Can I point out that han is the orange dotted line?
"FUCKING FINN", except I see Finn becoming more a Jedi alongside Rey, his empathy being a key trait to the Jedi code as is Rey's alleged ties to the Skywalker line.
all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber
I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows
leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.
The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”
Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”
Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.
“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT
Because girl.
“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”
“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive
Who TF thinks Leia isn’t force-sensitive???!?!?!??!?! It’s literally right there, in the original trilogy. She has just as much Force as Luke. I don’t necessarily think she needs to develop it, really, because she is just as badass as a General/politician, but she certainly has it.
I think she has developed it. Just not by following the path of the Jedi.
One of the things I think Star Wars should explore goes back to “Bring balance to the Force.” As much as the prequels sucked, what they did give us was the Jedi being messed up.
The Jedi having degenerated into this dogmatic, insular mess of repressing emotions at all cost.
They misunderstood the prophecy. Anakin did bring balance to the Force - by destroying the Jedi. Oops.
One of the things we see in the new movie is the character of Maz Kanata.
She is clearly Force sensitive. She is clearly not a Jedi.
Leia - strong in the Force, not a Jedi. Because she knows she can do more good for the Light as a general and politician - that’s where her skills are.
Rey is going to be a Jedi. She’s probably going to be the one who works out how to bring them back without it happening all over again.
But what is Finn going to be? There’s pretty solid evidence that Finn is Force sensitive.
Will he be a Jedi or something else?
Will we finally see that there are many ways to use the Force.
“That’s not how the Force works.”
Isn’t it?
Anakin joined both orders, Jedi and Sith, to learn how to protect what he loves, and then he burned both orders to the ground when they wouldn’t let him love.
The Jedi rejected love as being insufficiently selfless; the Sith rejected love as being insufficiently selfish. Anakin brought balance to the Force in two steps, tearing the dogma of each to the ground around him, for love.
The balance point of the Force is love.
Luke uses it, guided by love, to be a warrior, knight, and teacher.
Leia uses it, guided by love, to be a stateswoman, general, and visionary.
Rey and Finn will use it, guided by love, to be whatever they want to be.
The imbalance was everyone, Jedi and Sith alike, who sought out children, took them from their lives, and told them, because you have this power, this is the life you must lead.” Balance means keeping you life and keeping your loved ones, and letting your heart show you the proper path.
Also LEIA IS FORCE SENSITIVE AS FRICK.

so i was wondering where rey learned to understand binary (the language of astromech droids) because she’s a lone scavenger living on a desert planet and i was thinking that maybe sometime in the course of her star destroyer spelunking adventures, let’s say she’s 14 years old; she finds part of an astromech droid that’s still functioning just enough to talk. so she decides not to trade it to unkar plutt for portions and takes it home instead, cleans it up. hooks it up to an old comm screen so she can see what it’s saying while she’s still learning all its beeps and whistles. and then at the end of a long day, when she gets home, she scrubs the sand off her face, pours the sand out of her boots, and just sits and talks to her barely-functioning astromech droid, whose knowledge is thirty years old: coruscant, the seat of the empire (what empire?) updates on the construction of the death star. bounty notices for han solo, smuggler. the imperial senate, disbanded (but what about the new senate?)
the hot, dry air of jakku, making mirages of old memories just outside the shell of her AT-AT. the desert so quiet that you can hear sand sliding down the dunes, in soft silky layers. rey, scraping crumbs off her plate with her fingertips, pressing her droid with more questions. what’s naboo? what’s a forest? how big is a forest? what’s a tree? how many trees are there? (no one else tells her about these things. no one else talks to her.) the droids go everywhere, she realizes. they see everything and keep everything, scavengers of memory and information, of events and people and ideas. she learns binary until she gets good enough to detach the comm screen and just listen; during the day she quietly practices binary to herself, whistling each beep and tone as she hikes the dunes to the star destroyers, her calves aching. when she gets home, the droid greets her with a happy beep. for a few months, it feels nice, strange, hopeful. it feels odd to have someone waiting for her. refreshing, almost.
and then one day rey comes home and the astromech droid doesn’t beep, no whistle of greeting. the light in its glassy round eye is dark. the fuel cells are dead. her heart sinks. she searches the star destroyer endlessly for another working fuel cell, tries to trade for them at niima outpost, but to no avail: the model is too old, and any fuel cells that could work are all being used for other things. that night she wears her x-wing helmet and sniffs, watching the stars, wrestling with hope and despair in equal measure; in the morning she drags the droid to unkar plutt and trades its parts for twelve portions. the first portion is bitter and tasteless, more so than usual, but it’s alright, rey thinks. her friend even fed her.
and now she talks to all the astromech droids that pass through niima outpost. they don’t mind talking to her. they’re happy to tell her how hyperdrives work, what a compressor does, how to fix an acceleration compensator. and every time she hopes that maybe, the droid will end up on a distant planet somewhere else, and it’ll mention a girl on jakku, a girl who polished its casing and oiled its hinges, a girl who’s been waiting for a long time, and someone will look up with a twinge of recognition and realizeit’s time to go back. it’s time for her to come home… it never happens. but rey tries anyway, because the droids go everywhere, see everything, meet everyone… so she stays, and waits.
