It's just a prediction though - based on nothing. But in regards to your spoiler'd tags...
Flashbacks and "ghost" scenes.
Nile Boogie Returns:
Maybe Kylo Ren and Rey are the new twins?

You know what really doesn't sit right with me? The new trailers, the factions, the designs. It's all just more of the same. All you need to make a good Star Wars trailer is a guy with a black mask and a red lightsaber, stormtroopers, tie fighters, x wings, and the Falcon. The Resistance and the First Order? The fact that NO ONE remembers what Jedi and Sith are? What is this, the galaxy where word of mouth circulates slower than Hyperspeed?

It's all the same notes as the older movies in an attempt to introduce a new audience. The problem is, EVERYONE HAS SEEN STAR WARS.

I don't think that sounds so crazy.  Think about our world currently.  How many people know innate details about the current military actions in the middle east?  of the Iraq War?  Of vietnam and the World Wars?  We have recorded firsthand accounts of events that took place, but not every minute detail of what occurred.


One of Vader's generals refers to the force as an "antiquated religion".  Han Solo didn't believe it's existence when first meeting Obiwan & Luke.  Is it so crazy that they kept it hidden from the public at large and the historical records show a rebel attack on the second death star is what took down the empire?




Regarding the comments about it being "more of the same".  Firstly, it's clear Disney is withholding as much new information as they can other than getting a glimpse into the new characters.  Secondly, this is going to act as a reintroduction into the franchise.  Given these two pieces of information, I think it's perfectly likely that Kylo Ren's Empire falls at the end of the movie & a different threat approaches the "rebels".  There's a lot of opportunity for these movies to swing in a fresh new way, I don't think we have enough info to make judgement beyond "yep, it's star wars".
