SPECULATION Is Luke Rey's Father? - The Evidence For and Against

I'm not sure Rey's parents are any of the original characters.

As it's already been stated, she was left on Jakku well before the massacre. So I started thinking...

What is she's the daughter of Galius Rex? It kind of fits the time-line, and he was on Jakku for an awful long time. Maybe the scene in TFA was a red herring, and they weren't dropping her off, but visiting and she like a young Galius wanted to go with.

Also, it's possible that she is Luke's kid, but Luke never knew he had a kid. He got close to someone at the Academy or on his travels with Lorn Tor Sekka, and she left and didn't tell him he had a daughter? If you look closely at the end of TFA, he's on the verge of tears...

Just my 2p's worth

 

there are some theories that have Gallius Rax as being Snoke. if both that theory and yours were true, then we'd have Snoke being Rey's father, which i'm thinking won't happen; it'd be too much like Vader and Luke.

if Rax isn't Snoke, however, then i could see him being her father i guess? he was on Jakku before Palps got him on board, and then he stayed there guarding ??? for a while, so the connection is there.

 

Except the problem with both of these posts, is JJ Abrams comments that her parents "Are already in her world."

It was in response to his first statement "Her parent's aren't in TFA." Which of course led people to say "Oh! So then it can't be Luke as the father."

And in the same interview he clarified - "Well, what I mean is that she doesn't know who they are yet, but they are in her world."

So, either he lied to cover himself (quite possible) or she's the daughter of somebody we did meet in TFA - most likely Luke or Han/Leia.

 

ok, so the problem with this post is that you end with an either/or lol

one could argue that since Snoke is sort of part of her world she could be his daughter. sure, they haven't directly met, but he is influencing her life in TFA via his orders and open concern and desire to have her in his presence.

so i guess the only way it could work is if Gallius Rax is indeed Snoke, otherwise i think you're right, he's not really related to or connected to the story of TFA as confined to JUST the story we learn from that movie.

 

“What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in Episode VII. Not that they may not already be in her world,”

May not is not a truth.

He screwed the pooch there and he knew it.

 

"Something that Rey thinks about, too."

 

It's all there... isn't it?



... and if so, Han and Leia were really sh!tty parents.

 

Magnar Holmes

 

Well considering she just didn't outright say ''Nooo, don't be silly child'' after that, tells me that Raeh would have been right.

That could very well be it. Although the timing of the spoken words were chosen intelligently by Kasdan and Abrams. It implies much interpretation.

 

MagnarTheGreat is obsessed with Rey Solo theory. Nothing in that post above is convincing, but he likes to chime in from time to time with some videos and random quotes. I admit, they're fun to look at, but as its been mentioned, Rey Solo is a long shot. Also, I hope the story group is wiser than to go down that road. It would be a dreadful choice.

The worst.

 

The story group has to find really good excuses to Luke if he's Rey's father but if she's a Solo, I'm wondering what they could find to make this credible.

If this is the plot then Kylo Ren did the right move, he's the light sider in the movie.

 

ReySkys are such hypocrites. Mega powerful Jedi Master Luke may think that his daughter is dead, but Han and Leia? No, sir. No way.

 

Actually, that is only way to make Rey Solo a possibility is for her to have been presumed dead. That is the only way in my opinion I can see it working.

 

I have no idea what this means. We know very little about Luke Skywalker so there's much people can presume. The story group has given us quite a bit in regards to Han and Leia. If they've left off a dead/missing child it would be a very poor story telling move. Sure, it's possible, but it would just be a dreadful move.

 

His sister's presumed death and the test of killing a parent would be somewhat like the EU/Legends story with Jacen and his younger sibling Anakin.

"Anakin Solo's death was partially responsible for his brother's [Jacen Solo] transformation into the Sith Lord Darth Caedus."
"[Jacen] used the weapons systems on his Star Destroyer in a attempt to destroy the Millennium Falcon and sacrifice his parents' lives in order to pass his final test as a Sith. Although Jacen turned to darkness in order to save the Galaxy from future catastrophes by enforcing order and security, Anakin's death was a factor that sobered his cheery childhood personality. This internal shift, which made him very rational, had a psychological effect that allowed Jacen to become more susceptible to the allure of the dark side. Upon meeting a Sith Lord, Lumiya, Jacen became fully convinced that the Galaxy would never have an enduring era of peace and stability unless he embraced his destiny as a Sith."

 

Once again a baby without a dead body is missing and any parent on any planet will search for her not capturing Raghtars or leading a war instead.

 

Rey's parents are definitely in her world, as in six feet under the surface of Jakku, two more nameless imperials hunted down and dispatched by our beloved hero Luke.

 

Interesting that they bringed that girl for auditions. Obviously, she doesn't look like Leia, Shmi or whatever.

 

She could have been up for Crystal Clarke's part. People have to understand that they used the open auditions to cast multiple parts.
