I like it. And the red logo… strange, but great.

Like the title. Short n snappy, with a certain amount of ambiguity to keep you guessing. And are we supposed to read more into the fact the text is red? The Skywalker quote is interesting, just stop messing around and make Rey a Skywalker already! Then you have the light and dark side of the family just like the original trilogy.
