    Kylo is lying to Rey about her parents being nobodies just like Obi Wan lied to Luke about his father. Rey is a Kenobi or a Solo. Kylo deals in lies and manipulation. He cannot be trusted.

    Rey said it first, Kylo told her to say it - Three times.

    It's her greatest fear. He's exploiting it. Like the Emperor exploited Anakin's greatest fear.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

    Too much evidence for Rey nobody in TLJ. From scene with mirrors, to her saying it herself. She's "always known."

    Plus the dark cave showed her...herself when she asked to show her parents.

    Rey has only herself, and her future. And what she makes of it.

    She sees the same thing in the cave, she sees herself because as said Maz she already knows the truth.

    They were just so bad parents ( which is a harsh choice from Disney - Really they sold her to drink ?? Les Miserables looks like a fairytale to this ) that she rather forget about them. That was her way to get through.

    Kylo can't lie to Rey - Rey can't lie to Kylo.

    The fact that she is a nobody is of course stupid. Apparently the Force itself picked her to counter Kylo Ren.

    Technically, it showed her nothing.

    Kylo lied and distorted what happened with Luke in the vision with Rey. "From a certain point of view"

    That's one interpretation. But it means her parents are "nothing", she is alone.

    But it also showed her herself, and that she can make her future with her own two hands

    It's not stupid. Anakin was also a nobody

    The cave is a dark side test. Its preying on her greatest fear, that she's nobody. Luke's greatest fear is Vader. His cave taunted him with an image of vader. Rey's taunts her with an image of no identity.

    No. He was conceived by the Force. Basically, he was a Force Jesus.

    I'm completely on board with Rey being her own character and not relying on lineage to make us care for her. This is a bold move on RJ's part, but also a logical one.

    A nobody with a high midichlorian count, who needed a master and to be trained. Not a nobody who mastered the force within an hour with no explanation. And it's pretty bad that I now think that immaculate conception Anakin was a better explanation than what TLJ is serving up for Rey's power. Fine, have her be a nobody, but the sudden force powers with no explanation is what the problem is.

    Why is it "stupid" exactly? Her origins fits the themes of TLJ, that "anybody can be a hero"-echoed by Rose being a mere mechanic "who wouldn't ever see a hero like Finn" if he hadn't bumped into her, and the boy at the end with the broom.

    Okay, tell me how they explain "Kylo was lying, Rey totally believed it because she thought it was true, but actually she's Obi-Wans love child/Han or Leia's lost daughter that they never talk about/never considered Rey might be". Nobody could make that believable

    I truly thought that was the parenting revealing moment.
