    The Force Awakens is almost upon us... many questions we have harbored more than three decades are about to be answered... but the day after release, what questions will still linger?

    Part of the fun of Star Wars is that it always takes a few years to fully "unpack" an episode. Themes and plotpoints get filled in by the EU, hidden meanings become more apparent upon repeat viewings... but how much of the preceding thirty years will we know from the movies, and what will be filled in later? What other lasting questions will we still have.

    What new questions will the film raise?

    Are there any more Jedi in the galaxy other than Luke?

    And if there are, are any of them older than him?

    And if he indeed had a Jedi Academy, where did those Padawans come from; who were/are their parents?

    Some of these may be easy questions to answer, and others may complicate things said or believed in previous movies. :cool:

    Who uber is
    *I haven't read the rumors in a bit but assuming Kylo is Han/Leia's son* Why Kylo turned evil
    *assuming Rey is Luke's daughter* What happened to her mother?
    Will Poe ever wear anything other than that flight suit
    Will Finn become a Jedi
    Who are the 7

    I imagine that a lot of things that won't be answered in the ST will be answered in any shows that take place before, during, or after said trilogy. The ST may not show us the larger galaxy.

    I think they will imply that some of the other Padawans luke was training are still alive, but we will have no idea what they have become or if they will be a part of the story.

    1. Does Luke Skywalker have an apprentice? (If so where are they and who are they)
    2. What is Leia ongoing role? (in the galaxy and Resistance)
    3. What will Chewbecca do moving forward? What happens to the Falcon?

    pretty sure Finn and Rey are going to be Luke's apprentices. but I think it's possible that there are survivors who will appear in VIII or IX along with Rey and Finn.

    I would love for there to be survivors as minor characters we learn little about; they don't have to be important to the story of the ST itself, and don't need to be cannon fodder in a repeat of the Geonosis Arena or anything, but they could serve as the basis for books, shows, comics, etc following their training & adventures/missions. And who knows, maybe one or two of them (survivors of the flashback, or maybe victims in the flashback) are survivors of Order 66, back in the game post-ROTJ after a couple decades on the sidelines? :D

    I think this movie is going to a huge tease, and we won't know anything but the state of the galaxy and the roster of characters. It's JJ Abrams! It's just how he operates.

    Predictions:
    We won't know who Uber is.
    We won't know why Luke has been hiding.
    We won't know if anyone is a Skywalker/Solo.
    We won't know how Leia and Han got split up.
    We won't know who the main character of the ST is.
    We won't know if Leia trained in the force.
    We won't know what Leia's political goals are with the resistance.
    We won't know why Luke's first saber was found instead of his green saber.
    We won't know what "The Force Awakens" means.

    We won't know who Uber is or what he ultimate goals are.
    We won't know what will end up happening with Kylo Ren.
    We won't know if Leia will reintegrate the Resistance into the mainline New Republic.
    We won't know who is running the New Republic, since we know it isn't Leia, or if the New Republic will be involved going forward.
    We won't know exactly why Luke is in hiding. (I'm sure we'll get a broad picture, but details won't come until the next two films.)
    We won't know if Luke's rebuilding of the Order actually begins with Rey. (I suspect he may have a couple of other Padawans we'll see in VIII and IX. But Rey is the one he's truly been waiting for.)

    How come Luke was barely in it? will probably be the question asked most by those who've not been following the rumors.

    if the rumors are true that is blah blah blah...

    Pretty sure Lawrence Kasdan himself essentially confirmed that in that Vanity Fair interview. :p

    Well we can certainly hope but then again Kasdan's in the story group. He might just be aware of the comic series and the Rebels appearances and be referring to those.

    I think "Uber" will remain a mystery until 8 or 9.


    I think a lot of what won't be answered will have a back story in the novels. For instance Aftermath will probably explain a lot about the state of the galaxy and what the First Order's origins are.

    Come ooooon. We have to find that out! Unless they're waiting for a 'I am your father' like twist in Episode VIII, they're gonna have to give us their last names.

    Rey: They never told you what happened to your daughter.
    Luke: They told me enough. They told me they killed her and that's why I've been isolating myself and sulking while the galaxy falls apart.
    Rey: No. I am your daughter.
    Luke: That's not true... that's impossible!!!
    Rey: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
    Audience: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS...?!?!?
