    If her name was switched from Kira to Rey why would Kira be on call sheets and shooting schedules? I could see Kira still being in the script but documents that are drawn up pretty much right prior to filming and throughout the filming process wouldn't have her new name on it? That's a stretch.

    'Kira' was the production and on set name on call sheets, like 'Original Warrior' or 'OW' for Luke. ;)

    But why would she need such a production name when she's a new character? I could see why Luke has a production name because his reveal or scenes are a huge plot point. Why couldn't Rey be in the call sheets? There's nothing about her name that reveals anything. And the other main new characters, Finn and Poe, do not have production names.

    This. Finn and Poe are "Finn" and "Poe" on the call sheets along with "Kira". Jason said that he was very surprised to see her being announced as Rey.

    Why? You have absolutely no clue what that would mean or play out like in the story.

    I don't get your logic because I'm saying I hope Rey's name is not Kira, you talk about story, what does that have to do with story she can still be a Solo and so can Kylo without her being called Kira.o_O

    I have a small suspicion that Rose reveals her name to her during the flashback stories and that`s why she is upset afterwards.

    so she's upset because her real name isn't Rey or because she's Han's kid.:p

    Rose will tell "Rey" who she really is and she will be upset because she didn`t know.

    I still feel personally like it will be hard to care about the relationship between Rey if she's a Solo if she only interacts with Han without knowing of the relation and only once with Leia in the entire movie, kinda makes me feel like Han should be killed in VIII and not in VII.[face_dunno]

    No I mean, why do you feel so strongly about "Kira". Is it just you don't like the name, or what?

    hey, I'm not the only one and I find it to be an unoriginal name in fantasy and science fiction, also add to the fact that it's also a guy's name in Japanese and it seems to me like the only reason why people want her to have the Kira Rey name is to confirm she's a Solo kid just like Kylo Ren who based on rumors seems to be one. The thing is she doesn't even need to be Kira Rey to be a Solo kid.:)

    Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, our hero is called - Luke.
    All I'm gonna say to that ;)

    And the same could be said for her being Luke's daughter. We would have to say that Han doesn't recognize Luke's daughter; or that he never knew that Luke had a daughter.

    If so, you would have to ask yourself why would they intentionally write themselves into such a tight corner like that. They could have literally done anything. Anything. And yet they went with the "no-one recognizes anyone" bit for the entire movie? Why?

    Why would Kasdan and Abrams intentionally do that to themselves? Now you have to pull a rabbit out of your hat while blindfolded and doing a handstand.

    Not really the same unless Lucas gets instagibbed by Uber to open VIII. He will be around for some interaction where the relation is known.

    Still there is something tragic about missing a chance to really connect to your parents that could be played up

    yes true, so no real relationship with Han (her supposed father), no interaction except a fond farewell with her supposed mother and then training with an almost forgotten und unknown uncle (mainly off screen until he dies in VIII). I fear there won't be any emotional attachments at all. So it will be hard for audiences to attach to her. [face_dunno]

    I think it would put Luke in a bad light if Han has to bust his butt saving Luke`s daugher, losing his life in the process (in fact, Luke seems to be the only one of the heroes who doesn`t participate in the rescue of his own daugher) while Luke enjoys the ocean view, sipping Irish whiskey.

    the same can be said about Rey being his niece. Luke is doing nothing and let his friends/family alone in danger. So in fact whoever Rey is, Luke is in a bad light. :rolleyes:[face_sigh]

    Yeah Luke is not looking good no matter what unless he is sitting in a Prison Cell.
