Does Rey being 'sold for drinking money' make sense...?

    she's in denial.
    she doesn't want it to be true.
    She doesn't want to accept her parents did that.

    You'd be surprised how long people can deny something they know for certain (I'm not gonna delve too deply into this, but something similar happened to me a couple years ago.)

    Have you seen the drink prices in Galaxy’s Edge? Definitely believable.

    If Rey's parents (or whomever) was going to sell her, I think it would have been for more than just "drinking money".

    Unless they were alcoholics.
    And they valued drinking more than their child. Which is what is implied.
    Because that's what addicts do.

    I believe what Kylo told her is a mix of facts and falsehoods. Rey said they were no bodies. Beyond that I dont put much faith in what Kylo knows. He knows what he saw in her mind and that ends when she was a child. I dont think he could see their future and knows they were buried in the dessert. Unless of course he knows more about them and he put them in the grave.

    How does this work for people. Rey's parents have returned to Jakku before the events of TFA and they are in the village that the First Order attacks trying to clean themselves up before they go back to Rey. They are murdered by the First Order, but Kylo senses something from Rey parents about Rey. When Rey and Kylo do the whole mind reading thing he connects her with her parents in the village. This can explain why earlier in TFA Kylo had some sense of a girl on Jakku before ever meeting Rey.

    I love this theory. It is absolutely ridiculous and absurd. I definitely won't happen. But it's awesome.

    Much makes no sence. Like Rey & Kylo being a dyad but born 10 years apart.

    Hohum.

    I mean, kind of if you look at it from a certain way. If Rey’s father was, in essence, a drunk loser, then yeah it makes sense. If he were at an all time low, drinking and whatnot, then it kind of makes sense that he would sell his daughter. But to be fair, i think by saying “drinking money,” it was an exaggeration. It was prob money for alcohol and a mix of other things. The purpose I think is to emphasize the fact that Rey and her parents didn’t really have a relationship.

    What if Rey and her family desperately needed water and her parents had nothing left acceptable as trade but their daughter. She would be effectively sold into indentured servitude but at least she'd be kept alive until they could return and buy her back. That could be interpreted as drinking money.
