Balance Theory : Why Han Solo is not dead, Rey has no father, and the Sequel Trilogy is not a tragedy.

The last thing the Star Wars fandom needs right now is it’s own “Indoctrination Theory.” The second to last thing it needs are lies to cover-up or discourage fans who might be on to something. Especially when Mr.“Benedict-Cumberbatch-isn’t-Khan” is still working on the series.

With these things in mind, I would like to apologize simultaneously, for waiting so long before I shared this with the fandom, and also for posting it so soon, when we have more than a year before Episode VIII.

Either way, there is a giant bantha in the room that no one is talking about, and I just can’t take it anymore!!!!!

It is also why I feel obligated to warn you, that if you have only a casual interest in Star Wars speculation, you might want to turn back and skip this one for now. This will either potentially spoil some major events in the next few chapters (where I might be right), or set expectations so astronomically high that no movie could ever live up to them (where I might be wrong).

As this is about the future of Star Wars, this is your SPECULATION. WARNING. That being said,  I HAVE NO NEW INFORMATION, this is simply an alternative analysis of the Star Wars Saga. I will not be discussing ANY actual spoilers or how they play into this. This is an analysis of Episode 7 and the rest of the star wars saga along with occasional references to other materials from the Disney cannon. I will NOT be referencing ANY interviews, released materials or other spoilers about Episode VIII.

There has been a lot of discussion and theory about TFA and all it’s similarities to ANH and TPM, but the differences are just as important and those differences haven’t received the attention they deserve.

The big theories relate to Rey, who she is, and who her parent(s) are. Is she a Skywalker? Is she a Solo? Anakin reincarnated? The Force Awakens suggests all these things.

I believe that while none of these ideas are correct, none of them are completely and totally wrong either.

Still with me? Okay, let’s activate this crazy Holocron.
