Rey's Father is Luke Mother is Phasma Snoke is Plagueis
My Comment:
I agree about Phasma, here is what I had to say about this on my Star Wars blog before I saw what anybody else was thinking: As has been noted by many a reviewer, Force Awakens mirrored plot points from A New Hope. This was also done to some extent in the prequels. If Episode 8 uses the same mold, then a big reveal akin to Luke Skywalker learning his father is Darth Vader is in store and Rey as the female Luke character being revealed as Luke's daughter does not fit the bill. For one, it is widely believed already that this is the case and would not be enough of a surprise. Furthermore, it would not be a revelation of being the seed of evil as was the case for Luke in Empire. Since Rey is a female, Captain Phasma being outed as her mother would make a lot of sense and further explain why Luke became a recluse.

Snoke IS Darth Plagueis confirmed? Star Wars Episode VII [Dash Star]
This theory makes a lot of sense. With the Sith supposedly being destroyed at the end of Return of the Jedi, who else could this supreme leader be that knows the dark side of the force and the ways of the Jedi, besides the Sith that knew how to cheat death.

Star Wars is NOT Illuminati
If I see one more person showing these images and claiming Star Wars is Illuminati I'm going to scream. If these images represent anything other than stylistic artwork, then they represent the singularity of awakening either in darkness or in light. The one eye symbolism can also represent the "the one eye of good, evil forever eradicated from this planet."
Star Wars hasn't demonstrated in any way an intent to destroy God, but rather to beg the question, to expose tyranny, and most of all to entertain.

Get Over It! Force Awakens is BETTER Than Empire Strikes Back - My Force Awakens Rant/Review
Everybody everywhere I've looked is still ranking Empire over Force Awakens, however, many are ranking it just behind Empire. I watched Empire right before going to the theater last night. It's not better! It's 35 years old and yes that matters! I'm 34 now, but as a youngling I wore a storm trooper helmet to my Grandfather's funeral (I thought he was sleeping) and mimicked Darth Vader's breathing all day when spoken to, so don't think I'm not a huge understanding fan of the original trilogy. All I'm saying is, if you are ranking a movie made this year right behind a movie made over 3 decades ago, the benefits of modern movie making ought to nudge the new comer into first place alone.
To frame it another way, imagine that this latest installment was made by George Lucas just 5 or 10 years after Return of the Jedi, would you easily deem it the top film in the series then?
If you are ranking Empire behind Force Awakens what is your basis? An epic reveal does not a better film make. Many of the best elements from the original trilogy are in the new film, but done in a fresh supped-up way, with new interesting characters and developments in the saga. I realized at two different points during the film that my jaw hurt from me unknowingly clenching it whilst being enthralled by the storytelling.
The acting this go around is superior to Empire. In fact, the only acting I've seen complained about came from Carrie Fisher who did seem to have lost a step. The directing of the new film is arguably better too, but again that may just be a result of modern film making techniques and budget. It certainly looks 100% better! It's very-highly realistic in both its use of practical effects and CGI. Hell, it might as well have been real aliens and space ships as far as I could tell the vast majority of the time.
First people bitched that the prequels were too different from the originals, now they are complaining that new one is too much like the old ones. Spoiler Alert! Entertainment Weekly writer Chris Nashawaty complains that the "more lethal Death Star and the Rebels' plan to blow it up is pretty much cribbed from the same playbook they used back in 1977." Watch the video "Everything Wrong With Return of the Jedi" below and you decide which film rehashes the 1977 formula more and in a less original way! Not to mention the new film makes a funny joke about how there has to be some way to blow the thing up in reference to the uber Death Star. The Star Wars is too much like Star Wars argument is silly and Kevin Smith addresses it in his excellent review. You got what you asked for... now just admit it already... THE BEST STAR WARS MOVIE EVER!
Thank you J.J. Abrams and God bless you George Lucas! Yes, without Lucas this film wouldn't have existed so he gets credit for it too, but Empire should not win because of this either.

The Inter-Dimensional Entities Behind the Dark Agenda That’s Taking Over the World
By Angela Pritchard
belsebuub.com
Many feel that there is a multidimensional cause behind the sinister agendas afflicting the world (such as the New World Order). But it is possible not just to sense, but to actually know and uncover its root through firsthand experience. And, unless the root is uncovered, its octopus like tentacles will continue to regrow and find new ways to influence the world, even when several have been cut off.
It is difficult to overcome that which we are ignorant of, and by using information both from research and multidimensional experience we can discover the connections between events in the physical world with their multidimensional source to reveal the octopus right to its head.
While research alone gets someone so far, ultimately this is an esoteric matter as those at the “center of the spider’s web” are multidimensional entities who have awakened in darkness and have been working on this agenda since ancient times. They influence world events through a specific dark occult society whose members have also awakened in darkness and thus are able to communicate with them and access the intelligence of evil. These entities work beyond the realm of ordinary perception, and thus are discovered only by those who can meet and uncover them in these dimensions beyond the body.
What good people are trying to go up against then, is not simply the visible outer reaches of the octopus such as a corrupt banking or political system etc., but the very hierarchy of darkness itself.
Awakening in information is good, but what is needed is an awakening in consciousness, so that we can perceive reality beyond the visible five sense limited experience of life. By doing this we can begin to access the intelligence of light and thus provide an effective response to darkness.
Many people have encountered these sinister entities since ancient times, and today they are appearing in the ever increasing numbers of near-death experiences, and likewise in other forms of out-of-body experiences including nightmares – revealing who and what these entities are and how they work.
Many of these ancient people had esoteric practitioners who were able
to discover information about these entities and realms beyond the body
by using techniques to leave and travel out of the body (called
out-of-body experiences), just as can be done today. What they
discovered became the basis of many of their sacred texts.
They understood the importance of awakening into other dimensions, as
it is part of consciousness waking up and seeing beyond the limits of
ordinary perception, and used it to uncover information about these
entities that influence us beyond our knowledge and sight.
They described these entities as tormenting people, spreading evil and havoc in the world, and inhabiting dark regions in lower dimensions which have been called hell, xibalba, narakka, the netherworld, underworld, sheol, the abyss, etc. in ancient texts.
Myself, my husband, and many people today and throughout history have discovered the existence of these beings firsthand by having out-of-body experiences, either through astral projection or involuntarily in near-death experiences, as these entities exist in dimensions beyond the body and appear in the process of death for those who go into hell/the netherworld.
Whilst accounts of near-death experiences in which people “go into the light” and experience heavenly and angelic beings and places are well known, perhaps lesser known and admitted to are the NDEs in which people have encountered sinister entities and experienced hellish regions, and there are many of these too. Although there are some cultural differences in interpretation, the accounts are similar irrespective of belief, whether they were an atheist, Christian priest, Muslim, Buddhist or otherwise.
These entities are also extremely prevalent in out-of-body experiences
(OBEs). A near-death experience is essentially an out-of-body
experience, so it is possible to travel to these same places out of the
body using exercises of astral projection (which obviously does not
involve death or being near it). Almost everyone who starts exploring
other dimensions through having out-of-body experiences is soon
confronted with negative beings that try and thwart their attempts to
wake up and see beyond the physical body. This is because people who are
able to astral project in a serious and objective way are considered a
real threat, as it is possible to use OBEs to truly uncover who and what
these entities are beyond the limitations of physical perception.
Myself, my husband, and many others I have spoken to, have encountered demonic entities whilst out of the body on countless occasions; and my husband has been able to explore them down to their root in the underworld, in the lower/infra-dimensions out of the body. In the astral plane, these creatures move around and are able to influence not only events in the physical world, but even people’s own psychological state of being.
I remember one occasion where I was with a group of people doing an
exercise to astral project. We had cast a circle of light around us;
when I came out of my body I saw a demonic figure looking in through the
window of the room, unable to get into the circle, but chanting an evil
invocation to try and thwart our attempts to leave our bodies. This
figure was only visible from the astral, not the physical world, yet was
nevertheless influencing all of us in the room by trying to muddy our
consciousness with negative thoughts and energies.
It was able to ruin the practice for the group involved, but influences like this in daily life can cause strife by stirring up emotions, influencing decisions, and leading events and individuals into darkness, evil, and failure.
Many people have also unknowingly had experiences with these entities and the hellish regions where they reside through nightmares or night terrors, as in them a person goes out of their body in sleep into these lower dimensions. Many of the monstrous negative entities they may find themselves running from can be real demonic entities.
People who are trying to awaken in light can be shown information in dreams and out-of-body experiences about demons, how they influence society, and who they work with beyond what someone in the physical world could be able to see. But information from the astral is not just limited to demons – it can be about potentially anything. Astral projection and other spiritual practices, then, become a powerful and effective means to learn how to overcome evil when combined with a spiritual work.
So what are these entities? Are they human, animal, extraterrestrial or something else entirely? In my experience out of the body, these entities are either human or once were. And while this may sound far out, this concept is actually explored in a number of our own modern myths.
“Going to the dark side” was popularized by the Star Wars films created by George Lucas, and this same concept appears in The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. Both Lucas and Tolkien studied ancient myths and religions, and their depiction of the supernatural conflict between those who have awakened in light and those who have awakened in darkness, in many ways is quite accurate.
It is the same concept that appeared over 2,000 years ago in the
famous ancient texts of the Essene community (which Jesus was said to
have spent time with) called the Dead Sea Scrolls. They wrote about a
great war between the archangel Michael, his angelic hosts, and the sons
of light, against the demon Belial, his hordes, and the sons of
darkness. Today, this same concept has been popularized through movies
to form the basis of some of the myths of our own modern society.
In Star Wars the evil Sith use the dark side of “the force” (which is basically universal energy) for power and malice, whilst the Jedi use the force in line with love and cosmic principles; likewise in The Lord of the Rings trilogy there are wizards of white magic like Gandalf who use their spiritual powers for good, whilst the wizard Saruman turns to the “dark side” and uses his powers for evil.
These individuals who have awakened esoteric abilities, both of light
and of darkness, are pitted against one another in an eternal struggle,
with each side wishing to either uphold the principles of a free
society or to completely enslave it. This was portrayed in the sacred
teachings of the Hindus in the story of the Churning of the Milky Ocean in which the asuras (demons) and devas (angels) struggle as two opposing forces in a tug of war of cosmic proportions.
Individuals can both “go to the dark side” as Anakin did, and also repent and return to the light like Darth Vader. Demons can appear in the astral realm as human, or part creature, which reflects their hideous, bestial nature in which they have fortified the animalistic egos. But demons and black magicians are not silly monsters; they are people who have awakened in evil and this kind of awakening brings a knowledge of darkness, which can give them an intelligence and power beyond what any sci-fi movie could do justice to.
As these films portray, these entities are humans or were once humanoids who have “gone to the dark side” and are working according to a hierarchy of evil to control and infiltrate society.
Many of the entities written about in ancient texts are references to
ones that have specific roles and work together in a hierarchy of evil
in other dimensions. Demons of antiquity have major roles and are still
active today, thousands of years after they were first written about—no
longer needing a physical body, having awakened in evil. They are part
of a structure of evil that extends its tentacles right from the lowest
region of hell into the physical world.
My husband and I have been shown out of the body how they work through dark secret societies, which channel covertly through a religion, and are communicating with a very small group of people here on earth who are going through the process of awakening in darkness. These disciples of darkness are using OBEs to get knowledge from ancient demons who themselves are beyond physical death and working with an immense evil intelligence on an agenda which is thousands of years old. A key part of it is putting down and propagating hatred towards anything that gives knowledge about them and other realms of reality, such as sacred, esoteric, and religious texts—spreading lies, disinformation, division, and bigotry. They do not want another Jesus, Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, or anyone who awakens spiritually in light, nor spiritual societies that operate for good who could counter their influence, and they are on a stated mission to stamp them out in the documents of their plans which have leaked to the public, such as those of the Bavarian Illuminati.
They hijack and invert spiritual symbols and even religions, taking symbols that attract forces of light to instead use them to give power to forces of darkness; and at the same time give esoteric knowledge a bad name. That is why so many inverted symbols are now literally pouring out of Hollywood and the music industry.
It is important to note however, that all but a handful of people who are part of the agenda are simply in it for greed and money, forming the structure of puppet politicians and celebrities, shadow governments, criminal syndicates, and massive corporations that are manipulated by the very few at the top of the pyramid to control the many. They use human weakness and defects such as greed, ignorance, lust, and violence to entice, control and enslave their puppets, as well as the masses.
Just as the Sith were small in number in Star Wars, so are those working directly with these demonic entities as very few are actually up to it (Aleister Crowley tried and failed very publicly), because just as awakening in light requires discipline and adherence to certain practices, so too does awakening in darkness. The number of “Jedi” are even smaller. Instead most people are unknowing of multidimensional realities, they have no interest in really finding out what is going on, and their lives are simply determined by where the war between light and darkness is at.
So where does that leave us? Making a decision about where we stand
in this eternal struggle in which our own awakening is at stake. The
only way the Jedi can return is if we put this struggle into its true
context and allow the real warriors of light to do their job. Society
has almost totally turned on esoteric knowledge and practitioners, and a tidal wave of censorship is set to wipe anything esoteric off the internet
and strangle it on the ground. So long as the Jedi remain broken up and
abandoned in exile to the far reaches of society (like Yoda in the
swamp infested planet of Dagobah and Obi-Wan Kenobi as an old hermit on
the planet Tatooine) there will be no happy ending. The world
desperately needs people who can use OBEs to get knowledge about the
inner workings and plans of evil, who meet the requirements to receive
spiritual wisdom from higher beings, and have awakened spiritual/psychic
faculties.
Ultimately, the agenda of evil is about stopping people from awakening spiritually; not just in information, but in consciousness, as at the end of the day, that is really what life is all about. And ultimately, that is where the war is.

Ancient Accounts of Sinister Extra-Dimensional Entities
Ancient people have been writing about demonic entities since recorded history. They have been given many different names such as the asuras (of the Hindus), tzitzimimeh (of the Aztecs), the shayātīn (of Islam), the guardians of the netherworld (in ancient Egypt), shedim (in Judaism), alu (to the Babylonians and Assyrians) and of course demons (in Christianity), etc.
Esoteric
practitioners throughout history have been able to interact with
non-physical beings through dreams and out-of-body experiences.
They described these entities as tormenting people, spreading evil and havoc in the world, and inhabiting dark regions in lower dimensions which have been called hell, xibalba, narakka, the netherworld, underworld, sheol, the abyss, etc. in ancient texts.

Demonic Figures in Near-Death Experiences (NDEs)
Whilst religious texts have been looked at by some as mere tales, the ever increasing number of near-death experiences (NDEs) are now confirming the reality behind many ancient symbols and writings. A Gallup poll has reported that around 8 million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience.Whilst accounts of near-death experiences in which people “go into the light” and experience heavenly and angelic beings and places are well known, perhaps lesser known and admitted to are the NDEs in which people have encountered sinister entities and experienced hellish regions, and there are many of these too. Although there are some cultural differences in interpretation, the accounts are similar irrespective of belief, whether they were an atheist, Christian priest, Muslim, Buddhist or otherwise.
In Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)

The Force Awakens Is the First Star Wars Movie Without a Single Bad Performance
By Dan Kois
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/12/16/the_force_awakens_has_the_best_acting_of_any_star_wars_movie_ever.html
 |
| John Boyega and Oscar Isaac in The Force Awakens. |
As the reviews flood in this morning for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, they’re all pretty much … good! There are plenty of reasons for that: J.J. Abrams can really stage an action scene; the script offers plenty of familiar comforts but takes seriously its mission of contemporary inclusiveness; BB-8. But the main reason, I think, is an overwhelming sense of relief—relief that, unlike last time, a new Star Wars trilogy hasn’t been introduced with a movie that feels like a joke. Nowhere is that represented so clearly as in the fact that every single performance in The Force Awakens is good.
Every single one! Daisy Ridley and John Boyega? Great. Totally appealing and game. Oscar Isaac? A worthy wisecracking Han Solo for a new generation. Adam Driver? Very good, even in funny scenes where he’s just constipatedly trying to use the Force on people. Domhnall Gleeson works up a good head of steam as a bad guy. Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie are fun even though you don’t see their actual faces. All the original trilogy actors are at least good, even the ones who were sometimes not good the first time around. This is the kind of movie in which even tiny little parts are played by such estimable thespians as Max Von Sydow and … well, Greg Grunberg, but he’s fine, he doesn’t blow it.
That the fact no one in this Star Wars movie is bad at acting feels like a surprise, seven movies in, suggests how thrown-together the franchise has been in many ways until now. That it succeeded so wildly seems, in retrospect, thanks not only to George Lucas’ skills at mythmaking but to our own hunger for myths to call our own, even in the face of Lucas’ panoply of artistic weaknesses. This time around there’s no kid who just scowls through the whole thing, or his goofily-voiced CGI sidekick. There’s no 1977 Mark Hamill swallowing his lines, or 1983 Mark Hamill struggling to convey an agonizing battle with darkness. There’s no wooden Hayden Christensen or cackling, hammy Ian McDiarmid. When Lucas was directing his scrappy indie movies—and even when he was spending $100 million of 20th Century Fox’s money to do it—he could make those kinds of choices. But no longer.
Instead, The Force Awakens is a totally professional and capable Star Wars movie for which lots of people were paid tons of money to make sure the casting and performances range from good to great. Is this a betrayal of the junky, cobbled-together spirit of the originals? A little bit, maybe. The Force Awakens scuffs its high-lustre finish every once in a while, but it’s in no way a bucket of bolts. It’s a perfectly-tuned entertainment machine, a product of an era in which Hollywood has basically perfected the art of the 100-quadrant blockbuster. Everyone will like this movie: Teenagers in the Bronx, grandmas in Iowa, dads in Brussels, 1.357 billion people in China. Disney has boughtStar Wars, and the grown-ups are running the show. Say what you want about the Empire, but they get things done.

The LAPD and private security are targeting random people with ‘stop-and-frisk’ searches on public sidewalks before the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Police have also installed metal detectors on the sidewalks near the famous TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.
“LAPD and private security officers are already blanketing several square blocks around the famed Chinese Theatre, where The Force Awakens event is going down,” TMZ revealed. “We’ve learned anyone strolling through the [public] area could be searched, frisked, and even wanded with metal detectors.”
In other words, even people not associated with the event who are simply passing through a public area are subject to a warrantless search.
The film is premiering at the theatre Dec. 14, three days before its official U.S. release on Dec. 17.
