It also pays off Rey’s journey as established in TFA far better than any grand reveal of significant parentage would have. Rey is unable to join the surrogate family Han offers her, or initially to seek the destiny offered to her by the Force, because of her obsession with her parents. Getting over that fixation was a…

Rey’s parents being nobodies is the best choice — it pulls Star Wars away from being stuck in the stupid “bloodlines are important” idea and also gives us a protagonist outside of the Skywalker-Solo clan that we care about.

At least they didn’t let him try to replace David and Gillian with Ambrose and Amell.

So TFA invests some time into building a mystery of who Rey’s parents are, only to be brushed away in the next filmas only “oh, that was nothing. Ignore it.”?

thanks, i read it a while ago. also, apparently, my spoiler-hiding skills are lacking.

poop thing didn’t happen in the book!

Well. Who is to say “What it should be”? Disney clearly opted to give the individual directors a big freedom over their one film and not set a guideline trilogy in advance.

Book reader here also...There have been numerous differences between book and this show so far. Nothing major though that should affect the story being told.

Closed captions are your friend:)

The juxtaposition of Hickey taking a dump on his “wife’s” bed inter-cut with Sir John’s funeral definitely solidified the point that this is less historical fiction than horror created by men defiling the sacred.  Definitely interested to see where they’re taking his character.

That long necked bear statue is Tuunbaq, an Inuit demon legend that the daughter mentioned last week. I would bet that is what is attacking them, not just a bear. A simple polar bear would take one man at a time and eat him. Not twist off a head and throw it back at the rest of them or gift a seal to somebody or any…

The “scheduling issues” excuse is especially unconvincing when, as we all know, time is just a flat circle.

You can run a marathon in 12 kilometres in these!

What do I have to do to never have you post that again?

How about the “iMessage messages display out of order” irritant? Any word on a fix for that one?

Her name is Ham.
