Random Star Wars Thoughts

Rey has to be a Skywalker if there is any sense left in the galaxy. Instead of Brother & Sister vs. Father, the fight will be Cousin vs. Cousin (at the very least) or Sister vs. Brother.

Outside of those lines, please, for the love of the Force, PLEASE....just let her not be related to anyone.

Also she's what, 17? 18? She was born at least 12 years after the fall of the Empire. Being human, that means she was conceived 11yrs 3mo after the DS2 went pop. And don't cheapen it by saying the embryo was kept in cryo for 40 some odd year. What would be the point?

The thing is, any Kenobi descendant would be a grandchild or even great-grandchild of Obi-wan's generation.   Obi-wan and Satine were together for a year while he was still a Padawan under Qui-gon.  That was quite some time ago and not outside the chances that individual would have a child sometime in the early days of the Empire.  The grandchild (if female) would be in her 20s or early 30s when Rey was conceived, one would assume with Luke's assistance to keep with the theme of the story being about the Skywalker line.

So you're suspecting that Rey is the offspring of Luke and Kenobi's daughter? Also, doesn't seem likely that Satine would have borne a child and not introduced it to the father when Kenobi went to Mandalore. Also+, the child would have been at least 10 if not early teens when the Clone Wars started, and would have been early to mid 30's at the beginning of ANH.

Sorry dude, but I think your theory is failing.

[ithekro]

Not daughter.  Granddaughter or even great-granddaughter, depending on just how far back Kenobi's first visit to Mandalore was.

While it is unlikely Satine would hide a child from Obi-wan, there would be some serious political and social problems for both if such a child was known to exist.

[Darth Logos]

Whatever.

Speaking of Daughter....I finally caught the Mortis arc over the weekend. I'll admit, I couldn't hate it. I think it left more to interpretation the many would care to speculate.

However the lack of consistency with the pronunciation of names is seriously giving me a stomach ache.

Which names are you talking about? I seem to remember something about that, but I don't remember which ones they were.

Like Pre Viszla. IMO should be pronounced Prā Vee-shlә (like the dog breed, which is spelled V-I-S-Z-L-A)

Why is it Twē-lek but Master Dī? But then Orn Free Ta pronounces it the way I do, Twī-lek. Which to me, sounds infinitely better.

Those are my 2 big ones.

I think it is sort of the HAN vs. HON or LAY-A vs. LEE-A thing. Sort of a personal preference. But I agree with you on the Twi-lek thing. Viszla isn't a huge one IMO though.

Yeah. To me the canon (mis)pronunciation of those two just makes them sound soft.

Now, you see...

I always thought it was Twee-lek, but I've heard it pronounced Twai-lek a whole lot since. (sorry - no fancy accents on my letters)

I cheated and pulled symbols from Word.

I'm the opposite. I hadn't heard "twee-lek" until SWR, and even then I just thought Azmorigan was an illiterate idiot. Then I come to find out the entire Basic speaking galaxy are illiterate idiots. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Different dialects come up with different ways to pronounce the same words.  That is nothing new even within just the English language.

Take the place name like say, Concord.  On the East Coast that is pronounced "con-cord".  But on the West Coast that is pronounced "con-curd".

I know, you trust those West Coast peeps to get anything right. Hippies.

I live in Oregon and have never heard that..unless someone was saying "conquered." "Lancaster" on the other hand, is said quite different.

Live on the best coast, I mean! The west coast(California)
It's pronounced Con-cord, just like its spelled. Unlike those tards from the Northeast that pronounce words like HEART "HAHRT" or "HAHD" for HARD

If you say it like it slowly, then it is Con-cord, however if you say it fast like, then it is a mix between the two of them.
