The lightsaber progression seems to make a nice parallel to the Episode IV. Luke unknowingly receives his father's lightsaber after Anakin was wounded in battle and lost the weapon, and then Rey unknowingly received her likely? father's lightsaber after Luke was wounded in battle and lost it.
The lightsaber might become something that Kylo Ren tries to obtain if he learns that the lightsaber is Anakin/DV's since he seems to be motivated by his grandfather's legacy.
Didn't Obi Wan flat out tell him that the saber belonged to his father? He just didn't know that his dad was Darth Vader at the time.

That was Luke's lightsaber. That's why Rey handing it to him was the big final emotional scene in the movie.
I was a bit distracted by Leia's voice. Lay off the Pall Mall's, Carrie.
I think she might be Luke's daughter or, at the very least, someone who was training at Luke's academy prior to it being wiped out. She has a memory or vision of it happening, which leads me to believe that she was there and Luke was somehow able to get her out, wipe her memory, and hide her. This would set her up to closely follow Luke's arc in the OT and can also explain how she is aware of Jedi mind tricks, basic light saber stuff, etc.
I also think that Kylo Ren knows more about her than he has let on. He got super pissed when they told him Finn was with a girl on Jakku and if the above theory is true, then he might know that there is another Jedi hidden somewhere.
meh, one of the downfalls of the pt was the insistence of making this or that reference to everything that happened in the ot. it was refreshing to avoid that in ep7.
ie im glad we didn't see yoda or even get a mention of him. Luke's self-exile was enough, any fan would be able to connect the dots.
gosh does anyone else in the galaxy have the force besides the skywalker lineage?
let finn have a little
or make rey a kenobi or something damn
My least favorite scene had to be Rey tripping balls after touching the lightsaber. We had no real precedent for anything like that happening before, and tonally it just seemed super out of place with the rest of the movie.
Jedis cannot have children. They're like monks.
