    Based on fadein11's link: http://www.dailydot.com/geek/sta…

    "The novelization, unlike the movie, emphasizes Kylo's quest to figure out who Rey is. He can't believe that she's just a random scavenger. When she retrieves Luke's lightsaber with the Force to commence their duel, he mutters to himself, "It is you."

    Why was that simply line not in the movie?? A great cliff hanger that would lead into greater fleshing out in the next movies.

    • *simple lineETM
    • yep - I think the film was heavily chopped to keep it shorter. Which led to some of its flaws.fadein11
    • But this would take all of 3 seconds and mean so much! Either they have changed the overall idea that he recognized her, or it was a shite decision to exclude.ETM
    • i thought that recognition was addressed by him losing his shit upon learning the droid made it out with the help of "a girl".scarabin
    • maybe you interpreted that scene as him just being massively sexist?scarabin
    • I thought that too... but it's not clear enough. That simple line would have cemented it.ETM
    • i kinda enjoy being teased and wondering about things, figuring things out, as opposed to being beaten over the head by every point but that could just be mescarabin
    • while some people are angry that rey's history wasn't outlined it makes me excited because i know it's going to be addressed in future moviesscarabin
