The Top 3 Theories For 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
rebelwithcauses

The newest Star Wars movie is coming out in a few months, and I am stoked. I've loved Star Wars my entire life and when they announced this new run of movies, I was skeptical that they could come out as well as the originals. But, I loved both Force Awakens and Rogue One. My friends and I have been discussing what possible plot twists they could come up with next. While I could go into plenty of detail, I'll try to keep it as short and condensed as possible. These are just three of the best possible theories for The Last Jedi.


1. Rey's parents had to be Jedi.

Most people think that Rey's dad has to be Luke, or that she's somehow related to Obi-Wan. Because she is force sensitive, her lineage has to connect to a main Jedi family somewhere, whether it'd be Skywalker or Kenobi. If it is Luke, who is the mother? Midichrolries, again? Rey does specifically mention parents (plural) so we are safe to assume she has both a mother and a father. But the Jedi code strictly forbids marriage and sex, so Luke couldn't possibly have broken it . . .a main Jedi family somewhere, whether it'd be Skywalker or Kenobi. If it is Luke, who is the mother? Midichrolries, again? Rey does specifically mention parents (plural) so we are safe to assume she has both a mother and a father. But the Jedi code strictly forbids marriage and sex, so Luke couldn't possibly have broken it . . .

. . . or could he?

2. Luke is a Grey Jedi.

Grey Jedi are a part of the extended Star Wars universe, though still considered canon -- it means that the Jedi has a mix of Old Republic Jedi code and Sith force usage. This Jedi can access both the light and dark side of the Force; because this type of Jedi doesn't strictly follow Jedi or Sith code, he can get married and procreate without issue. Qui-Gon Jinn, who appears in The Phantom Menace, was also thought to be a Grey Jedi, though it has never been officially confirmed. Since Luke has been in hiding for so long after Kylo Ren destroyed his new posse of Jedi, he could have learned from numerous force ghosts, including his father and Yoda. He would have learned how to access the dark side of the force without becoming completely consumed by it as Anakin and Kylo Ren did. However, Anakin/Darth Vader shows us that someone who has turned from the dark side can be fully redeemed and turn back to the light. Which leads me to the next theory . . .

3. Kylo Ren turns to the light.

While I don't personally want this to happen, it is completely possible. I love Kylo Ren. I love his story, how he grew up with probably the most dysfunctional parents ever (sorry but I can't really envision any child growing up with Chewbacca and Han in the same house to be sane), and how he longed for something different in his life. I wonder if Leia and Luke told him of Vader turning to the light before he died, how he sacrificed himself for Luke instead of allowing Palpatine to continue his ugly reign of terror. If they did, Ben Solo had to completely disregard his grandfather's regrets and only go after the lures of the dark side that so quickly turn into pain. The pain of killing his own father could be enough for him to seek out of Snoke's influence, and back to the light.


Obviously, there are tons more theories I could go into, like, who is Snoke? Where does Finn fit into this? Is Poe going to get together with Finn? So many questions, so much more time to wait. The Last Jedi is in theatres December 15th, hopefully we will get some answers then.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
