Some info about the more symbolic scenes in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens is starting to leak, now that a a bunch of major spoilers are already out there. Now, we've heard about a cool scene involving Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Rey (Daisy Ridley). This rumor contains possible spoilers, so consider as a warning, and don't read if you'd rather be surprised about the film's important plot details.
The scene will reveal how Han passes his famous DL-44 blaster to Rey. There was a piece of concept art in The Force Awakens exhibit at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, which showed Rey wielding a blaster, supporting this rumor's claim. The rumor comes from Makingstarwars.net, and hasn't been officially confirmed, so take it as grains of salt.
According to
If you recall, Rey, Han, and Finn travel to the green world (
believed to be Yavin IV
). Once the Falcon touches down, Rey marvels at the vista near the landing site. Concept art depicts the Falcon setting down on a wooden dock on the water outside the stronghold. There are ships and freighters landed outside the castle, above the water in the concepts. Rey was emotionally overcome
by all the greenery she sees when they first reached the planet
and her amazement continues. The view is breathtaking.
This continues a little further. While Chewie is still on the ship shutting her down with Finn, Han talks to Rey in private and he passes on one of, if not his most personal gun to her for protection in Maz's stronghold. This is where Rey gets her DL-44, the gun Han Solo made famous.
After Rey and her friend get into Maz's stronghold, Rey gets into a bar fight. Finn is little help in dealing with the rapscallions. Finn does try and stick up for Rey though. However, Chewbacca helps sort out the problem, as it turns out a Wookiee at your side is a little better than an ex-Stormtrooper for bar-fights.
A short time after this encounter, Rey enjoys a few drinks, and gets tipsy on the pirate ale. It sounds like a good time! While tipsy, Rey thanks Finn for sticking up for her in the strife. Finn's attempt at chivalry doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated by Rey.
That sounds like an important scene between the two characters. It would even be more exciting if Rey turned out to be Han's and Leia's daughter.
Take this as a rumor for now until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm and Disney.
