@salome01w4g Yeah, Vader died before Rey was even born.

It’s 32 years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens (release-wise), so assuming they’re in “real time” (the time that passed between “events” is also 32 years) and the actors’ ages are the characters’ ages, that means Rey was only 23 in TFA. That’s almost 10 years’ difference, so…[Read more]

@belegteleri Yup. I have no idea what I’m doing. XD I think it’s more a sci-fi fantasy, because there is technology, but the characters come across races that (some) are more like fantastical creatures than “traditional” aliens. I don’t know how to explain it. 😛 I’ve wanted to write a sci-fi for a while, just the right idea never came…[Read more]

@epicaddie2
Very nice indeed. 🙂

@salome01w4g then that would make her Luke’s sister…? 😛 Luke already has a sister. I think you’re missing a generation there. 😉

@salome01w4g *grins* Nah. A little happy fuzz is psychologically healthy now and then. *sage nodding*

@salome01w4g it is a little crazy. 😛 To be clear, things like this have happened on accident before to me in my work, but yeah. It’s interesting.

@xonos-darkgrate Rey being Ren’s little sister was actually a pet theory of mine a while back. That got debunked the harder I thought about who she might be, but yes, it did cross my mind. 🙂

@perfectfifths Wow, a sci-fi? That sounds so cool! I would love to try writing a sic-fi someday!

I’m also really competitive, so I’m glad that there is something like a word-count on the NaNo website to keep me motivated 🙂

@dragon-snapper YASSSS! Love that movie.
My absolute favorite song from the LOTR soundtrack is Samwise the Brave from The Two Towers. I always want to cry when I hear it.

@perfectfifths yep, it’s totally unrelated. 😉

@kate-flournoy Wow. That’s pretty cool.

@kate-flournoy Oh, I plan to see it. It’s on Netflix. 😉 I was just wondering if it’d be important to see it before the new one.

@perfectfifths it’s completely unrelated, but you’ll be cheating yourself if you never see it at all.

@kate-flournoy Yeah, ultimately that’s what I’m gonna do, but I can’t help speculating. 😉

Now, I haven’t seen Rogue One yet. Would you recommend I do before The Last Jedi comes out, or is it so unrelated that it doesn’t matter if I never see it at all?

@perfectfifths well, excessive ‘fanning’ over anything can quickly become eye-roll-worthy. 😛
Nope, believe me. You’re not raining on my parade. Have your opinion; you’re welcome to it. 😉

I actually don’t have any theories about Rey and who she’s related to. It seems like everyone has a theory and evidence to back it up, so honestly I just…[Read more]

I have to say, I roll my eyes at shipping Rey and Kylo. Not that I’m saying it won’t happen, but I honestly find the fanning over those kinds of things a bit silly. But if it happens, then I’ll probably be for it, since it’s cannon. 😉 As of now, I don’t think so.

I hope I’m not raining on your parade, it’s only my opinion. 😛

But I am looking…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose oh… please. I mean… yeah, don’t even start me. I have so many… there are so many… yeah.

Yep. Redemption arc all the way.

@Emma-flournoy I know. I mean, I do that (which is probably why I even thought to notice) and sometimes it gets ironic on accident, but… mm-hm. It does make one think.

… guys…

I just noticed something. The meaning of the name Ren is king. The meaning of the name Rey is king’s advisor, or more literally, queen. I even went and looked it up to double check. That is… most intriguing.

@Daeus @Emma-Flournoy @Princessfoo @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Ingridrd @LifeofKatie @winter-rose

@Princessfoo ahhh… hm. Logically and theologically faulty, but then again I don’t watch Star Wars for the theological correctness. 😛
