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

If Rey of Jakku is not a Skywalker by blood (or reincarnation) there's still Ben who can continue the family with an "unknown woman".

And I've read on the internet "Ben is not a Skywalker, he's a Solo"...

OK so Leia is not a Skywalker and not the daughter of Anakin because her name is "Organa" ?

 

For istance: Historians talk about the Tudor era.
The last days on earth of Elizabeth I still go under the caption of of Tudor era.

That to say, that if Rey is unrelated and the St ends not only with Leia and Luke dead, but with Ben/Kylo too
this will still be the 3rd and last chapter of the Skywlaker Saga.

 

ya, exept he doesn't. He fills it from a technical, family tree stand point but not a "mmm, this makes sense as a storytelling/marketing position".

 

Seems to work for the story group.

 

Ben is the grandson of Anakin Skywalker, for the people of the Lucasfilm Story Group Ben fills the Skwyalker saga requirement, if Luke/Leia are not in Episodes 10,11,12 but only Ben/Rey not Skywalker by blood and/or their children it will still be the Skywalker saga.

The family name doesn't count for the Skywalker saga requirement, it's the "Skywalker blood" in you that count for it.

 

according to who? Hidalgo isn't part of the story group, is talking about 1 movie not the series continuing forward, and is paid to toe the company line and give just enough info. THe plan could be for rey to be Luke's daughter her to continue the story foward and he'd never hint at it, if he even knows.

The tweets of Matt Martin and Pablo Hidalgo I posted on this page:

"Matt Martin is a member of the Lucasfilm Story Group at Lucasfilm Ltd., where he works as a creative executive"

"Pablo Hidalgo was assigned a job within the newly formed Lucasfilm Story Group, whose main purpose is to create and maintain one cohesive canon, thereby eliminating the previous hierarchical canon. Hidalgo also serves at Lucasfilm as a creative executive in story development."

Sorry, looks like you will never have "Rey Skywalker biological daughter of Luke and true Skywalker because she's the daughter of Luke and has the right family name".

 

If Rey is a Skywalker, and they have episodes 9, 10 , 11. How will Rey pass on the Skywalker name. By all accounts, the Star wars universe has the same surname convention as here. for example Ben Solo, Leia Organa (at the start of the OT), Luke Skywalker (after his father, not Luke Amidala) Boba Fett and Jango Fett etc etc. The only time this doesn't happen is with Shmi and Anakin and that is only due the special circumstances of his birth.

so in order for Reys children to be Skywalkers, Rey has to -
1: have a force birth similar to Anakin.
2: father must decide to give up his family name to allow Skywalker surname to continue (weird, forced and convoluted)
3: father leaves after getting Rey pregnant on bad terms (suggests abuse or worse, doubt disney would go this route)

 

Forget the blood. If Luke & Leia (99.9% certain on Leia) die, then that's it! THE SKYWALKER NAME ENDS if Rey is not Luke's.

And 4 those who say "well Rey will use Luke's name"......That defeats the point of her as a random.

Star Wars with no Skywalkers is Dr. Who without TARDIS.

 

Or the Skywalker Saga ends with ep. IX.
And then we won't have any ep. X, but a movie n° 10 opening a brand new Saga (Star Wars II, ep. I or Iv perhaps, you know: traditions...).

I don't have any preference on this matter.
It's just how things may go.
One way or another.

 

This saga will lose more fans then gain without Skywalkers.

@Niamor i dont see the word Skywalker attached 2 that name. Do u?

 

Names have nothing to do with blood. Kylo is not going to be killed, so a Skywalker will still be around once Luke and Leia are gone.

 

people managing the fans isn't prof of what they are doing and why. All their comments easily fall under the mis-direction or "what I knew at the time" banner. Need something a little more solid thent hat.

In other words - "I'm going to ignore that actual argument being made because I figured out how families work. I'm so smrt"

1) He may be killed

2) A Solo would still be standing.

 

Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is Leia's Organa's son, and she is Luke Skywalker's sister. They have Anakin's blood in them, and Anakin is Ben Solo/Kylo's grandfather. Ben Solo/Kylo is a Skywalker.

 

so I'm not the son of my mother because I have the family name of my father ?

The argument "Rey need to have the Skywalker family name just from a marketing point" is weak.

 

Then why isn't his last name Skywalker?

 

Because Leia never took her brother's name. She was an Organa because of her adopted family, and then married Han. That however does not change her blood.

 

You don't have the last name of your maternal grandfather because your family name is determined by your father (at least in most societies, and apparently in Star Wars). Therefore Ben is a Solo, not a Skywalker.

Ben is related to Anakin, Luke and Leia, all are Skywalker's, but he is a Solo. You do not center a film series that is the Skywalker Saga around a character who doesn't have the name - the same way you wouldn't call a movie Batman and have Robin be the main character.

No one said it did. But it means Ben is a Solo not a Skywalker.

I don't know if you've noticed, but EVERYONE can trace their family back to hundreds of different families (depending on far back you go) but you are considered part of (ie - share a the name of) your fathers family.

 

Ben is the grandson of the Chosen One. How much bigger does he need to be?
