WARNING!!!! – MAJOR STAR WARS 7 SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!







As Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens begins its year-long campaign towards its holiday season 2015 premiere, we are starting to hear more and more details of J.J. Abrams' new installment of the iconic film franchise – details that seem FAR more solid than a lot of the early rumors surrounding this closely-guarded film.

Today we have even more details from Star Wars 7, and they too seem less like rumor and more like actual details that could reveal some pivotal and shocking turns of the plot.

Making Star Wars has been the foremost site of breaking credible Star Wars 7 news, and they are back with a real doozy now. LAST CHANCE TO AVOID SPOILERS.

Here's the latest bullet point breakdown of what happens in The Force Awakens - as filmed at Pinewood Studios in London:

MAJOR SPOILER!!!!

[spoiler]
•This sequence takes place on the ramparts of The Evil Castle.
• Han Solo is hiding. He decides to reveal himself to Kylo Renn.
•Finn, Rey, Chewbacca and BB-8 stop in their tracks. They watch as Han Solo confronts Kylo Ren. Kylo Rnn silences the conversation forever. Chewbacca lets out of a barrage of angry roars and laser blasts.
•Kylo Ren flees the scene. Explosions. Stormtroopers file in and Finn and Rey are forced to flee. More explosions. BB-8 and Chewbacca flee to the Falcon.
•Han Solo is never in a scene after this. Those are the facts.
[/spoiler]

For those who haven't kept up with the slow piecing together of Episode VII's plot, this described scene above fits with the general plot of the film as has been described:

Rumored Episode VII Plot



•After the defeat of the Empire, the war is not over. Splintered Imperial forces remain active, while the Rebellion has not made a clear (or morally clean) transition to rule. There is essentially a galactic Cold War happening.
•Imperial soldier FINN (John Boyega) defects to Tatooine; there he meets scrap collector REY (Daisy Ridley) and her droid BB-8
•Daisy's mentor (Max von Sydow) points them toward a larger destiny involving a lightsaber that is connected to the now-absent Jedi.
•That lightsaber leads to HAN SOLO and CHEWBACCA, who take Rey, Finn and BB-8 on a galactic quest to find LUKE SKYWALKER
•Luke is supposedly in exile, guarding a Sith tomb (or some sacred site) for which Finn's lightsaber is the key
•Meanwhile, an Imperial commander (Gwendoline Christie) is on Finn's trail for defecting
•A pivotal character (Domhall Gleeson as Luke's possible son) is acting as double-agent against both the Rebellion and the Empire, in order to stop super weapons possessed by both sides
•And a Darkside user named KYLO REN (presumably Adam Driver) will be hunting down the lightsaber and its wielders.

Lineage Connections Revealed?



Making Star Wars has another report that tries to piece together several bits of information from both public interviews with the cast, and sources that the website has tapped for info. The long-short of it is this: like most Star Wars movies, there are going to be some big themes of lineage and parentage, and Force Awakens could offer several such examples through key characters.

The popular theories have of course been that several new characters are related to old ones:
•Rey = Han and Leia's daughter
•Domhall Gleeson's character = Luke's Son
•Kylo Ren = Han OR Luke's son



When the very first Star Wars 7 cast image was released, the groupings of the actors in the photo suggested that there could be deeper connections hinted at by the seating arrangements. With each new detail, it seems more and more conceivable that at least one or two of the connections proposed above will turn out to be accurate.

The site goes on to lend credit to the Han/Kylo connection by claiming to have sources that know certain key details, like Kylo Ren having an unhealthy obsession with Han. In one described scene, Ren abandons his mission just because Han is in the vicinity.



The Han/Kylo connection would be interesting in that if Han's death is as rumored, then Abrams and Co. would basically be combining the Obi-Wan sacrifice from A New Hope and Darth Vader reveal from The Empire Strikes Back into one epic and shocking character arc in The Force Awakens. Killing Han Solo off would make (temporarily) killing Agent Coulson in Avengers look like playtime.

from what I seen, again rumors but they fit what legit info has popped up.

[spoiler]
Kylo is either Han and Leia's son or will turn their son to the darkside, I don't doubt personally that he is their son given that one he is a gifted force user and Leia was said to have had the potential to be a strong force user like Luke and their father plus given that the offical art work that was released showed him holding the remains of Vader's helmet and the way he was drawn looking at it seems to infer some sort of bond, and is searching for the tomb of Darth Plagues The Wise who was the Sith lord who trained the Emperor which is guarded by Luke, Luke after having spent many years in isolation as well as being in a tomb of a Sith lord(if you ever played Knights of the old republic you probably know what I am talking about) have slowly started to take their toll on him mentally.

It is said that Ren, Adam Driver, has been obsessed with his lineage for a few years and is somewhat an historian with a fascination with the Sith. he is a pilot with the alliance but you will see that he is quite twisted. He sabotaged Poes X wing at some point prior to the opening scenes and this resulted with Poe being on the same planet with Rey. He is arrogant and cares little for his parents or siblings as he wants to be as powerful as his grandfather, Darth Vader. Facts are vague but it will be revealed that there is bad blood between this man and his family.

The Lightsaber carried by or found by Rey is the key to something inside Darth Plagues's tomb, something Luke wants to keep hidden and Kylo wants to uncover.

Leia is in hiding as the empire has regained much of it's former strength and the rebel alliance is crumbling.

Finn was abducted and forced to join the imperial forces as a child which is why he defects, it seems the empire killed his parents and took him as a new recruit it seems this is one of the many ways the empire has been bolstering their ranks after the destruction of the second death star and the end of the emperor. Since cloning facility would logically either be destroyed or they are no longer able to grow new clone troopers since the original source the last Mandalorian Jango Fett was killed  as well as his unmodified first generation clone Bobba Fett. 

Rea is revealed to be Han and Leia's daughter, the revelation comes when the trio meet up with Han and Chewy as Han calls her by her real name. It seems Han decided to have her take on a fake name to keep the empire from coming after her. She also has a brief scene where she uses the force in a garage on Tantioine
