    I think Rey could go either way.

    But there's no reason to hide Finn's if he isn't a Calrissian.

    I just don't see that being a thing.

    Rey and Finn supposedly already know each other. It makes so much more sense for him to be a Calrissian in that regard.

    Maybe but I dunno a lot of signs point that he's related to Zare Leonis from Star Wars Rebels; no not ONLY because he is black. Zare is a stormtrooper that is against the Empire but remains on the inside and also happens to have a Force-sensitive sister so there's grounds that support Finn being an AWOL stormtrooper as well as force-sensitive.

    Also I never heard that Rey and Finn supposedly know each other prior to TFA. Where'd you hear that?

    It could be a coincidence but I think it'd be one heck of one. It also has a pretty nice ring to it.

    I do believe Rey's last name is purposefully omitted. However, it could be that Finn grew up in the Imperial Academy, and anything more than a single name was unnecessary.

    Because there are only three black families in the entire Star Wars universe - Calrissian, Panaka, and Windu. Seriously.

    Besides, with a first name of Finn, you just know his last name has to be something like O'Malley or Leary. It's obvious that this is the first Irish stormtrooper that we have seen.

    Rey Solo = Only King? Meaning this generation's "only hope"?

    Probably one of the various rumor mills, now that I think about it.

    I just can't wrap my mind around omitting a last name unless they're tied to OT characters.

    Honestly though, who would be overly excited that he's of the Leonis bloodline?

    I wouldn't, he's too underdeveloped and he seems to be a recurring character at most.

    Good points.

    Probably no one...but I still don't feel like he is a Calrissian. If the rumor about Rey being a Solo kept a secret until the middle of the film is true that may be why they omitted it but I can't think of a good reason for Lando's son or why he'd be a Stormtrooper (unless the 'he's just dressed as a Stormtrooper' theory is true, which I doubt because we've heard rumor after rumor of Finn being a Stormy)

    I also don't know why they wouldn't of cast Billy Dee Williams as Lando if his son was in the movie.

    FINAL QUESTION: HOW THE HECK DO YOU QUOTE PEOPLE ON THIS THING?

    Why would he be a Calrissian? That would mean Lando abandoned him (no), he rebelled against Lando (who would do this?) and joined the Empire, or Lando is dead (Killing Lando offscreen? no)

    Windu don't make any sense.

    Leonis sounds cool, from what I read it'd be the right timing, that'd be okay.

    Hey - apparently there is a glitch on certain software. I can't just hit reply. I have to hover over reply, left click and hit open. A pain but it's the only way it'll work for me. Otherwise, just hit reply.
