3. Will She Be A Jedi?

The commonly-held belief is that it will be Finn who possesses Force-sensitive powers in the movie, in terms of the light side, with Kylo Ren for the dark. This mostly stems from the fact that his costume display at Anaheim featured a lightsaber hanging from his waist.

This could indeed be indicative of the fact Finn is on his way to becoming a Jedi, or simply confirmation that they have found Luke’s old lightsaber and are attempting to return it. Could there then be a reveal that it is actually Rey with the ability to use the Force, and open the door for her to become a Jedi?

There haven’t been too many female Jedi in the movies to date, and if Daisy Ridley has been doing a lot of physical training then she could well pull off some great fight scenes while wielding a lightsaber, and provide a new hero for a new generation.
