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

Agreed, Rey Nobody will end up a Skywalker. I just don't think she is one yet...

 

I'm pretty sure they won't go game of thrones on Rey's origins. As for who her mother is, she could be a character introduced early in TLJ like Laura Dern's character or a previously unknown servant of Snoke's. It's also possible they could make her mother a Mara Jade like character if not make Mara Jade officially canon. There is also Captain Phasma. She's supposed to be an important character but didn't do much in TFA.

 

Most of the fans buy Rey merchandise because she is a Force-sensitive protagonist/lightsaber-holding in the most popular franchise ever. It's more than enough to make people excited. Before TFA's premiere everyone's attention was on Finn because he was the good guy who used the lightsaber. Now, since we know that Rey will hold the lightsaber, everyone thinks about her. People do not care that much for Skywalker family drama as some may think to be the case.

 

Laura Dern is certainly possible. It's not going to be much of a big reveal though if it's a new character. Phasma I really can't see happening...

 

Im so sorry but i had to dislike that last comment.

From the mouth of Lucas himself "SW is about a family saga, it's not about spaceships".

Rey Jandoe ends that family. And that's it. Im finished with Disney Wars. As if ending Solo's life wasn't enough they now have 2 end the Skywalkers also?

No. Thats to much.

 

In TFA and TLJ we have: Luke Skywalker, Leia Skywalker and Ben Solo-Skywalker, Rey has no obligations to be a Skywalker, Luke and Leia have "big roles" in Episode 8 according to the president of Disney and there's strong hints that Ben Solo-Skywalker will be redeemed before the end of the trilogy with the help of Rey, so we already have our Skywalkers in the main characters and the continuation of the familial saga.

 

I don't disagree. Star Wars is about family. But confining your definition of family to a group of people that share genes is limiting. Think about "Up," "The Witcher" saga, "The Clone Wars," "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Dory," etc (wow, quite a lot of Pixar films.) They all share one common theme - they tell a story about non-biological families. Family is not about reproduction, it's about relationships. Agreed, it often pairs up wit biology, but not always. Vader is Luke and Leia's biological father, but if such a family existed in real world, neither Luke or Leia would consider him to be their father figure, especially Leia. He didn't take them to school, he didn't have to live through their first crush, first disappointment, first teething. He didn't have to worry about what they would eat, what they would wear, what they would do in the future. Owen Lars and Bail Organa were the ones that did all of this and people don't give them enough credit for bringing Skywalker twins up, especially in Owen's case. However, Leia and Luke even before they got to know about their relation were family because they were very close to each other. Rey can still be a daughter of Luke without him being donour of half of her genome.

Besides, if you're that worried about the future of Skywalker genes, Kylo Ren is still young and most likely fertile, so he can still impregnate a lady.

 

And what silly woman wouldn't want to get under Adam Driver?

My sister. Her disappointment with Kylo's looks was one of the things she mentioned immediately after seeing TFA.

 

Make her watch Paterson.
or maybe a uniform change helps

Ben Solo-Skywalker/Kylo Ren is the biggest character on the official poster, and the name of Adam Driver is just after the big three and before Daisy Ridley.

"now we come back to the story that we really care about, the focus of the story, and that's Ren and Rey" JJ Abrams in the commentary of TFA.

The two biggest characters of this trilogy are Rey and Kylo, so we already have a young Skywalker descendant in the center of the story, and for me it's clear now that this trilogy is the story of the redemption of Ben Solo-Skywalker with the help of Rey.

 

She had bursted into laughter and told me that she still didn't find him attractive. However, she considers Oscar Isaac to be very eye-pleasing.

 

Well Oscar is playing life with cheat codes.

 

But he's not at the center. He's not the protagonist. This is not Ben's/Ren's story. It's Ms. Perfect's.

 

Curt Hennig passed years ago.

 

Nope. Rey is the center of the poster and the in the style of the OT, the villain (Vader) is the biggest one on the Star Wars posters. Cast billing is about deal making and is negotiated. Ridley was a nobody actress with no clout (nor name recognition) despite being given the largest role in the movie.


(my research for TFA)



They've said Rey is the main character. Not Kylo Ren. They said wanted the story to be primarily about a woman (not a man again).

The main conflict of the film for the main character Rey is against Kylo Ren, they have the most battles against each other.

1) Force vision encounter
2) Takodana forest battle
3) Starkiller base interrogation & battle
4) Starkiller forest base battle

 

Well, everyone associated with it, says it's the story of a young girl's journey to become a Jedi. That tells me that, while Ben may be redeemed, it's certainly not what the trilogy is going to be about.

 

His spirit lives on!

 

Yes Rey is the main character, just like Luke in the OT, but the second most important character after Rey is Kylo, just like Vader in the OT, the focus of this trilogy is the relation between Rey and Kylo, just like the relation between Luke and Vader was the focus of the OT, and with Kylo we already have a Skywalker descendant at the center of the story.





The original trilogy was the story of the redemption of Vader with the help of Luke, this trilogy for me will be the the redemption of Kylo with the help of Rey, this time familial love failed with Kylo, so why a Rey daughter of Luke or daughter of Leia and Han (familial love again) will succeed and bring back Kylo to the light?
