From strictly a viewing perspective one of my favorite scenes are the tie fighters silhouetted in front of the sun.

Put me down in the coincidence camp. That doll kind of looks like her, but not so much so you can rule out coincidence. Her design is a pretty generic humanoid alien. Really her only distinguishing feature is her goggles. So Anakin has a generic humanoid alien statue with goggles, so it must be Maz, right? Most likely it is supposed to be some kind of pod racer, since that's what he was really in to.

Didnt Maz also have a collection of pod racer flags at her hideout?

This is probably the most convincing argument for Rey's parentage.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to know this now or wait for the movie. Is the theory in this video anything earth shattering that hasn't been already discussed in this thread?

No, it just elaborates on the most common theory and gives specifics why they feel the movie pointed in that direction.

There are 54 pages of theories on here. Just watched the video and it somewhat combines a lot of what has been discussed on here. Just one dude's opinion that is very well conveyed. I still don't know what direction Episode 8 will go after watching the video...

Not a new theory. I read this exact same thing in several places not too long after the movie came out, and even discussed it with some friends at work. I do think it is going to be pretty close to what happens.

Yeah, nothing earth shattering but he does a good job of pulling it all together. Ray being Luke's daughter still seems too obvious.

Thinking back, wonder what a Youtuber like this would have made of the Luke/Leia kiss.

There are some people claiming that there was a tombstone in the final scene where Rey meets Luke. The theory is that it is the grave site of Luke's wife. Anybody have any evidence to support or kill this theory?

Edit: I found a still of the "grave stone". Supposedly the initials "B L" are on it.

This Solo family picture conclusively rules out the theory that Rey is a sibling of Kylo Ren.

Been thinking about this for a while and I think one point blows this theory up. As we've seen thru previous movies force users can sense death and extreme pain. Ben when planet is blown up, Leia a couple times on Luke and in last movie she knew when Han was kabob'd on a light saber.

It doesn't blow it up. Nothing a little creativity couldn't explain away. Of course it will be something for some fans to ***** about if it happens.

So, the wife and I took this coming Friday off work....we were going to go see this at Flix but it looks like it'll be out of the theater by that time but I'm not sure. When I checked their schedule for Friday last night online it was there, but I refreshed the page this morning and it's gone. Just checked the Century 20 theater schedule and looks like it's done there also. Anyone know for sure of other theaters in the area that may be keeping it past the 2 month mark?
