Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi

So if Jedis are celibate, how can Rey be Luke's daughter?

@col63onel is right, the Old Jedi order were basically monks. The New Jedi Order was a bit different... Luke was already married to Mara Jade when he formed the New Jedi Order; so, I don't think he was going to divorce her to start the new order.

In the Old Jedi Order, to fall in love, have sex, or to marry meant being expelled.

Of course, Mara is no longer canon

Well, neither was Revan and Bastila but they brought them into canon.

You never know bro..

But knowing these guys they'll just switch up her name...

Yeah.

Better way of saying it: She, or an equivalent, is not canon, yet.

So instead of destroying the world to eleminate the jedi all Vader had to do was to hire some hot strippers ? Darn! I wish Cinemax bought the rights instead of Disney !

When I was a kid I always imagined that the Jedi were so awesome that it took Vader and the Emperor giving everything they had to wipe them out.

As it turns out, the Jedi are the Dodo of super-powered warrior-monks. They are easier to eradicate than lemmings.

Yeah, Episode III really made the Jedi seem like a bunch of pussies.

Episode II wasn't kind either. "Let's just walk into an obvious trap and get slaughtered."

Yeah, but at least the Jedi seemed semi-competent during the big melee.

In Episode III the entire Jedi order is slaughtered by a couple of stormtroopers, and Yoda and Obi-Wan just seemingly give up immediately.

Really? I read a while back that Revan was really close to being canon, but they decided against. God I'm going to need out if they changed their mind.

Nerd Alert: Star Wars exhibit coming to Cincy in May!

"Featured costumes include the menacing black mask of Darth Vader, the gilded suit of C-3PO and the golden bikini worn by Princess Leia when she was enslaved by Jabba the Hutt."

Yeah so.. they removed him from canon, and then Star Wars Rebels brought him, the whole KOTOR 1&2 gang, and Thrawn all back into canon.

So yep, Revan & The Exile are canon..

Now we need a Star Wars Anthology: Revan movie..

To be fair, while it didn't appear that way on film; the Jedi killed by Order 66 were all field commanders over hundreds of thousands of clone troopers. The Republic was ordering clone troopers by the millions from Kamino.

They didn't sense any treachery because the clone troopers themselves didn't know they were going to kill the Jedi until the order was given. And there was no larger knowledge of the plot because of Palpatine's ability to shroud the future with the Dark Side of the Force.

I think, in the interest of time, the whole plot line of Vader going and hunting down the remaining Jedi that weren't killed by Order 66 was just cut out... even though that's what everyone came to see.

Essentially, Act I & II should have been condensed into a single shorter initial opening act. And then the movie's mid-point should have been where Episode 3 ended.

There will be an Old Republic/Ancient Sith movie at some point in the next decade. I would bet all of my Twi'lek servants on it.

That is a hefty bet sir. Best of luck!

My brother and bro in law have the best theory: Rey is Kylos sister. Kylo goes Dark Side because his sister is superior in the Force and had passed him. After Kylo betrayed him, Luke himself goes Dark Side to save Rey and mind wiped everyone about Reys existence, including Rey. It is why everyone thinks they know her but can't place it. Then she was left on Jakku with the Millenium Falcon as payment to watch her. Having betrayed his oath as a Jedi, Luke goes into exile. It also explains why Rey has saber skills- she simply doesn't remember her training earlier in life.

So that would mean Rey is Leia and Han's daughter. Which was my original theory and gut feeling when I first saw the movie. I just based it off their interactions with how much they both loved Rey. Her piloting the Falcon could be a clue too. But if I remember correctly, my theory was quickly shutdown in the TFA thread so I don't think anyone else here believes that. Everyone convinced me she was Luke's. This theory makes much more sense to me though so I'll trust my original gut feeling.
