Edit: Added links to sources.*
In 2010, Valerie Estelle Frankel established an analytical grid of the "Heroine's Journey" in mythological stories and tales, which is closer to the Campbell's pattern, while giving a more important place to animus and the confrontation of heroine with its male part.
Maureen Murdock also worked on this subject.
The point is that Rey has to be seen from a different perspective than the classic hero (Luke Skywalker in the OT). There's a feminine specificity in her journey path that shouldn't be neglected. Rey isn't just another version of Luke in Mary Sue mode. It's something else. We also see the importance of his life prior to TFA. If for Luke, the events really begin after his meeting with the droids and Obi-Wan, Rey's journey started right after his abandonment and his "separation from the feminine".
The Kylo/Rey tandem, animus/anima, darkness/light, dead/fertility, can refer to other romantic, mythical or fictional figures.
For those who are interested, Valerie Estelle Frankel wrote an essay about Rey's treatment in TFA ("A Rey of Hope: Feminism, Symbolism and Hidden Gems in Star Wars: The Force Awakens").
Finally, the official word! I don't know whether I should get the movie on Amazon as a digital movie with bonus content or the Target Bluray DVD set. If " Digital bonus offerings may vary by retailer" will I miss anything if I use Amazon?
You, my friend, need to read this book:
The Secret History of Star Wars
The book goes into Lucas' old drafts of SW and notes and basically everything that led him to creating SW. I agree with you that he made a ton of stuff up as he went along. Hell, he didn't even pick up on Vader being Luke's father until the middle of writing ESB script. It's all in this book. He basically went in to ESB wanting funds for Skywalker Ranch. Then went into ROTJ because he needed money because of his divorce. Then the Prequels were basically the same, needed money, kids were older.
The most interesting thing is the old drafts of SW and the names and places that were originally in place. The Jedi were known as the Jedi Bendu Warriors. Bendu has been introduced in Rebels season 3. The Ashla and Bogan were also introduced in Rebels. Vader was originally a different person and part of the Knights of the Sith. Knights of Ren are in the ST. Wendu was originally the main character. What I'm getting at is the LF Story Group is definitely picking through Lucas' old notes, drafts, ideas to assist in creating new SW content.
Well thanks for the conversation.
Since we're in the business of recommending books, here's one.

Lucas has always said his saga was about the Anakin (the father) Luke & Leia (the children) & then Anakin's grandchildren.

And more importantly this which draws from lucas's own notes & interviews during & after the making of the original trilogy.

From Empire onwards he'd intended a 9 or 12 part saga telling the full story of the Skywalkers. Over time it was condensed down.
I don't own it but I do see Kylo's page is a preview page on Amazon:

(I can't zoom in enough to read well on my phone ATM)
> The big difference between this and the Khan situation is that we hear Palpatine's voice in both teasers we've gotten and he's on the poster.
Benedict Cumberbatch (Khan) did appear on a poster for Star Trek Into Darkness.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LROSQVI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CiLIDbMECBT93
I do agree with you that the expectations of the fandoms are different. I think most fans knew, whether they liked it or not, that Cumberbatch was playing Khan. And we knew whoever Cumberbatch was playing, it wasn’t a small role.
But Ian McDarmid as Palpatine? We have no idea the size or scale of his role, if he’s alive, just a flashback, a ghost, or what. All this promotion and he could be in Episode 9 for 5 minutes or be in half the movie.
It’s a good’un. I bet it’s out in Trades by now, so it’ll be easy to binge.

I went to film school in los angeles, this book is bible in a lot of screenwriting classes. Those 5 pieces of "DNA" should break down into every Act, Sequence, Scene, and Beat in a good movie.

Regarding the context of Star Wars and its relation to Hinduism,
I found this very interesting, and am reading it. :) I've always known about Campbell and his influence on Lucas, and how Cambell was influenced by Eastern beliefs. Fun stuff.

~~Yeah, I thought it might be an artifact from the figure's design, but none of the other figures have it.
Edit: For Comparison.~~
Edit 2: Never mind, definitely a mechanical part of the figure. You can see where the top part of the torso ends just before the 'necklace'.
this is the book
https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Star-Wars-Legends-Skywalker/dp/1484780779
released in October 2017
the books is a collection of stories about Luke that have been passed on verbally across the galaxy. It illustrates the "hubriss" Luke often referred to in TLJ. The story of him learning to fish with this pole is the only one in the book that is told by a storyteller with first person knowledge of the events.

Wookie Cookies cookbook.
It is still listed on Amazon but with no track listing as far as I can see.
I really doubt the track listing would be available yet. Considering how well of a job they kept everything under wraps.
