J.J. Abrams Knows Who Rey’s Parents Are in Star Wars

Also, he’s going to have to beef up for the role: “My part in the next film will be much more physical so I might be in the gym a bit more”. io9 points out that one of the biggest potential pieces of new information here is that, judging from all the scribbling and brainstorming he’s been doing, it sounds like Trevorrow might be penning the script in addition to directing. “Rey is a character that is important in this universe, not just in the context of ‘The Force Awakens, ‘ but in the entire galaxy”. Star Wars: The Force Awakens might have always been bound to bring in billions, but the blending of visual effects makes it a movie worth watching over and over again. Star Wars 8 will be directed by Rian Johnson and is scheduled to premiere on 26 May 2017.

“We’re going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying”, Trevorrow told Entertainment Tonight.

When fans walked out of theaters after seeing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” many started to speculate who Rey could be and who her parents are.

Since the film’s December 18 release, fans have come up with many theories about the source of Rey’s Jedi powers. The answers as to who Rey really is will most likely be answered in the sequel, “Star Wars Episode 8”.

Yet, there is still a possibility that “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will rise to the top spot as the highest grossing films due to the fact that the movie is still earning a month after it was released.

In a new trailer for the return of season two, which returns on January 20, we see Ezra wielding a green lightsaber with the same crossguard design of Kylo Ren’s now iconic weapon. “But I showed her “Star Wars” Episode 4, the original ‘Star Wars” … and she was, ‘Eh.’ She didn’t hate it, but she was like, ‘Eh, I’m done'”.

Speaking to British Vogue, the 23-year-old Peckham-born actor also said he might have to get in training for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is due to begin filming within weeks.
