VERY spoiler-heavy post!
- what happened to the rest of Luke's students?
- how did Maz Kanata get Luke's lightsaber?
- why did that First Order trooper have a stun tonfa a la Grevious' bodyguards, and why did we not see more of them?
- where did Supreme Leader Snoke come from and why is he force sensitive?
- who are Rey's parents, are they Force sensitive? Is her father... well, you'll probably have that idea as well once you've seen the "force" flashback/flash forward sequence.
- who are the Knights of Ren, because we don't really see an awful lot about that.
If that's the case, who's the mother?! I thought Jedi weren't supposed to have kids, or allowed to love. I guess that hypocrisy led 'young Ben' to the Dark Side!
A couple of things:
- I think Luke's students are all dead, apart from Kylo Ren - maybe also the "Knights of Ren".
- I think he had the tonfa... Because he had one. I don't think there's much more to it.
- No idea where Snoke is from but as for "why is he force sensitive" - I get the impression it's going to be similar to the EU - force sensitive people just come to exist.
- Rey's parents are almost certainly Luke and someone else. In the EU, Luke has to form the new Jedi Order, and he works out pretty fast that one of the reasons the old one died out was because it was flawed, and the new one has to have new traditions and ideals - one of which is they're allowed to marry/have kids. I suspect the movies will go the same way.
- As above, the Knights of Ren are likely Luke's other students.
Also, as for...
Snoke/Snoak.
- I strongly suspect that the form we've seen for him is NOT how he appears. I think they're going to do a Wizard of Oz, and that's just the image he shows. The reason for this is that Star Wars has always borrowed cinematic elements from other movies, and this seems likely considering his giant, holographic appearance.
- I also suspect the reason that Kylo Ren killed Han (narratively) is so that there will be a similar scene in IX, where he could kill Rey, but he doesn't - and that's his heel/face turn, like when Vader turned on the Emperor.
