10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Star Wars 7

2. The New Characters Are The Old Characters' Kids

On the one hand, this is one of the most blindingly obvious theories about what connects the new cast members in The Force Awakens to the elder statesman €“ Hamill, Ford, Fisher €“ that will be returning from the old Star Wars films. On the other, it's not quite as obvious as you think. Especially if you consider how many new cast members there are, and the likelihood of such a relation. So, Han Solo and Princess Leia having a kid makes sense. They're together at the end of Return Of The Jedi, it's not a huge stretch to imagine they'll stay as such and have children and the like. Most are assuming Daisy Ridley could be their kid, but you've still got Adam Driver, Domnhall Gleeson, and Oscar Isaac to contend with €“ not to mention Carrie Fisher's IRL daughter Billie Lourd. They'd've had to been at it like rabbits to get that many sprogs. Some suggest that Gleeson might be Luke's kid, but that would require him to have had the hots for anyone except his long-lost sister. Which means that Luke might have a romantic interest in the new Star Wars, too. Man, this is less space opera, more soap opera...
