![]() ![]() The leadership and structure of the Knights of Ren is unclear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but it is to be believed that the faction is led by Supreme Leader Snoke (played by Andy Serkis), who is presumably also powerful in the Dark Side of the Force. He is a member of the Knights of Ren, a new faction of Dark Side acolytes, who work alongside the First Order. – Kylo Ren is a Force user, powerful in the Dark Side of the Force. – The scene in which Rey manages to pull the lightsaber out of the snow with the Force is an homage to the wampa cave scene in The Empire Strikes Back. You could also say that Rey’s journey to find Luke on an undisclosed planet at the end of the film is a parallel to Luke’s journey to Dagobah to find Master Yoda. Many could say that Luke’s own training began when Obi-Wan gifted him with his father’s lightsaber. This will undoubtedly lead into Rey’s formal Jedi training. – The same kind of inverse can be found at the end of the film, when Rey tries to hand off the lightsaber to Luke. In The Force Awakens, we can hear Stormtroopers referencing a “BT-17” in the background, while Rey is sneaking past them. One fun little thing here: in A New Hope, as Kenobi is sneaking by, we hear Stormtroopers having a conversation about the BT-16 perimeter droid. – Watching Rey sneaking around the Starkiller Base might remind you of Obi-Wan Kenobi stealthily deactivating the tractor beam on the Death Star. This is an inverse, though, since it’s Rey that needs to be “rescued.” She doesn’t, of course. – Like Rey’s first adventure, Luke’s adventure in A New Hopefeatures a rescue mission in a massive enemy base. Luke and Leia were also hidden from the galaxy by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, in order to keep them safe from the Sith. – It can be deduced that Rey is Luke’s daughter, hidden from the rest of the galaxy when the First Order and the Knights of Ren began to terrorize the galaxy. You can also hear Luke yelling, “NO!” after Vader reveals that he’s his father in The Empire Strikes Back. – Among the things Rey sees in the vision are the hallway where Luke and Darth Vader dueled in Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back and the rancor pit from Return of the Jedi. – In Rey’s vision, you can hear the familiar voices of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Alec Guiness and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Frank Oz as Yoda. In Marvel’s Star Wars: Shattered Empire by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto, Leia has a vision of Darth Maul after entering the hangar on Naboo from The Phantom Menace. An example from the films is the Dark Side Cave on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke faces off with Darth Vader. This isn’t the first time characters have experienced visions of the past, present, and future (or surreal trips) by coming into contact with something imprinted with Force energy. – When Rey touches Luke’s lightsaber in Maz Kanata’s castle, she experiences visions of the past (?) through the Force energy in the weapon.
