Though we are sceptical, we can't help getting excited at the prospect of the professed things come true. This was posted on the StarWarsLeaks sub Reddit by the user LouEvilOne and here's what he has to say.
WARNING: HUGE POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
Working title is "Echoes of the Dark Side"
It's divided into three equally important plot threads that don't converge until the third act:
Rey's, Finn's, and Kylo's.
There's not nearly as much action as TFA in the first two acts, but the third act goes full-on
crazy.
The broad structure isn't as similar to ESB as TFA was to ANH, but the parallels are still
present. Rey is training in the ways of the Force with an old Jedi master (Luke) on a wild
planet while Finn and Poe are in a beautiful city that has a shady, sinister underpinning. Finn
and Poe are betrayed and captured by Kylo Ren who uses them as bait to draw Rey out of
hiding so Kylo and Rey can have a duel in an industrial portion of the city.
The backstory to Luke and his Jedi being wiped out is that Snoke seduced Kylo and a few o
f the other students to the dark side and tasked them with killing everyone. Luke and a few
others survived, including a young Rey who was subsequently dumped on Jakku by Luke.
Rey's mom died in the attack.
Rey is pissed at Luke because she guesses that he was her father and is angry at him for
abandoning her. Luke turns to her and says "No, you are my father".
Yes, really.
Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker. Luke went to the first Jedi temple to better
understand how the process works. He learned that the spirit of the chosen one is
reincarnated by the Force every time the universe is thrown out of balance, which
apparently happens on a semi-regular basis (Anakin was hardly the first time the chosen
one reincarnated). This is why she's so crazy powerful with the Force (remember that
Anakin blew up the Trade Federation donut ship by himself when he was like 8 years old).
Rey was the product of a virgin birth, but midichlorians aren't mentioned (Luke says "you
are a child of the Force").
Luke is hesitant to train her because, according to Jedi history, the chosen one always
struggles with staying on the light side of the Force because of the chaotic power running
through them. He's afraid that she could become Vader 2.0. If he trains her to fight Kylo,and
she turns dark, she would do way more damage to the galaxy than Kylo could ever dream
of doing.
He ultimately trains her anyway and leaves everything up to the Force. He makes this
decision in a scene where he confers with the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda (Ewan
MacGregor and Frank Oz come back).
