matches the rumors of a Luke focused movie.

My hope was that with Han being the old-school star of VII, it'd be Luke in VIII and Leia in IX. In my little fantasy world, Leia was going to finally realize her inborn Force potential and team up with Rey to kick ass in the finale. Alas.  :cry:
Is this still Wombat?

I'm curious as to what plot changes will be made now that Carrie Fisher is no longer with us.... Then again, a part of me never wants to know what could have been.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

Fun Facts about The Force Awakens

Quote
1) Finn's Stormtrooper ID number is FN-2187, which is the same number as the cell block where Leia is imprisoned in "A New Hope."

2) Many familiar banners can be seen hanging outside Maz Kanata's outpost. These include several of the podracers' flags from "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" and the mythosaur skull from Boba Fett's uniform.

3) The Millennium Falcon chess game that Finn accidentally triggers pays homage to an earlier film by picking up right where the chess game between R2D2 and Chewie left off in "A New Hope." The piece that gets body slammed in the original game gets revenge by hitting its assailant with a mace this time around.

4) The Abednedo X-wing pilot is named 'Ello Asty' after the 1998 Beastie Boys' album, 'Hello Nasty.' On the package of his officially licensed toy, the Aurebesh text on his helmet reads "born to ill," which is another Beastie Boys reference as well as a reference to the Stanley Kubrick film "Full Metal Jacket." (1987)

5) The archway in Rey's village on Jakku was actually originally designed by Ralph McQuarrie to be part of Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. Another impact he had on the film.

Those banners lend credence to a pretty cool fan theory that Maz Kanata is actually the last (and tallest) Jawa. In The Phantom Menace two Jawas are watching the pod races and the taller one is one of them. Then in a New Hope when the Jawas have R2 there are 7 of them (including one that is taller), but after the storm troopers kill them there are only 6 bodies. Plus Maz's goggles make her eyes glow yellow, just like a Jawa. There's more to the theory, but I cant recall any more details right now.

I had to search out that theory

Garb theory but still amusing.
