As great as Star Wars: The Force Awakens was, it's easy to understand where some fans are coming from when they describe it as somewhat unsatisfying due to the very long list of unanswered questions it leaves viewers with. While some of those won't be answered until Rian Johnson's Episode VIII is released in 2017, others have already been addressed in some pretty obscure places! From tie-in novels to visual dictionaries and art books, many of the so-called plot holes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens have now been explained, and big chunks of the movie make a lot more sense as a result. Whether it's the backstories of certain key characters, the origin of Kylo Ren's lightsaber, or some shocking revelations in regards to how much the Galaxy has changed since the events of Return Of The Jedi, let's take a look at answers to eight of the biggest questions you've been asking yourself since first watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens last month. While the leaked script shed some light on the secrets of the J.J. Abrams helmed release, those pale in comparison to what has now been revealed, and it goes without saying that there are spoilers ahead!
