  That’s the crazy thing, all the stuff with Luke being a recluse and found by the female protagonist (tentatively named Kira) was originally the story for Episode VII. But then JJ came on board, didn’t know how to handle all the Luke stuff, so he pushed that all back for the very ending and let VIII deal with all of it.
  
  Essentially, TLJ would have been beginning of the sequel trilogy, rather than the middle chapter.

  As much as I like Rey, I just don't get Lucasfilm anymore. As I've said before, at least EON waits for the right time to announce things. Kathleen Kennedy lacks direction with these films. She's no Cubby Broccoli, that's for sure! I want to defend IFP and EON, on much of this type of marketing. They’ll always be rumors, sure, but both will announce things when they’re ready to. It’s a shame that Daisy Ridley won’t probably be able to do a Bond movie, now, though. She’d be a good Moneypenny.
