It\'s long been speculated that Rey\'s parents are someone important in the Star Wars Universe. Many believed that Han Solo and General Leia were her mom and dad, while others theorized that Luke Skywalker was her father. However, we found out in
that Rey\'s parents abandoned her when she was a child, leaving her on Jakku. According to Kylo Ren, they traded her drinking money.
In some ways, this is a majorly disappointing revelation, as fans hoped that Rey\'s natural ability with the Force meant that she had familial ties to the Jedi. However, if this revelation is true, and not a red herring, then Rey is responsible for herself and her own abilities, which is empowering in its own way.
consisted of Adam Driver wearing a pair of incredibly high waisted tight trousers, and nothing else.
In a nod to the audience, Rey asked Kylo to cover up, which he ignored. As his torso appeared to be covered in glimmering, slippery baby oil, he probably didn\'t want to mess up his clothes. Plus, the fellow audience members I\'ve conferred with didn\'t mind one bit.

Sadly, Carrie Fisher\'s passing has meant that
is being reworked. As Mark Hamill confirmed, "I know they\'re going to try and find a way to close her story in [

. However, the filmmakers honored the screen legend with a tribute during the end credits, but it\'s surprising that Leia\'s storyline wasn\'t remotely wrapped up in
In a fit of rage, following an unsuccessful meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke, Kylo destroys his helmet by smashing it repeatedly against an elevator wall. For the rest of the movie he is helmet-less (and occasionally topless), and it\'ll be interesting to see if he dons a mask or helmet in
Soon after losing the helmet, Kylo murders Snoke, which is evidence of why you should never criticize a person\'s clothing choices.
, and appeared to Luke. While it was nice, and surprising, to see him again, Yoda wasn\'t given an awful lot to do. Although he did suggest that Rey was more than ready to take her next step as a Jedi. So thanks, I guess?

That Laura Dern is utter perfection is no surprise whatsoever. From
, Dern continues to wow audiences worldwide. But as Vice Admiral Holdo, Dern is the steady hand the Rebels need when General Leia goes into a coma. Her performance is graceful, and her character refuses to listen to all the mansplainers around her (I\'m looking at you, Poe).
Luke dies following a fairly mediocre battle with Kylo Ren towards the end of the movie. He simply disappears into nothingness, and Rey claims that he is now at peace. Presumably, this is to make way for Rey\'s strength in the Force in the next movie, but it was pretty disappointing to see one of the most powerful Jedi Masters just vanish.
