In the months leading up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fans spent a lot of time theorizing about what might happen in the new film. When they finally got to see the movie, they discovered that there was still plenty left to be discussed, as not all the questions initially posed were answered. Moviegoers are now beginning the wait for Episode 8, and they’re going back to what they do best: speculating about Star Wars. Here are 10 amazing Star Wars: The Force Awakens Theories That Change Everything.

HAN SOLO IS STILL ALIVE

For longtime fans, it was very heartbreaking to see iconic character Han Solo meet his noble end, being murdered by his own son. Understandably, they don’t want to think about future Star Wars without Han, so some have hoped that Solo lived through the fateful encounter. After all, Darth Maul was cut in half and was later revived in the animated Clone Wars series, so why can’t something similar happen for Han? Unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking. Not only did the planet blow up, Han’s death was the key emotional moment of Episode 7, and Lucasfilm won’t want to undermine that. There’s a reason Harrison Ford isn’t in the Episode 8 cast.

KYLO REN SAVED REY

Ben Solo destroyed the Skywalker family when he turned to the Dark Side, but he still has a soft spot in his heart. Some think that Kylo Ren is the one who took Rey to Jakku where she would be safe. In Rey’s Force Vision, there’s a part where Kylo stabs someone about to attack Rey, suggesting he may have saved her during an assault. Kylo is also very interested in Rey throughout the film, asking “What girl” when told of her involvement with BB-8 and asking to be her teacher in the ways of the Force. The novelization implies he knows her, and this would be an interesting dynamic.
