More than 70 Official Images from The Force Awakens in Hi-Res!
The site Stitch Kingdom posted an impressive gallery with 76 official hi-res photos from The Force Awakens. While most of them we’ve seen before, there are at least 20 photos that were never officially released before. All the photos are in high resolution without any watermarks…
We will post some of the most interesting ones here, but for the full gallery make sure to go to Stitch Kingdom.

Questions/
Unkar Plutt [the bloated creature that gives her rations everyday] was present, holding Rey’s hand as a child in her vision as at Maz’s castle.
Why Luke, or whomever abandoned her, would leave her in the hands of that guy is confounding. At least Obi-Wan gave Luke to somewhat competent guardians and stayed behind himself to watch over things. Dropping a girl of in the middle of the desert with some random alien just doesn’t make sense.
There other things of interest as well. Rey seems to already be acquainted with the Falcon prior to the events of TFA. Her remarks about it not having flown in years, and her apparent familiarity with the interior [she tells Finn exactly where the gun turret room is] says a lot. Add to that Unkar Plutt [the bloated creature that gives her rations everyday] was present, holding Rey’s hand as a child in her vision.
And If the ship hadn’t flown in years, why was is suddenly able to blast off? Why was it sitting idle in the first place? Why would Han allow some thug to steal it from him? Why don’t these ships have keys? It would solve a lot of problems!
Kylo couldn’t kill her when he destroyed the Academy. He left her on Jakku never be found by anyone. Snoke doesn’t know he did this and it will come back to bite him later on in the trilogy. Kylo would totally leave her with Plutt, but he couldn’t kill her. She’s related to him somehow. IMHO……
I am on board with this theory. I still think she is Han/Leia’s daughter. Like you said maybe he made it seem like everyone is killed so thats why they don’t say “and our daughter anywhere”
Maybe the Falcon was stolen by Kylo to take her to jakku and Han thought someone else stole it. He left it on Jakku and left in some other transport. After the slaughter it would’ve been easy for him to take it in a rush since it was his dad’s ship. She was left with Plutt and so was the ship. Just a thought.
That’s a good theory about Kylo stealing the Falcon, I hadn’t thought of that.
Logic says Luke, but gut says Han/Leia. And there’s something going on with Han and Rey, finishing each other’s sentences, her taking his place in the cockpit, etc.
The scene with her telling Finn what tool she needs for repairs really echoes the scene in TESB when Han is telling the Chewie what repairs to do in the Hoth hanger.
nice catch
Interesting but the age math doesn’t add up. Even if Kylo is 10 years older than she, he’d be like 8 when all that happened.
Let´s see. She was 5 when it happened – 14 years ago. He could be 29. So he would be 15 when helping the Ren to wipe out the academy…
Kylo would’ve been a teenager at the time and Rey looked to be around 6 or 7ish. Kylo’s mask could’ve been worn by someone else he admired, maybe the leader of the KOR, maybe Snoke?????
exactly!
She’s basically the Jason Bourne of the saga. The Falcon thing was moronic considering that it’s basically Han and Chewie’s child and there’s no way they’d skimp on security for that thing let alone have it stolen by two bit thugs.
When I described this to a co-worker, he made a connection with the sordid histories of old muscle cars from the sixties and seventies, especially when it came to Ukar’s modifications to the Falcon. I recall myself seeing a classic car parked across the street at my old job for years with no buyers; it never moved from the guys yard.
Surely the internal components would be worth something though, yeah? The guy’s a professional junker. Why wouldn’t he just scrap it for parts? Why leave it intact, laying there like a lawn ornament? He’s a classic Corellian transport restoration enthusiast? “Oh, wow! An old YT model. Imma fix this up good as new . . . someday, when the kids move out.”
leave it intact because he knows its history? Maybe he’s a collector not just a junker. Maybe he knows someone would pay top dollar for it intact
Well, it did make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Heck, he could probably sell tickets for folks to just touch it 🙂
he didn´t know it´s the Famous Falcon – Rey didn´t know either…
Why would anyone with a means to get offworld live on that shthole to begin with is the question.
One man’s shithole is another man’s paradise.
Simple. Easy money. The scavengers are forced to sell to you for food. Buy cheap, sell dear. It’s a sweatshop, Star Wars style.
Corellian YTs are actually highly prized in the SW universe for their ability to be modded from their stock configuration. So yes, Unkar was attracted to it as a ‘project’.
Rey and the Falcon: She has been working with Plutt fitting the modifications and upgrades, think that’s implied several times in the movie, as she knows what Plutt has had modified. Hence, she knows her way around the ship. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has flown before in the Falcon as a passenger.
Rey’s Abandonment: I’m going against the grain here. She is not Luke’s daughter, her parents are now dead (died sometime after dropping her off). She was abandoned after the Jedi academy massacre, as she is super strong in the force her parents were worried she would be killed or taken captive by the First Order. Rey and Kylo Ren have met before (the Jedi academy). Her parent’s knew Luke, and Rey was due to be trained as a Jedi when she got a little older, however she has witnessed force sensitive users in action, so is aware of their capabilities. She was left on Jakku with Plutt because no one could connect Plutt back to her parents, Luke, or the Resistance. Jakku was chosen because of its underpopulated harsh environment, a good place to hide. Possibly leaving Rey with Plutt on Jakku would prepare and develop her for later life. Plutt was obviously paid to look after her, perhaps somehow the Millennium Falcon was part of that payment, however Plutt is unaware of its true name. Lor San Tekka was also there to look out for her, a favour to the Skywalkers.
Look after Rey? Sure – litlle Rey, if you don´t bring me enough goods, I will not give you food and you die.
The Visual Dictionary says he regarded her as his best scavenger.
He’d be in no rush for Ray to leave his services.
Did I say he stuck to the deal without abusing his power?
She said it hadn’t flown in years.
Years is anything from 2 to beyond.
True.
there is one more interesting question. Is the Millenium Falcon indestructible? 🙂
I did kind of find it distasteful when it crashed around.
That is ONE of the reasons I believe we will find out in the next movie that it was actually Kylo Ren who left her on Jaku
Pretty sure we never saw Babbajoe anywhere in the film.
Actually, yes, he made the film. You can see him in the food line right after Rey before she meets BB-8.
Good eyes! I still think he would have made a cool sneak preview figure but none are even in the works.
He was in the first scene with Rey and Unkar. Second in line behind her. We get a glimpse before it cuts to Rey heading home with her “one quarter portion”.
I’ll have to look for that. I would not have minded at all if they gave him a bit larger part with a line or two.
Some great HQ stills here. Wonder if they’ll bring out a 4k version ? Although BluRay would do for now. 4k will probably be released later when hardware is more mainstream. Guess I’ll need to just dream of the 4K Box Set of Ep7,8 & 9 !
Fantastic stills they don’t need to have stills of the major spoilers to be interesting which i love
http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/star_wars_episode_vii_stills/les0020.x1068.trl3_088347.v02.jpg look at all those younglings i hope Ezra’s kids are not in there
That’s not the Jedi Academy massacre (if that’s what you’re implying). That scene happened probably just a couple of years before TFA.
…and you know that, how?
Ben Solo was still a young boy when the massacre happened. In this scene Kylo Ren is now the Knights of Ren master. From a timeline perspective, it’s simply not possible.
Pablo Hidalgo said so on Twitter.
I see Ewok hoods on some of these bodies. No joke.
There is a picture of Constable Zuvio in there but after 2 viewings of the movie, I swear I never saw him. What’s up with that? Was he in there? Was he just a character in the background? If so, I didn’t see him. Did you?
Word on the streets is that Zuvio is Plagueis and has a bigger role in Episode 8.
He was in a deleter sequence. He’s still canon, but he’s simply not in the movie.
Anyone else notice in this photo of the three stormtroopers firing on the tie fighter trying to escape, that Kylo Ren is walking up the stairs behind the helmet of the trooper on the right?

Good spot.
That’s a technician, not Kylo Ren. Notice that there is two of them.
Still not digging Snoke, more the implimentaion than the actual design of the character. Very fake looking for a “practical” movie. I don’t understand the decision there.
Dude, I don’t understand it either. That was totally doable with PFX.
They just took forever to finalize his design. I wouldn’t be surprised if Snoke is done through practical effects.
You mean when we see him again in Ep VIII ? I would not be surprised but on the other hand he’s played by Serkis who is king of Mo-cap
is it just me or is she missing a glove on her right hand?
