The last Jedi predictions

Hiya! I’m going to see the last Jedi (Star Wars episode VIII) on Friday (opening night). It, obviously, isn’t out yet, but I’ve been marathining basically ever episode before it (including prequels). Some speculation and fan theories have been passed around, and I’m like yo, why don’t I bet money on which theories and speculation will be true or untrue? Then I realized I don’t have free money to bet. So why don’t I just speculate on my own? Spoilers for episodes I-VII. No spoilers for episode VIII, and if you get mad about it then you’re a scruffy looking nerf herder.

Snoke's Identity won’t be revealed yet
Okay, this is a very base prediction, but I’m guessing that that will be revealed in episode IX, as they’ll want to save some mystery for it. I do not have any strong predictions for who Snoke is, but I’m thinking it will be a completely new character.

Rey’s parents will be revealed, and she will most likely be a Skywalker or Kenobi
I personally don’t want Rey to be a Skywalker, because ugh, but there’s a 50-50 chance she will be. I prefer her being a Kenobi, or a completely new character’s kid, which I think is also decently likely.

Kylo Ren-Rey past connection
I DEFINITELY don’t think there will be a love arc with these two, or sure as heck not on Rey’s side. I do think that there’s a strong possibility Rey did go to train with the young Jedi, and Kylo couldn’t bring himself to kill her, so he left her on Jakku, mind-wiped of course. There’s a theory about this, if you’d like to explore more, with lots of YouTube rundowns with evidence.

Kylo Ren Redemption arc
Obviously this won’t be in the last Jedi, but in the third one. If anything, this one will show Kylo going down a darker path, and being stronger in the dark side.

Somethings fishy about Han’s death
There’s a theory by “Jon solo” called “Han committed suicide?” Which could be it, (I think the theory states Han pushed the button himself, not Kylo) or that Han Solo knew Kylo was going to kill him, and knew that it would be better for Kylo that way. Whether you think Kylo is going full dark or its going to push him towards the light, is another debate.

Rey + Finn = Love
This is personal preference, but I ship it so dang hard.

I don’t know what to expect for the last Jedi, all in all, but I’m excited to see where it goes, because the force awakens tried to be very mysterious.
