Update:

The third and final trailer for The Force Awakens has spurred dozens of new theories about where the upcoming Star Wars film will take our favorite characters, new and old. We think some of our older ideas from the second teaser's release still stand strong. What do you think?

The second teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens flares up in the IGN office numerous times per day, so Episode 7 is on everyone's minds all the time. We are a rabid pack of purists, enthusiasts, and theorists with obsessive ideas about J.J. Abrams' follow-up to Return of the Jedi.These are our theories, informed by some combination of personal suspicion, gossip, and a deep knowledge of The Force. But, honestly, we have no idea what we're talking about, and these are the most insane things we could dream up.Rey, a scavenger living on the junkyard planet where the galaxy dumps its garbage, has found something that earns her the attention of the First Order: Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. For a Sith-obsessed hunter of ancient Dark Side artifacts, such as Darth Vader's helmet and ancient Sith laser swords, this is a beautiful prize for Ren, who has self-appointed himself the Sith designation of "Kylo."Stormtrooper Finn abandons the platoon searching for Rey, finds himself aboard a rescue vessel called The Millennium Falcon, and is discovered to be the first Force-sensitive being in the galaxy since Ren and Rey."There has been an awakening...The Dark Side, and the Light."Ren and Finn, respectively, are the only Force-sensitive individuals in the galaxy since Luke trained Leia to harness the powers latent in the Skywalker bloodline, and lost Ren to the Dark Side. This puts Luke on a path of redemption: Can he save Ren like he saved his father? And can the Resistance leverage the Light Side strength of newcomer Finn to get what they need?The Force Awakens is a series of pursuits -- the pursuit of The Force, and its return to the galaxy.Ren is chasing Rey. Luke is tracking Ren. Han is on a rescue op to save the only child he has left. Captain Phasma is hunting the rogue Finn. These pursuits bring us to a grander conflict, in which sees Poe Dameron leading Leia Organa's charge against The First Order. - Mitch Dyer, Editor Kylo Ren tampering with Sith artifacts, there’s been an awakening – the dark side and the light.During one of Ren’s rituals with the original lightsaber that belonged to Darth Vader, a shock wave was sent out through the Force, causing seemingly random people to gain Force powers – a First Order Stormtrooper named Finn, a junker named Rey, an X-Wing pilot named Poe, and a chrome Stormtrooper with great fashion sense. Luke’s senses perk up and he tells his sister, Princess Leia, that the saber must be recovered – it has become a beacon for the Force, drawing these new Force users to it.Poe goes on a mission to recover it, but after stealing it away from Ren, he crashes on Jakku. Rey finds him and his trusty droid, BB-8, and gives him care. The First Order is on the lookout, but they have a serious malfunction when one of their troopers, Finn, sabotages their Star Destroyer after a change of heart. He escapes to Jakku and crosses paths with Rey, Poe, and BB-8 before they’re all rescued by Han Solo and Chewie in the Millennium Falcon.They return the saber to Luke, who gives it to Finn along with a mission to recruit other new Force users across the galaxy before Ren makes Sith out of them. - Joshua Yehl, Comics EditorI doubt any of the three new leads are related to the main heroes of the original trilogy, and that Han and Leia probably never had kids like fans and the EU thought. In fact, I have a feeling Han took off on her not long after the events of ROTJ. Somehow being the spouse of an eventual queen doesn't seem fitting for a guy with such wanderlust in his blood. Hence the line, "Chewie, we're home." Or maybe he's like Odysseus and somehow got lost for years and years during an adventure and has spent all that time trying to get back to his home and wife. - Jim Vejvoda, Executive Editor, MoviesHunted by his own former Stormtrooper unit, he meets Rey, the non-Force-sensitive daughter of Han and Leia. She's been searching for the Millennium Falcon, which for whatever reason has led her to Jakku. Finn's Force visions reveal that Luke's lightsaber, which was lost at Cloud City, is also there, and leads them to an alien junk dealer/collector who possesses both. When the Stormtroopers close in, Han and Chewie show up and fly them out in the Falcon.They, along with many other new potentials, set out to find the only person in the galaxy who can train them to use their new gifts: Luke Skywalker. He won't be easy to find, and doesn't show up at all until the end. Others (Kylo Ren) will hunt for Sith relics (like Vader's helmet) and death sites to learn from them (possibly through Sith Force ghosts?) and resurrect their ways.Kylo Ren emerges as a new Sith Lord. The Empire split into factions following the deaths of the Emperor and Vader, and he seeks to reunite it under his leadership. That puts him in conflict with both the Alliance and the First Order, an Imperial faction (led by Captain Phasma), that prefers being masters of their own destiny, rather than living under the heel of an all-powerful Sith. They want to keep the galaxy Force-free, and are trying to eradicate the new Force users. It'll end with Ren defeating Phasma and creating a new Empire. - Dan Stapleton, Executive Editor, ReviewsIn J.J. Abrams' new star wars film The Force Awakens, we will completely diverge from the Expanded Universe. There will be no Skywalker kids, and Luke will have never built a new Jedi Order. Kylo Ren will be the first Force user to arise after the events of Return of the Jedi, and here is the kicker: He will have been trained by Luke. The plot of Episode 7 will have Luke in hiding, like Old Ben Kenobi, after his student has fallen to the Dark Side. Our new heroes will have to seek him out to be trained in the ways of the Jedi. - Frank Knight, IGN News EditorNext up: Which good guys could be villains, who dies in the end, and other weird stuff we want to see...
