C-3P0's arm is a tie in to the injury the Skywalkers manage to incur. The starkiller is an interesting name seeing as Luke was originally going to be called Starkiller instead of Skywalker.
Rey could be anyone imo, the story wants us to think that she is both the daughter of Han with how quickly she took to the crew of the Falcon but at the same time her story so closely mimics Lukes. It seems purposeful in that the writers want us to be wondering to create tension for the future.
I'm shocked that some of you guys disliked it so much, it was far from perfect but there were so many good parts. They managed to create some truly iconic shots and moments among the hamfisted fan service; when Rey was in the star destroyer at the beginning, when they zoomed out in the thermal oscillator, Rey and Kylo fighting. Those scenes were incredible, truly state of the art film making. Kylo Ren was such a good villain.
I think the point people make about repetition actually strengthens the movie in my opinion. The way that Kylo shares characteristic traits so close to Anakin is very very interesting, it's as if the movie is trying to send a message that people that behave like that tend to follow certain sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies or that they are more prone to following orders that are counter productive. There was more than meets the eye and I really liked it despite the few parts I hated.
