known about such a block. Instead, he suspects who she is; but, in his arrogance, thinking that he is stronger that her, pushes the mind probe too far and 'awakens' her much to his chagrin and near demise. [/QUOTE]
