Luke and Leia (and Rey) are Kenobis

    So I'm exploring possible twists for the ST that might make us crap our pants, like the Vader "I-am-your-father" moment did.

    It just seems to me that Rey being Luke's kid is not a huge twist, or at least not that surprising.

    So I've come up with two possible shocking twists: (1) Rey is "Revan"--a Dark Sider (and Luke offspring) that even as a young child scared the crap out of Luke--enough so that Luke found a way to wipe her mind, strand her on Jakku, and convince her that she should never leave.

    The other possible twist is: (2) Luke and Leia were actually Kenobi's kids, making Rey a Kenobi granddaughter.

    I was watching ROTS tonight and Padme mentions that Obi-Won "came by this morning" and then she seems uncomfortable about it during their discussion.

    If JJ wants the audience to go nuts, he might have set up a huge twist like Rey being a mind-wiped Dark Sider or Luke & Leia being Kenobi offspring.

    BTW--this theory does not prevent new Skywalker offspring--Vader could have had kids after turning to the Dark Side.

    2. Just no.

    1. Well, it would be cool. But I would rather see Luke going dark or at least grey.

    @JediJurist I like it. Anakins emotion laden anger would have been much more believable had it been the result of Obi Wan and Padme having an affair than the various little things we saw in the prequels.

    It would ruin the whole saga. "The force is strong in my family", Vader and Luke feeling each others precence etc.

    In my humble opinion Kenobi is the most boring main character BTW, thanks to the PT.

    Wow, that's nearly as bad an idea as letting George direct IX.

    The shooting script for ROTS features a lot of implications that Anakin was (wrongly) suspicious that Obi-Wan and Padme were having an affair. I wish they'd kept that in.

    But, yeah, no, Luke and Leia are not Kenobis.

    Kenobi! You couldn't keep you fly closed now could you! I guess Obi Wan twisted some veins when Padmé was giving birth to Luke and Leia to hide the evidence.

    You can't undo "I am your father." No filmmaker in their right mind would change the fact that Luke is Vader's son. But keep up the creativity and let's see what else we can come up with.

    I know George said Star Wars is soap opera but it's not that much of soap opera. :D

    "I am your father" is one of the most quoted lines and one of greatest twists in the movie history. No one is touching that. Ever.

    He's not boring at least not as in dully written. His name is literally Obedient One. He was upset his master defied the council with Anakin. His only major act of defiance of the council was his commitment to training Anakin. He told Yoda he would do it without the council's approval. He was let off the hook by the council though Yoda (the wise one) was against it. He keeps the code, and obeys the council, even when he is upset with how they used Anakin in ROTS to spy on Palpatine.

    Er... no. I'd rather have an Anthology movie for Kenobi.

    Me, too. I wish there was a scene with Padme and Obi-Wan drinking coffee and complaining about Anakin. Rambling on and on...

    Actually, there was:

    [​IMG]

    I think having Anakin show more suspicion about Padme's relationship with Obi-Wan would not only have given him more than an ideology-based reason to "hate" his master, but also have amped up the drama during the final confrontation between Anakin, Padme and Obi-Wan on Mustafar. At the end of the day, these were friends who were being played against each other by Palpatine. But Lucas cut out virtually all of the scenes that established any friendship between Padme and Obi-Wan.

    Anyway, back on topic: No Luke Kenobi, please.

    Packs is uncomfortable because Obi-Wan came by that morning to talk to her about Anakin Skywalker since he was worried about him. A akin Skywalker is intimidated by Obi-Wan so he is jealous and he's scared of Padme leaving him and dying which is why he doesn't like the idea of Keno I being there. Plus Obi-Wan wouldn't want to be someone's mistress let alone someone who is that much younger than him and scare Analin Skywalker into doing something horrible which he does anyways.

    Hope not. That would ruin TESB and all it stands for.

    It's more than likely that Keno I Could have had kids but definitely NOT with Padme .

    No offense but that theory just sounds silly.
    And why does this trilogy need a twist? Because ESB had one doesnt mean it will happen again.
