I think Rey is Skywalker's daughter. That's why R2D2 turned on at the end.
It's interesting to me that as far as I can tell, Leia never revealed her true ancestry outside of Han(obviously). Also, I think it's strange that C-3PO stumbles over himself trying to call her Princess Leia before correctly calling her General Organa.
It's funny. I watched the original trilogy in the last few days, and when the rescue mission escapes(Han and Luke shooting the tie fighters) Leia and Chewie share a somewhat awkward hug in exultation. I said to my wife, "Ya know, that looks weird, I don't think Chewie would hug." But I was 100% wrong. Chewie's a hugger. So yeah I was kinda sad for him there too.
From my geek reading the last few days, apparently that's why Han was frozen in Empire. Ford had threatened to not come back for a third movie. I hadn't read that necessarily wanted to be killed but after ROTJ was released, he said he thought it would have been a more fitting end and the only reason he wasn't killed was because Lucas wanted to sell more action figures.

If Rey is Luke's daughter, why was she abandoned? what was the plan behind that?
Go Gators!

I don't think she is Luke's daughter. I think she is simply strong in the force, or perhaps a descendent of Emperor Palpatine.
Just a gut feeling.

Search your feelings, RTG. By all means.
Just saw the film, finally. Loved the new characters though I was a little confused by Snook (sp?) Had a really hard time dealing with Solo's death, both because I adored him as a child and because we went so fast from finding out he had a son to watching that son kill him.
Kylo was at once the most fascinating and strange part of the film -- I found myself both snickering at his saber outbursts (we were supposed to, right?) and wondering whether we were really supposed to root for him to be good (I couldn't really; he wasn't likable enough).
Anyway, the tone and style of the film were spot on. As I believe I mentioned in another thread, those were the aspects of the prequels that were lacking more than plot for me, so I left the theater very fulfilled.

I predict that when we finally see Supreme Leader Snooki in person he'll be like 12 inches tall. I definitely sense short-guy syndrome. Maybe he's Yoda's rogue nephew
Stick to your guns.

Who found Luke's Skywalker's light saber from Cloud City from ESB and gave it to Maz?
