“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” will be coming out this Christmas. And though everyone is excited to see the new additions and old favorites (Darth Vader anyone?), at the back of everyone’s minds is the creeping shadow of “Star Wars: Episode VIII.” The eighth chapter of the “Star Wars” saga is slated to come out in December 2017. The wait is simply maddening, and all those unanswered questions from Episode VII aren’t helping.

Probably, the biggest question that has to be answered is where in the name of Endor did Rey come from? To date, over a dozen theories have surfaced, and none confirmed. Is she a Skywalker? That seems to be the sensible plotline. If so, is she Luke’s? She is strong with the Force, as strong, or maybe even more powerful than Han Solo’s murderer, Kylo Ren.
Next up, who is Snoke, really? Some say this trilogy’s new big bad is Anakin Skywalker because of the scars Snoke bears. Recent theories mentioned he may be Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson’s character was reported not to have died at the hands of Palpatine). But one thing is for sure – Snoke has felt and has used the Dark Side of the Force.
Another issue keeping “Star Wars” fans up at night is the possibility of other old-timers returning, such as Billy Dee Williams’ Lando Calrissian, and perhaps even Darth Maul. Wouldn’t that be something worth joining the Rebellion for?
