Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Post-release)

So just saw the movie for the second time and the questions are arising:

1. How does Leia and Rey know one another? Chewie walks right by her and makes no acknowledgement of Han's death.
2. Is Snokes a hologram or a projection of a spirit? When he disappears he fades out rather than blinks out from past holograms. Also his signal seems to be very strong if he is a hologram meaning he may be nearby.
3. How can Rey summon up The Force when she has someone bearing down on her with a lightsaber and be able to suddenly be able to counterattack with as much strength as Kylo who has been using The Force far longer.

1 No idea, but I imagine Leia and Chewie are not on the best of terms, she would resent him for going off with her husband, and he would be angry at her for telling Han to bring Ben home, which directly lead to Han's death.
2 Who knows, maybe its a force projection?
3 it will probably be explained in the next one, but what if she was like Rogue, what if she gains someone's power while draining the person she is getting it from?

Ren sounds like a dead ringer for Javier Bardem in "No country for old men" whenever he speaks.

Uh, Boba Fett captured Han Solo. He was an instrumental part of the plot of ESB. Phasma ACTUALLY did nothing. Well, she folded amazingly quickly to an old man and a kindhearted kid whom she knew was nonviolent. I guess there's that.

Oh yeah, forgot about Chewie! Still, she came off as the kind of hardcore true believer who would happily die before giving in. Unless Finn turns out to be Force sensitive, she is either a poorly written character or a cowardly hypocrite. Her turning off the shields is one of the few things that irks me about the movie. If VIII reveals Finn to have latent Force sensitivity, I'll forgive it :lol

If by captured Solo you mean stood next to Vader while he captured Solo, then took possession of the Hansicle after Vader had him frozen, then yeah, good job.

He cleverly tracked Han to Bespin and led Vader straight to him. Same dif. But whatever. I don't want to spiral into some nerd blackhole here. If you don't don't think he was an important character in ESB, you don't. It's not my life's work to get anyone to accept Boba Fett as their personal savior or anything.

Reminds me of a discussion I had with a guy who just didn't get Firefly (Yes. They exist) who couldn't buy the premise that, in the future, why people would still ride horses. My response was, do people ride horses today? Yes. Just because the technology exists today doesn't mean that everybody drives a Tesla. There will always be a use for basic low tech solutions.
 
Did you even SEE Empire Strikes Back? Vader captured Solo, Fett just followed them.

1. They don't. They share that moment likely to commiserate communally over Han's death. Liea was somehow made aware that Rey felt close to Han. There was more exposition that showed that not in the final cut based on rumors I read.
2. No, he's an actual realized individual. Han and Liea knew Snoke and he was involved in the New Republic somehow.
3. She is VERY strong in the Force and it was guiding her actions.
 
Someone posted a theory on another board that I haven't seen here (though with 70 pages, and a few other threads, it's certainly possible) -

Saw it again, and one thing stood out even more strongly than it had the first time: the only person who reacts to news of a "girl from Jakku" as if it might mean anything to him is Ren, who reacts rather emphatically (almost making the poor junior officer who brings him the news the next Captain Needa). Then later, he offers to train her.

Whatever her parentage may be, it wasn't her parents who hid her on Jakku to keep her safe from Ren, it was Ren who hid her from Snoke. Whether it was because he wasn't far enough over to the dark side to kill a little girl (who might have been his sister, cousin, or some random force-sensitive girl recently dropped off at Luke's academy), or because he was already thinking of her as a future apprentice, or maybe to use her against her family (whoever they may be), or some combination thereof, will be interesting to find out.

I like that theory, though it seems to me that Ren would probably have brought it up, or at least hinted at it, when he found her in the woods, or was interrogating her.
 
That is one thing they missed- no Chewie/Leia scene after their return. I don't know if they just missed it, no one thought to include it or what, but that was a real missed opportunity for a scene that should have happened.

I needed the closure!
 
Fett figured out where they were going (at sublight speed) and then called the empire in to catch them.

He tracked them so that vader could catch them

In fact, he was the only one smart enough to figure put that they were attached to the hull of the star destroyer
