Who are you? Or: Rey Skywalker, a Jedi like her father before her?

Alright, with filming for Episode VIII in full swing, I thought it was time to go over some of the multiple options for Rey's possible Jedi pedigree. In case you didn't already put it together from the title, yes, I think Rey is going to be of Skywalker descent, specifically the daughter of the one and only Luke Skywalker, but I'm not against delving into other origin theories for our Force-strong heroin. So, if you're anything like me (and, let's be honest, all Star Wars fans), and have been pondering Rey's backstory for over two months now (or years), then sit back and relax and see if anything I come up with blows your mind or just, well, blows...but hey, even if you think I'm off my gourd, a little thought-provoking Star Wars discussion is never a bad thing, right? Oh, and, in case you haven't read the novelization of The Force Awakens yet, spoilers incoming...

5 of the Worst Star Wars Experiences of 2015

Alright, turnabout is fair play, plus, even though I'm a self-proclaimed fanboy, there are (rarely) things I don't necessarily enjoy about Star Wars (very rarely, mind you). Now, to be frank, a few of these are sort of cop-outs because I have this lists of five thing going on the blog here and I couldn't come up with five concrete things I didn't enjoy (I know, fanboy, I already admitted it!), but they are all bad experiences...that doesn't mean I didn't like them, per se, just that they were bad when they happened (I bet some of you have already guessed one of them based on this long-winded explaination)...so, anyway, these are the five worst experiences I had in Star Wars last year, let me know if I'm totally off base and one (or more) of these was actually on your best experiences list...I'll think less of you if that's the case, but we can still be friends (maybe)...
