So I've been watching it over and over, now that it's released on Blu-Ray and I have the digital download on my iPad. And I thought the voice I heard calling Rey's name during her force vision, after touching Luke's lightsaber, sounded familiar. Turns out, I was right: it was the Alec Guiness-version of Obi-wan Kenobi. They had Ewan McGregor record some of the Obi-wan lines. But for her name, they actually took a sound snippet of Alec Guiness saying "afraid", and the "rai" portion of that had just the right inflection to use for Obi-wan calling Rey's name. How cool is that?
Oh, and they also had Frank Oz doing the voice of Yoda during that same sequence.
