Even though it was the first movie in the sequel trilogy, The Force Awakens leaves many plot points unresolved eight years after it released.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When the credits rolled for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, viewers were left with a wide array of questions. It was, after all, the first installment in a new trilogy, ending deliberately on a literal cliffhanger with the promise of answers in following installments. However, with sequel trilogy now in the rearview mirror, the film still leaves some questions unresolved eight years after it was released.
10 How Did Maz Kanata Get The Skywalker Lightsaber? The old friend of Han Solo may only appear for a few moments throughout the trilogy, but Maz Kanata plays a vital role in Episode VII. Maz is the one to give what was originally Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber to Rey, even though it had been lost when Luke Skywalker's hand was cut off in The Empire Strikes Back. For years, many have wondered how Maz got her hands on it.
8 What Made R2-D2 Deactivate? Known for being by the protagonist's side throughout both of the trilogies that came before, R2-D2's presence is missed in The Force Awakens. He was said to have voluntarily deactivated, but for what purpose? Did he shut down out of sadness because Luke was no longer there, or was there another reason? An iconic character's lack of involvement warrants some sort of explanation, but viewers were left with none.
5 What Happened To Han And Leia’s Relationship? Even in the best of times, Han and Leia never had the most stable relationship. The two argued throughout the original trilogy, but despite that, they always shared intense chemistry. While it stands to reason the two might drift apart, especially with the loss of their son to the dark side, some background on why and how would have helped to flesh out their story coming into the new trilogy.

Effect of the mirror force on the collision rate due to energetic electron precipitation: Monte Carlo simulations - Earth, Planets and SpaceWe study the effect of the mirror force on the collision rate due to the energetic electron precipitation into the ionosphere. We solve the motion of individual precipitating electrons with the mirror force, where collisions with neutral gas are computed by the Monte Carlo method. By comparing the results with those without the mirror force, we examine the effect of the mirror force on the altitude profile of the ionization rate. First, we carry out simulations of mono-energetic precipitation of 3 keV electrons whose initial pitch angle is 70 degrees at 400 km at L = 6.45. We find that the collision rate peaks at around 120 km altitude and that the duration of the collision is scattered in time with a delay of about 5 ms compared with the result without mirror force. Next, we perform mono-energetic precipitation of the different energy and pitch angle ranges. Simulation results demonstrate that larger kinetic energy lowers the altitude profiles of the collision rate, consistent with previous studies. We also find that the upward motion of electrons bounced back from their mirror points results in the upward broadening of the altitude profile of the collision rate. Simulation results for electrons with kinetic energies above 100 keV show that a secondary peak of the collision rate is formed near the mirror point. The formation of the secondary peak can be explained by the stagnation of electrons around the mirror point at 130 km altitude, because the relatively long duration of staying in neutral gas increases the number of collisions. Simulation results show that under the precipitation of electrons in the kinetic energy range larger than tens of keV with the pitch angle close to the loss cone, the maximum collision rate in the altitude range lower than 100 km becomes one order of the magnitude smaller. The results of the present study suggest the importance of the mirror force for the precise modeling of ionospheric response due to the energetic electron precipitat
