JJ Abrams Reveals 2nd Word Spoken In The Force Awakens!
On the recent Star Wars episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live director JJ Abrams revealed the first word spoken during The Force Awakens. In case you missed it, the word was “This.” Not very telling at all. But since then, we’ve pumped our sources for intel and have learned the identity of the second word spoken! Keep reading for details on this sequel to the first word, and our exclusive speculation on what it could all mean.
JJ Abrams has been super secretive when it comes to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Despite currently being on a press tour to promote the film, and making stops at The Howard Stern Show, Good Morning America, and Jimmy Fallon, he hasn’t revealed very much. Abrams seems to be in constant Mystery Box mode. Fortunately he did relent during his guest spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he finally revealed a morsel of information regarding the highly anticipated seventh installment of the Star Wars saga.
Abrams shared the very first word spoken in the film to Kimmel and the audience. They were all thrilled to learn that “This” will be the inaugural word of dialogue in the film. FSW immediately got on the horn with our various spies to determine whether any other words of the film were known. As luck would have it, Jacen’s cousin Segundo, who works in PR (Puerto Rico), has a great theory on the second word spoken in The Force Awakens.
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!
The word “This” will be followed by “is” in the very first spoken sentence of the new Star Wars film according to Segundo. Below is an artist’s rendering of what it will feel like when the two words come together.
As you can see the verb really shines. “Is” guarantees there will be another word to follow, as it’s currently a fragment, and we doubt Abrams is going to leave a loose end right out of the gate. When asked how he could be so certain of his theory, Segundo pointed us to a list of the first two words spoken in every Star Wars film.
The Phantom Menace
Qui-Gon Jinn: Captain.
Radiant VII captain: Yes
Attack of the Clones
Naboo Lieutenant: Senator, we’re
Revenge of the Sith
[R2-D2 bleeps]
Anakin Skywalker: Lock on
A New Hope
C-3PO: Did you
The Empire Strikes Back
Luke: Echo Three
Return of the Jedi
Shuttle captain: Command station
The Force Awakens
Rey: This is
Segundo claims there is a Navajo Code at play in the words, which he cracked to reveal Native American poetry that led him to the word “is.” We’re really not sure whether he made the whole thing up, but it seems plausible enough. Of course, we all know Star Wars is about trilogies, so the third word is as important as the first two.
So we brainstormed with Segundo and his cousin Tercero via Skype in order to come up with a few guesstimations on what the first three words will be. Without further ado:
This would mirror Anakin’s patois in The Phantom Menace nicely. We can see Rey saying this.
This would be a line spoken by Poe in reference to BB-8. It would rhyme with the very last words spoken in the film by Luke: “My baby girl.”
This would help explain the setting of the film right out of the gate. We think Rey will break the fourth wall and speak to camera, serving as our tour guide throughout the film.
What do you think? Are we in the ballpark or did Segundo blow Snoke up our bums? Let us know in the comments or Tweet us, Facebook us, Instagram us, or Reddit us. We get around.
