    This could work in a couple of ways... Luke is one a planet that's tied to the force so perhaps he couldn't be found. Also, the same could be said of Rey on Jakku. However, that doesn't mean she was left on the planet because of that. It's just possible no one noticed her there.

    They found Leia if they were able to use it to find Ben in utero.

    And conceivably Luke wasn't hiding before the loss of the new Jedi.

    Interesting idea.

    Jakku has a core probably made of Kyber and is a local desturbance in the Force. , It is very likely Rey was left there to be hidden from Snoke or Snoke's technology that enables him tracking Force sensitive persons(which are also local desturbances of the Force). Snoke pinpointed and influenced Ben, Lea undestood this later and I believe whoever left Rey on Jakku used information from Lea about Snoke's ability of remote sensing and influencing of Force sensitive childs over distance (in fact troughout the galaxy).

    One more thought on the topic of Rey's parentage - I am almost positive it is a red herring, just like Finn holding the legacy lightsaber in the TFA's marketing.

    People were talking about Snoke screwing with Ben even before he was born.

    I remembered that prior to TFA they spoke about a "weapon" that could locate force users. It sounded more like Cerebro from the X-men. I was simply suggesting that Snoke's ability to find a manipulate Ben might be something like the proposed weapon.

    That assumes that Leia's dreams and feelings aren't fearful projection that he might be like Vader, or even the force giving flashes of insight.

    Daisy herself has stated that where Rey ends up is more important than where she came from. I think we fans are making a much bigger deal about it than it actually will be.

    Fans are making a big deal about who her PARENTS are. Her power does not need to be dependent on who her parents are. Her relationship to the Force and why it has awakened in her can be a different story and be completely unrelated to her parentage.

    And I was saying that this weapon doesn't work anymore or is just able to find force users that are not hiding.

    The weapon didn't find Rey on Jakku, didn't find Leia on DQuarr nor Luke on Acht To.

    Doesn't sound to work well actually.

    Yes that is why we have scene of her parents left here and the fact that she awaits her family in tears.. they are important to most important character in the film, but not important to the story.

    May be, but something tells me they are important.

    Ridley was only talking about Episode VII. The episode with almost zero Rey backstory.

    She quite deliberately uses the fact that these all separate movies to confuse people and keep secrets. She does this often by invoking the Episode VII/TFA and Episode VIII separately in sentences.

    Daisy Ridley: “Now I have to put Episode VIII in a different compartment [than The Force Awakens] so I don’t slip up [when answering questions].” (October 31, 2016)

    Maybe there's just ... something else.

    I know someone who explains this very well :D

    Here's the thing, I think the proof is that Disney/LFL is ALLOWING Mark Hamill to joke about Rey being Luke's daughter.....I think that is a clear giveaway that she isn't a Skywalker.

    We in fact have practical confirmation Rey has been left on Jakku because of its protective properties so Snoke could not sense her.It is special type of planet, very rare in the galaxy.

    Jakku is a special type of planet with unusual Planet Core that holds enormus Force energy, as it is probabaly Kyber.

    In the film there is another Planet , a planet with similar properties like Jakku by which we can extract many conclusions:

    Starkiller base.

    Starkiller base was planet with unusal concentration of Kyber in its core, that is why its used for construction of a superweapon.

    Kylo interrogates Rey on Stariller base.

    But Snoke senses her-NOT. In fact he tells to Kylo, after his report , to bring her to him. She was protected from Snoke's sensing on Starkiller base to.

    It's a huge part of the story. If you only change names and family positions on a story, it is the same story. There is no secret to hide, no need for paranoia especially when it was the core of the now Legend Expanded Universe.

    Hey, we're gonna erase the EU to write it again with different names.

    Major crook from Disney.
