Could Rey be a clone of Luke ?

    While I really don't think so (still, at least it is more original of a theory) I will defend an aspect that people keep mentioning.
    Yes, you can totally make a female clone of a male.
    There are two ways:
    1) Remove the Y chromosome and duplicate the X. Boom, female.
    2) To quote Jurassic Park:
    And when I realize that the next line is said by Laura Dern, I start to get chills from the sheer coincidence.

    And on the how, there's always Luke's severed hand, which in Legends did result in a clone by the name of Luuke. Yeah, that was really stuupid.

    Now, I will remind everyone that from information that has been revealed from review copies of Bloodline, Rey has nothing to do with the destruction of Luke's Jedi and Ben's transformation into Kylo Ren. She had been on Jakku for about a decade by the time of this book and Ben's still training with Luke. And don't say accelerated aging as her age is stated in the Visual Dictionary (being born eleven years after Endor, making her 19 in The Force Awakens). So that part of the theory doesn't hold up.

    And here people were calling me crazy when I first brought up the idea...you validate how it would make sense :).

    I re-watched TFA yesterday and realized that all Rey's flashabacks had to be her own memories, even the first scene in the corridor on Bespin. The only explanation is that this is her "genetic memory", inherited from her DNA donor - i.e. Luke's right hand. The duel with Vader was one of the last memories encoded in the hand, which was cut off few moments later. It's something like "genetic memory" of cloned Ellen Ripley in "Alien: Resurrection".

    If so, the second scene (the one with Luke and R2-D2) must be taken from her own memory, since the hand was already cut off. That would mean that Rey has met Luke at least once in her life, although she may not recall this fact. Probably she was too young to remember, or the situation was too dramatic.
