I don't think anything in these 'anthology' films will reveal anything from the 'Episodes' series, I think they'll be separate stories with only loose links and references.

There are at least 4 I can think of:

Lando Calrissian
Mace Windu
Finn
Captain Panaka

as well as some characters played by Black actors

Darth Vader (voice)
Jar Jar Binks
Maz Kanata

I'm sure she'll be woven into the continuity in some way.

Maybe Han had had an illicit liason with Jyn during his smuggler days - and Rey is their secret love child biggrin

That would also make Rey half sister to Kylo Ren.

Whites are in the minority when you consider a few hundred thousand Maoris in the Clone Army smile

And for all we know - every single storm trooper could be black. We have only ever seen one unmasked wink

Jyn would never shag Luke - he was a whiny, pyjama wearing prick around the time of EPIV biggrin

Kiddies like Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher then? Playing 19 year-olds in A New Hope? laugh

Plus, Felicity Jones is 32. Hardly a kiddie.

As for other comments about another "untrained" female lead, how do we know she is untrained? Assuming Jyn is a similar age to the actress playing her, she's had half a lifetime looking after herself running up a large rap sheet and building who knows what associated skills. Not a stretch that she might have a skill-set the Alliance leadership have identified as appropriate to the task.

Of course, she's a small, cute girl, so cue more of that Mary Sue crap that people labelled Rey with.
I see Harrison was 34/35 And there were other actors who were old.
I don't know the age of the new girl, it seems young from the trailer. laugh

She's appearing young anyhow.

The trailer looked great and it will be a good movie.

But my reaction to the lead was the same one I had when I saw deathstar 2 and planet deathstar. 'what again?'

How many times do we rely on the plucky untrained loose canon kid to save the universe?

OK not as bad as 2 trained jedi knights relying on a 7 year old doing a mega dangerous risky pod race thing but still...

The trailer does make her appear much younger than the actress who plays her - i'd have said early 20s based on the trailer and was surprised when I looked up the actress.

Han by contrast seemed much older and mature in ANH.

Yeah, Han had obviously seen a lot, done a lot. It balanced the naïveté of Luke very well.

My brother and I were the target audience for the 1st film, I was 12 in 77 and he was 10. We have been victims ever since.

I am looking forward to seeing whatever the franchise has to offer.

Anybody else buy those Stormtrooper (tm) 3 D glasses to watch Episode 7 or was it just us?
