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

Because the time hasn't come in the story to tell this ?

Why would we know about everyone's parents in these movies. There are two lines in the whole movie about Rey's parents. Fans did the buzz.

Who are Yoda's parents ? Obi Wan's ? Han Solo's father ? Ahsoka Tano ? Finn ? Maz Kanata ? Nobody cares.

They might protect something important because Rey's parents are not going to revolutionize cinema especially if this already had been told like Daisy said.

The plot twist is not about parentage, people are searching where there is nothing to find. Disney can keep the wolf from the door

 

Last I checked none of those characters you mentioned are the main hero in a saga about the Skywalkers.
They are supporting characters

 

As I've been led to believe, they're doing a sibling reveal not a parentage reveal. Kylo Ren would the other focus (besides Rey) of such a reveal.

Josh Gad never brought up "Solo" at Celebration when asking family/relation questions at Celebration.

 

So why are you searching ????

 

According to the leaks for The Last Jedi...

Spoiler

Luke doesn't reunite with Leia. So that likely means Rey doesn't see Leia again either. I know this is your preferred choice, but are they really going to make Rey related to two dead parents just so they can have some lame Kylo/Rey sibling rivalry?

 

Perhaps it is a compelling and intense sibling rivalry. It is possible no reason to prejudge a story option before it plays out. I think how they execute is more important than what they attempt. I think that they have not really given much for the Rey Solo theory to go on but there is no evidence for a Skywalker either. It is all wishful thinking and confirmation bias (for and against).

 

Coming into this trilogy Solo siblings were the most predictable scenario. It's also one I could live with... the problem here is that if that's the big reveal then the book Bloodline is a comically bad book about Leia's family. There's no reason to publish that book and then retcon in Rey Solo. Well, other than piss poor planning.

 

Sibling rivalry sounds interesting...

 

I haven't read bloodline but I have followed the discussions close enough that its looking less likely.

 

Bloodline was good, anything is possible in the Star Wars universe... we'll have to wait and see.

 

Bloodline has so many lines that talk about how joyful being a mother was.
Whenever Leia so much as thinks of Ben Solo, Leia immediately feels like smiling.
There's so much in there dealing with the insecurities of being a mother, of seeing the dark side in her son, of sending him off to Luke. It's such an important plot point that it's discussed in the Aftermath Trilogy as well. Leia's thoughts on Ben are a refrain throughout the novelizations.




You're telling me that THIS Leia Organa had another kid and totally forgot to mention it? In her mind? Or that she dumped her kid in the middle of bumbutt nowhere, Jakku? that she gave her daughter to slavery? Leia Organa who could feel her husband's death through the force but couldn't feel her daughter's entireties to come back?



You'll forgive me because I genuinely have a hard time believing that.

 

If Leia had a child who was kidnapped or thought to be killed, it's easy to see why she would try not to think of her. Personally, I think one of the reasons they had Bloodline written was to drive people off the scent.

It could also be that she did hide Rey, and was waiting for evidence Ben was okay so she could pick her up. Hence another reason why she's so eager to hear what's happening with him.

 

Speaking of changes and retcons, there's like three different versions out there of where and how information to the location of Luke Skywalker came into the possession of Lor San Tekka.

1) TFA opening crawl said: "Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke's whereabouts...."
2) Non-canon LEGO DLC Lor San Tekka's Return said: "LOR SAN TEKKA'S RETURN: After visiting an Ottegan enclave, Lor San Tekka has obtained clues to the location of Luke Skywalker from the Sacred Order Of Ramulus. All that remains now is to get the information to the RESISTANCE before the First Order can intervene, and so a meeting has been arranged on the desert planet of Jakku...."
3) The recent Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia said: "When Luke Skywalker goes into hiding, he gives Lor San Tekka a map fragment showing his destination."

Additionally, in the Marvel Poe Dameron comics set before TFA, Leia thinks Lor San Tekka has been dead for quite some time and only recently discovered that he was still alive.

 

I think the movie trumps any other source. Lego Star Wars has some really interesting dialogue that both adds to TFA's plot and completely underwrites it. It's really strange

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you here. Leia would never abandon her child on a wasteland like Jakku under the care of Unkar Plutt. She would never give her child into slavery

 

In our world, the first born child is has the best genes (usually). So I doubt Rey is a younger sister to Ben and more powerful than him. What's wrong with her being a normal child, randomly left on Jakku for whatever reason. It's only when she visits Maz that she starts going all Force.

 

What? The first child has big of a chance of getting "good" genes as the second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. child. The distribution of alleles across sperm and egg cells is highly random. Sure, with age of parents increasing the probability of a child to be born with a genetic disease also increases but except for that there's no difference.

 

This is not true.

 

Duh, that's why I said usually. This is not wrong. It's just opinionated evidence for her not being a Solo.

why argue when you contradict with agreement lol

 

Nothing to do with Rey, it's not how genetics work.

 

I'm just thinking about the Force, really, and how children inherit it. To me it seems the Force genes/midi-chlorians are more dominant in the males. Going by Luke being first born and more stronger in the Force than Leia.

who are we to know how the Force replicates. Truth is, it's too dangerous to have kids if you are too powerful with the Force.

I would think Luke knows this risk now and never had any offspring of his own.
