My guess about Ren and Rey--they're cousins. Ren is the child of Han and Leia, while I think Rey is the child of Luke. Remember the scene when Mim(?) gives Luke's lightsaber to Ren and says this belongs to you? Ren has those "dreams"/flashbacks similar to the one Luke had in Empire Strikes Back, etc.

As for the X-wing having light speed capability, I'm almost certain this was shown in either Empire or Return. (Even the shuttle the Rebellion stole in Return had light speed capability as well.

By the way, my reaction to the film was pretty similar to yours.

Re: Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens

Meh. It felt like they were busier just trying to write all of the characters into a story than they we trying to make that story worthwhile. But that appears to be what the audience wanted. I'm just not one to bust into applause when Solo and Chewie first appear, or sigh when Leia does. And John Williams' music was only noticeable when they were using his old stuff. Daisy Ridley brought a lot of energy to her role, even though the feminist warrior shtick was forced, as was her relationship with the one dimensional Finn. I was glad to see Oscar Isaac get get some prominent work, though it wasn't much to work with. Last but not least, some of the action sequences were pretty good, though the humor was sparse in comparison to other recent movies in the genre.

Questions: [spoiler]Are Ren and Rey siblings? Is Ren dead? Which storm trooper was Daniel Craig? Did Ford require that Solo be killed off? Is X-wing light speed capability supposed to be a new technology (I don't believe they were capable before)--or was I not supposed to notice that?[/spoiler] And how, of all blockbusters, has this not made it into the Criticker database yet?
