So no immediate retirement for EV, then?

I suspect that's a fake-out. I think Finn is defending himself from Kylo with a lightsaber because that's what he has on him in that moment. I think Rey is the one with the force. When you consider her position on the poster, and in the trailer. It's her.

Why can't there be more than 1 force sensitive person in the movie?

Yes, Leia, Luke and Ren are in there too.

Maybe Ewoks are inherently force sensitives.  That would explain the battle of Endor

Well Attack of the Clones had a lot, but it didn't go well for them...what was it?, "execute order 66"

That was "Revenge of the Sith", but yes, "AOTC" had a bunch too.

Thanks for the correction, those 3 movies were a blur.  Hayden and Sam Jackson damaged my mind with their oscar worthy performances.  I am so happy they went back to the drawing board and picked people that are relatively unknown.

Just a few comments based on other comments here:

Regarding whether or not Finn is a fake-out force user.  I believe he IS a force user for two reasons:  1)  He's on the poster with a lightsaber.  That poster is going to be around for generations.  Why put that on a poster that would feel "fake" for years after the movie comes out.  2)  Remember the first teaser trailer when Snoke says, "There has been an awakening....have you felt it?"  And then....boom, Finn pops up.  What's that tell you?  The force has awakened in him. 

Regarding C3P0, he's with Leia.  In the behind the scenes footage you see him standing with the Resistance peeps, and Leia is part of that group.  R2D2 looks like his is with Luke, potentially.  Although that shot of Luke touching R2 could just be a flashback.  I am assuming Luke sends R2 at some point with a message to Leia or someone.  But R2 has always been Luke's little bud.  If Luke is in isolation, I can totally see him taking R2 along for the ride. 

And regarding Boba Fett, I don't know.  There is a Mandalorian sign on that place that Han is leading Finn and Rey into in the new trailer, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a Mandalorian place.  I think that might just be the pirate's den that we saw in the comic con footage, and all those signs represent different species, planets, etc, and Mandalore is just one of them. 

If anything, I think we get Boba Fett in the new Han Solo movie.  MAYBE in Rogue One.

Yes like Harrison Ford, not many are familiar with his work

Really? Was that needed?

It was just banter, by all means remove the post if you feel it was inappropriate or I offended you.

I know he had some movies before hand but was Harrison Ford really that well known pre Star Wars?

American Graffiti... that's about it, I think.

The guys that play Poe and General Something-or-another are in a movie called Ex Machina that is really good.  Should check it out if you havent already.

(Still unknowns though...just saying)

Before Star Wars he mainly had brief roles on TV series like Gunsmoke and a couple made for TV films.

I think Harrison was self taught carpenter working for The Doors before Star Wars..

Harrison Ford also played Colonel G. Lucas in Apocalypse Now. 

Whether this is accurate or not, not sure....

Ewoks will not be making an appearance in Star Wars: Episode 7 The Force Awakens or in upcoming Star Wars movies.

In a recently translated interview with Star Wars: Episode 7 The Force Awakens producer Kathleen Kennedy, the Lucasfilm president made clear that the Ewoks are unlikely to return in future Star Warsinstallments. Appearing at a Star Wars press conference in Japan, Kennedy was joined Star Wars: Episode 7 The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley. After revealing a bit about the fighting style of Ridley’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens character, Rey, Kennedy fielded a question about upcoming characters that will be featured in the Star Wars Anthology spin-off movies. The questioner specifically mentioned Boba Fett and Ewoks. Here was Kennedy’s response:

Don’t worry: Boba Fett is a high priority among our list, please wait. But seeing how the Ewoks could return is a little harder to imagine. It is quite difficult to give the many stars of Star Wars their own stories on film.

Yes!!! No more damn muppet (figuratively and literally) furballs. Trying not to rant about the improbability of tiny Stone-age level human-eating muppets with no exhibited guerilla warfare skill past "Home Alone"-styled capers defeating ARMOURED elite Imperial troops just in order to fit a ridiculous musical number at the end...

Makes it though even more likely that I'll enjoy a bit Ep.7. Unbelievably, I am sort of looking forward to it.

Wow...that is some serious Ewok hate there.  Maybe they should bring back the gungan's instead? 

I look at them as silly now...but when I first saw the movie as an 8 year old they were cool.  Lucas' "Special Edition" movies with the dance number at Jabba's palace and Han Solo stepping on Jabba's tale make me barf a little bit every time i think of them though.

Maybe bring back the Gungans for target practice... the Imperial Stormtroopers as imagined by Lucas are probably the worst marksmen in the Galaxy. They could do with the training.

My secret wish (which I understand why it would be unpopular - just not what SW is) would be that S.W. were to be re-imagined the way Battlestar Galactica was from a cheeseball 1970s sci-fi space opera to a nasty, grey, gritty complex world. I somehow find it hard to imagine Disney writing in collaborator local governments waterboarding Rebels for information on possible double-agents who allowed the Death Star plans to be stolen on their watch...

GL did that already.  Just try to logically explain Palpatine's master plan in Ep 1.

Now, more interesting speculation on Luke himself: https://medium.com/@robconery/luke-skywalker-sith-lord-f8a11072f246#.2n6rdwjxg
