    yeah, that's a real interesting book because it's all about how Leia rejects her blood family and clings to the family she chose instead.

    No in fact its book in which she suffers because of her blood family and can not change that fact of her bloodline, ever.

    the key word is "suffers" ~ because that "family" is anathema to her.

    you're using too narrow a definition of "family" in your argument.
    it's the whole "ST is about the Skywalkers" angle all over again.

    yes, it's about the Skywalkers. yes, it's about family.
    nowhere is it required that Rey be literally either for those two statements to still be true.

    Rey and Kylo are two main antagonists of the new trilogy.

    If its all about family, they are family. aka Luke-Vader from OT, antagonists, but it was all about family..

    Let me show you the true nature of Star Wars.

    This is so true, but family doesn't always have to be about blood. Han, Luke, and Lea became family before blood and marriage came into the picture. While Rey could be Luke's or Lea's child, she doesn't have to be for it to be about family.

    that's one possible interpretation.

    another possible interpretations:
    • Ben is the blood-family they lost, Rey is the non-blood family they adopt.
    • Rey is the outsider who will save/restore this family.
    the Three Muskateers:. D'Artagnan is, in fact, the main character of the story.
    yet he is totally left out of the title.
    because the story is about his relationship with the other three characters even though he is the protagonist.

    if Kennedy said "this movie is about the three muskateers" we understand that she means it's about the protagonist's relationship with those characters regardless of whether he one of them (which he isn't when we meet him).

    Well, I don't think they ever used the word family on screen, other than Lea saying he was her brother. The idea is that family is about a close bond and relationship with a person or group of people, which they had. The word "family" doesn't necessarily have to blood related when it is used. So when they refer to family in the BTS, I take as both meanings, blood (obvious Luke, Lea, and Kylo at the moment) and a close bond with people close that you care about.

    If Rey would not be Skywalker the bloodline of Skywalkers will end by murderous Kylo Ren who would be consumed by the Dark Side. So we can be 101% sure either Kylo will have redemption or we have another Young Skywalker.

    So, I can give a possiblity Kylo will have redemption, and trough Love he could develop to Rey she can one day became his wife. She will became family.
    OK.

    Only other possibility is Rey is his cousin and Kylo will die/ or not in any case she will prevent extinction of Skywalkers as far as the Light Side of the Force is concerned.

    There has been a lot of emphasis on the three sets of saga films being referred to as the Skywalker saga. What if that is because that is what those three trilogies will be known as and at the end of IX the Skywalker saga is finished. Moving forward the saga may focus on something else. Rey not being a Skywalker will allow for that

    Watching the clip, the terrain doesn't seem to Match Ach-to. It isn't steep enough. It seems to match up more with the coast of Dubrovnik seen here, with a quick rise that flattens out into a plateau.

    I think its possible that a major betrayal is in the works.


    Huh. Wishful thinking. Even if she is a Skywalker this doesn't confirm it.

    If you want to know whether Rey is a Skywalker, think about the movie that Ridley compared her role in TFA with: yes the movie Mulan (1998), and this scene in particular.

    She'll know where Crait is without being told, be aware of the FO attack before it happens, convince Luke they have to go, jump out of the MF into a skimmer cockpit, a skimmer she's been piloting with her mind since leaving the water world, speak to every pilot in the Resistance in their native language reach the gorilla walkers first, jump out of the skimmer onto one walker while she mind pilots the skimmer so that it crashes into the head of another walker. She destroys all the other walkers personally or while mindmelding with the other pilots to carry out attacks on one or two walkers.

    And then she frees Finn, Poe, Leia, and Ackbar who are surrounded and about to be killed.

    Sincerely JJ, KK, and the high school kid they hired to do an outline.
