![]() ![]() And while you won't get the answer to that question answered in your local multiplex this week, you'll get the answers to very different questions in Dan Trachtenberg's 10 Cloverfield Lane, in theaters this Friday. Hes usually able to get by on fear and threats alone, but sometimes he has to take physical action. Chewbacca is one of the most dangerous heroes in the Star Wars Universe. The answer to this question will likely come when Rian Johnson's follow-up Star Wars Episode VIII hits theaters on December 15th, 2017. A deleted scene from The Force Awakens shows Chewbacca following through on a Han Solo threat from A New Hope. Why was she chosen to go on this important mission and not someone who has seniority in the Resistance? Is it just because Luke's lightsaber found her in Maz's castle, or is there something more to it? Which is not an entirely bad theory as a couple of scenes later, Rey is personally sent off to find Leia's brother Luke Skywalker. Since the release of the film, fans have theorized that the hug signals that Leia knows Rey, proving she is of Skywalker heritage. And I think Abrams is right: if the shot had been blocked in a different way, with Chewbacca running with Finn in his arms to awaiting medical personnel, no one would have thought any differently.īut then some viewers may have still wondered why Leia sought out Rey. ![]() Hopefully this explanation brings some peace to the galaxy of fans who have been scratching their heads since the release of the movie. So there you have it, from the guy who co-wrote, directed and produced the movie. But because he was right there, passed by Leia, it felt almost like a slight, which was definitely not the intention. Had Chewbacca not been where he was, you probably wouldn't have thought of it. And that reunion would be a meeting and a reunion all in one, and a sort of commiseration of their mutual loss.īut Abrams realizes that some people saw it as a slight and admits that the real mistake may have been in how he blocked that shot: The idea being that both of them being strong with the Force and never having met, would know about each other - that Leia would have been told about her beyond what we saw onscreen and Rey of course would have learned about Leia. So I tried to have Chewbacca go off with him and focus on Rey, and then have Rey find Leia and Leia find Rey. My thinking at the time was that Chewbacca, despite the pain he was feeling, was focused on trying to save Finn and getting him taken care of. That was probably one of the mistakes I made in that. Before I talked Cloverfield, I had to ask him one question about The Force Awakens: Why did Leia hug Rey instead of Chewbacca? Here was Abrams' answer: Abrams over the phone, as the film he produced, 10 Cloverfield Lane, will premiere in New York City tonight. I chatted with Star Wars: The Force Awakens director/producer J.J. ![]()
