Who are these dudes in black to the right of Hux? Speculation that this shot was edited to hide them with formless black blobs.

Rian is a big liar. That shot of Rey with the lightsaber was reversed. :-)

Driver is on a roll now, discussing what excites him: character and narrative and cinematic influences. The original Star Wars was an homage to Akira Kurosawa’s 1958 film The Hidden Fortress, he says, and the link lives on in the new trilogy, in which concealed identities drive the narrative. Then he lets it slip.

“You have, also, the hidden identity of this princess who’s hiding who she really is so she can survive and Kylo Ren and her hiding behind these artifices,” Driver says, apparently dropping a massive revelation about Rey’s royal origins.

In the film, Princess Yuki Akizuki is forced to keep her identity secret and she poses as a mute. I don’t think he was referring to Rey. The writer just assumed he was.

So Adam was comparing Kylo to Princess Yuki.

I don't think that one person's comment on the internet "debunks" what Driver told GQ magazine.

I wouldn't think Driver would be dumb enough to drop a huge spoiler like that in the middle of an interview. I mean, they've surely been pounded over the head with what they can and cannot reveal to the public. That just doesn't seem like it could be an accidental oops slip.

The quote was taken out of context. He's referring to the Princess from Hidden Fortress.

At this point it sure feels like it's gearing up to be just that.

Unless you have the November 2nd edition of GQ magazine and are able to scan and upload the interview, your statement is pure speculation.

Or it could be that Lucasfilm has decided to reveal a bit more about Rey's character before Episode VIII in order to drum up more business.

Right now, it's tracking behind Episode VII, which is why we're seeing more and more trailers and interviews.

He's clearly referring to the Princess from Hidden Fortress.

He's not talking about Rey at ALL.

She isn't hiding her identity from anyone. She doesn't know who she is.

Yeah, crystal clear that he's talking about something altogether different.

Yeah, he's talking about...the princess...from hidden fortress...who was hiding her identity.

He's drawing a parallel between his character and the princess from Hidden Fortress.

I mean...that's not obvious to you? Not once has Rey attempted to hide her identity from anyone. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HER IDENTITY IS. :-)
