Johnson did shoot some stuff in the second trip to Skellig Michael.

They're going back there and to a different of Kerry location this summer apparently.

Bring on the next one.
re: your spoiler - dime pointed out that R2 could have awoke because the other part of the map that BB-8 had was close by, and that activated him.
I've only seen TFA once but from memory R2 woke when Rey returned after the kidnapping. If it was BB-8 triggering the awakening wouldn't it have happened before they went to the Death Star. (Or did it?)

IM pretty certain we will get an explanation for that. The shot in Rey's vision when we see Luke touching R2 is what im assuming him programming R2.

we'll see.

We should probably make a "Star Wars Theories" thread just to be safe.

The 15 Coolest Easter Eggs from Star Wars: The Force Awakens

His ID means something
The ex-Stormtrooper who goes by Finn actually has a series of numbers and letters for a name: FN-2187. That's not a coincidence. In Episode IV: New Hope, Leia's prison cell number is 2187. George Lucas reportedly used this number after watching a short abstract collage film, 21-87, that influenced him deeply.

Is Han Solo dead? Can it be? You know that was the question I put to Harrison Ford when the Golden Globes ended on Sunday night.

Ford and actress wife Calista Flockhart were caught up in a scrum of A list stars including Mark Ruffalo and Oscar Isaac, all of where trying to get out of the Beverly Hilton ballroom.

So I asked Ford if it was true that Han Solo was really dead? We see him killed with a light saber by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in “The Force Awakens.” It looks like he falls to his death. But remember, this is fiction– anything can happen to save Han Solo. And it seems unlikely that the final “Star Wars” trilogy would end with a dead Han. Also, patricide is kind of a miserable way to die.

So?

“He’s resting,” Ford told me, after repeating my question. “Is he dead? He’s resting.” He did NOT say, “he’s dead.”

Earlier this week, a source close to Ford indicated to me that he’d be back in the next “Star Wars” installment.

We shall see. My guess is, Han Solo is saved by a force in the galaxy far, far away.

Yeah, he was found by Maz who put him in a box for the next Jedi to find.
