Leaked scene description from Star Wars: The Force Awakens describes the Millennium Falcon's reunification with its rightful owners, hints on Rey's background


It might just be the nerdgasm talking, but this seems pretty huge.

Ibtimes and Star Wars fan site The Force broke the news of possible scene description leak from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. According to "credible rumors," The Force Awakens heroes Rey and Finn will steal the Millennium Falcon from a salvage station and drive the iconic ship into deep space in a bid to evade pursuing TIE fighters. The Falcon is then caught by a large freighter ship.

This particular freighter is owned by none other than former rebel leader Han Solo and trusty co-pilot and heterosexual life partner Chewbacca. At which point, Solo delivers that beautifully succinct line as seen in the trailers: "Chewie, we're home."

Further titillating the rumor/ speculation mill is a clip from a Japanese TV network interview with The Force Awakens lead actor Daisy Ridley, and Kathleen Kennedy who auditioned her for the role of Rey.

Kennedy said of Ridley's audition, "I was particularly taken by the fact that she kept talking about her family. Her mom, her sisters... we began to realize that many of the things about Daisy are things that are inside the character."

At which point, Ridley follows up with-- "I've said that I'm solitary, that's probably a big clue as to what it is."


Fans have zoomed in on Ridley's emphasis on the word "solitary," speculating that this may refer to her familial connections to former rebel leader and notable solitary character Princess Leia.

Another leaked scene posted on the website describes how The Force Awakens picks up 30 years after Return of the Jedi's battle of Endor. A major battle between the Rebels and the Empire happens over the planet Jakku, littering it with the debris of fallen space ships. Rey will be introduced as a scavenger in Jakku whose life changes dramatically after the discovery of a discarded lightsaber in the junk.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the hotly anticipated continuation of the Star Wars saga, coming to theaters in December 2015. Keeping such a franchise completely under wraps must be a full-time job. Regardless of whether these rumors are true, the hype-train just went into hyperdrive.
