At this point in Star Wars, revealing anybody to have any relation to anybody else will shock no one.

I just saw the movie again, and a great deal of my nitpicking evaporated. I liked the movie anyway but once I saw it again without the baggage of preconceived notions, I enjoyed the movie so much more. Also, I totally take back what I said about the music being disappointing. I've taken a 180 in that regard.
I'm telling ya, some lady shows up at Luke's Fun Time Light Side Jedi Training Academy with a little girl and says "I'm Ben Kenobi's daughter... this is Rey, My daughter... She's all up in that Force"...
Luke takes her on, Kylo is a total A-hole and gets jealous cuz as Luke's nephew, he's not getting all the attention. Especially when Rey starts seeing Force Ghost Ben.
He kills everyone, Luke hides Rey - On another tattoine...
It's poetry! It rhymes! Ben trains Luke, now Luke trains a Kenobi.
Then Bens grandaughter fights Vaders Grandson. A Kenobi finally end the Skywalker lineage of mucking up the Force.
It also expands the Force a bit to not just strong with Skywalkers, but keeps it family.
I HAVE FORESEEN IT!

The music *is* great! There might be a noticeable lack of Leitmotifs, but that might be due to the fact that the new cast is still *finding their path* so to speak. It m8ght be a deliberate choice to hold them off until Ep.VIII (though considering JW's age, it's a risky wager)

I'm hoping that in the next episode we get to see Kylo's training since we've never really seen how the dark side trains their warriors. It'd be cool to see both Kylo and Rey's training and how they differ

I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would, overall.
My biggest lingering disappointment is definitely the rushing of grief after Han. I was strangely unaffected when Han died, I didn't feel like it was the character I had grown up loving, that died onscreen.
For all the time that Leia and Chewie had spent onscreen and off in the OT, they walk right past each other, so that Leia can hug Rey? You can say maybe it will be touched on more in VIII. It doesn't matter. It needed to be dealt with then. It shows the production understands the OT less than they think they do.
I did let out a "Yes!" When Chewie's bolt found its mark on Kylo. I really wasn't expecting that.
My other big gripe is the villains. I felt like the filmmakers thought they were very clever in coming up with new villains. I didn't love to hate them. I just found them annoying.
What did I like? The first third of the movie. Loved Boyega, Ridley, and especially Isaac. Isaac was kind of the surprise of the movie for me, I hope we see a lot more of him and BB-8.

I'd be up for that, but I think the Dark Side has a better gym.

I think Chewie would have been the perfect audience surrogate. It would have added the resonance that situation needed. It just didn't happen....
I think a lot of people would agree with you. We don't want to lose Chewie because of his loyalty we've come to love after 38 years. A bit more time spent on his rage and sorrow would have sold what had been lost, much more.
The OT characters simply we're not the same people.
They were not behaving normally, strangers.
Major fail and I'm glad people are noticing.

I have 2 more propositions for Rey's lineage.
What if she is a Skywalker, but not a Solo. As in, Leia's kid to a different father, she may have remarried after Han took off, that guy is probably dead now, could've been a force sensitive.
Second, and this depends on anyone that can remember better than me. But do we actually hear Han mention the gender of student that betrayed Luke? If not it could be that Rey was a bats*** crazy and powerful kid that just lost it completely. We assume it's Ren because of who he is, but he is choosing the darkside, rather than being seduced by it. Like he's trying really hard to get there, Annakin/Vader once seduced had little conflict at all. Could even be that she is descended from from sith, in movie cannon we got Plaguis, Sidious and Tyranus to choose from. Don't know why this would lead her to be abandoned on Jakku, maybe Luke didn't have it in him to kill a youngling and tried to wipe her mind as much as possible and left her there to fend for herself? But could all be crap if Han mentioned a male student.
Just throwing it in the mix to be mulled over.
