Is Leia Now a *SPOILER*?



Well, as I promised, here's some more possible spoilers for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens...if you keep reading beyond this point and you don't want to know what might possibly be in the movie, don't say I didn't warn you!

According to Making Star Wars, Leia's role in the movie might be a lot bigger than once believed.  Not only do they make it sound as if she is now leading the Rebel Alliance, but she is often referred to as Queen.  Makes sense, she was Princess Leia in the original trilogy, her parents blew up, so why would she inherit the new title?  But I digress...

It sounds like Leia and Han are still married, and about to celebrate their 35 anniversary.  It also sounds like they haven't spoken to one another in years, and that their rocky, and sometimes tumultuous, relationship has continued since return of the Jedi.  What could have driven them to this point?  I'm glad you asked!  Here's one of the theories that Making Star Wars came up with, based on the information that they've received...

After Han and Leia were married, they had two children, Kira and Kylo, who are both force sensitive.  The two children are sent to study with Luke at his newly formed Jedi Academy where he has begun training the next generation of Jedi children.  While at the academy, it was attacked by a group being referred to as "The Seven."  All of the children scatter, and are believed to be dead.  This could explain why Han and Leia's relationship had taken a turn for the worse, after learning that their children may have died.  This would also explain why Luke goes into seclusion, feeling responsible for their deaths and the guilt of not being able to protect them.

It's also being reported that Rey is actually Kira.  This would explain how she doesn't know that Han and Leia are her parents.  If she escaped at a young age and ran off somewhere, she might have forgotten her past and who she really is.

The last bit of news I'll leave you with is this.  The Empire has a new weapon called the Catapult.  Not much is known about this weapon, but it sounds like the Catapult takes it's energies from a ground location, which is being referred to as The Evil Castle, and then directs it's energies towards its intended target.  Leia's main goal is to destroy the Catapult,  but in order to do this, both the ground location and it's directional array have to be destroyed.  The Rebels aren't completely defenseless, though.  They have their own secret weapon called the Sledgehammer.  This weapon sounds like a type of kamikaze-type craft that is capable of taking out a full-sized Star Destroyer.

So what do you think?  Does any of this sound plausible?  Or is this just more smoke being blown up our bums?  By the way, the whole Jedi Academy and the attack by The Seven thing sounds like it will be shown as a flashback scene in the movie.  That's it for today, but stick around for tomorrow's post, and I'll explain how you can find out what's been going on with our ragtag group of heroes over the last thirty-some odd years!
