    About Tekka...
    we canno't be 100 % sure, but given what we know from the Comics it looks like he's been on Yakku not for so much time.

    Plus: Kylo knows him.

    And it's reasonable to think he knows him because Luke knows him.
    So Tekka was not on Yakku looking at Rey.
    He was travelling the galaxy, meeting Luke from time to time, then he ended on Yakku.

    I must give credit to people who make this films they are masters of hiding their steps and keeping us confused.

    I just hope that their story is worth of this uber-hiding.

    Assuming Luke left her on Jakku. Who left that she is alone living as a junker. Meaning if she is there because Luke brought her he wouldn't keave her with Plutt.

    I'm not sure about Luke leaving Rey there, but I've thought something similar in terms of Luke's attitude to the Jedi order. I have wondered whether Luke sees the old model of the Jedi as not working (it is time for it to end), because it seemed to involve going around and finding force sensitive beings and training them all to become Jedi, opening up the chance for them to fall to the dark side and turn to Sith. Instead, perhaps he sees the need for the new Jedi model to be much smaller, possibly akin to the Sith rule of two, where it is the responsibility of one master to train the next in the line and be responsible for dealing with any dark side threats that do emerge - rather than engaging in many issues across the galaxy. I'm convinced the line from the trailer is misleading and this could be one possibility.

    It doesn't make much sense for Luke to leave Rey on Jakku. Plus, she thinks Luke is a myth, but she remembers being her family leaving her? Wouldn't she remember Luke? This idea seems like a long shot to me.

    Rey knows who left her...she never says she doesn't REMEMBER. This is an audience assumption because it is not revealed to US who her parents are or who left her on Jakku.
    But Rey never really alludes to not being from Jakku does she?
    Doesn't she just say her family will be back one day?
    All we see from the forceback is the ship taking off and Rey screaming "don't go!"
    Could it be her family was with her on Jakku but got taken off and the narrative was supposed to be misleading?
    I can't recall of the top of my head if she actually says she's from another part of the galaxy.

    I'm pretty sure Rey knows exactly who her parents are and the circumstances that resulted in her being left without her family on Jakku. She is pretty mum about her past, only alluding to certain things.
    I think part of 'the reveal' is Rey knew who she was all along and possibly even her name is not the one she was born with (in canon she is a fan of fighter pilot Dosmit Raeh and perhaps took her namesake to protect herself).

    I don't think Luke left her. I think the idea of the Force is evolving and Rey was the vessel to return Luke's lightsaber to him not directly related to him by blood. JMO.

    Unless he initially left her with Lor San Tekka to take care and protect her and he "Lor" failed.

    Rey's Survival Guide and Bloodline reveal that she was left on Jakku about 15 years and Ben fell about 6 years before TFA, respectively. I am doubtful that Luke left Rey on Jakku. I just have a hard time believing that a man who successfully brought his father back to the light through his compassion only to lose him in the end could leave his young, defenseless daughter on an unforgiving planet in the hands of Unkar Plutt of all creatures. Plutt doesn't seem to genuinely care about her well-being and thus she struggles to survive everyday of her life.

    Personally, I'm all for Rey not being a Skywalker (yet), but is it clear what "years" means in Rey's Survival Guide? In TFA she seemed to be keeping count by daily scratches which would suggest it was local time she was counting. Jakku years might not be the same as the "years" in Bloodline. Also, Clone troopers reached maturity quicker than normal people. I'm not saying that she's a clone, but accelerated ageing may be a possibility for whatever reason.

    She looks healthy to me! lol Yeah, after some thought I'm having a tough time believing it too.. Then again, in the Harry Potter films we all were fooled that Severus Snape was a terrible person.. Unkar Plutt could seem rough to Rey, but maybe he was told to make sure she is always under the radar and never to be realized until the right time. Maybe Unkar is protecting her the whole time.. But prob not? haha

    Unless they change the original intent of Plutt remember he got his arm ripped off trying to get the Falcon back from Rey.

    I could be wrong, but I think it's been established somewhere that Rey and LST have never crossed paths.

    Leaving Rey on a desolate outer rim planet where she would have to scavage in servitude just to eat was NOT an act of kindness.

    Not only does the timeline not jive, but Luke isn't a dick like that.

    This, or the trilogy will end with Luke, Rey and Ben being the new Mortis Trio. I like the idea of the Jedi going back to the core and dealing only with Dark Side threats. Not trying to fix the problems of the entire galaxy.

    I've seen a lot of assumptions that Luke is following the Jedi code at the beginning of his efforts to re-establish the Jedi Order but I'm not sure why anyone would assume that. Luke is already doing it differently by not having any affiliation with the New Republic or the Senate. He's off doing his own thing.

    Just a wild idea here that plays into the GL model of SW is poetry angle. What if Rey was hidden from her father (Luke) when she was born. Maybe the mother left Luke when she was pregnant for fear Rey would be trained like Ben Solo. Maybe she didn't want that for her daughter. Maybe Leia and Han knew that Luke's baby-momma was pregnant and they helped hide her. That could answer the infamous Leia/Rey hug and the glances Han gave Rey and why he was quick to make her a job offer. Poetry. He offered her father a job too when he found out he could handle himself.

    As for Luke and the Jedi code. I don't think Luke ever trained anyone like the prequel Jedi did. Yoda and Obi-Wan trained him different because they were also enlightened by the Qui-Gon "living force" ideals. I think Luke trusted himself and was doing fine until Ben Solo messed things up.

    I think if they go in the Mortis direction it will only be through resemblance and something the core fans can compare the end result to - for casual viewer trying to explain all that arc in the films would be risky.

    I do increasingly wonder whether Ben is actually how Luke intended him to be from his training, someone who can use the dark side but will ultimately do so to remove a bigger threat and save the galaxy.

    It would make a good story if Luke made a baby and the mother hid the child from him for whatever reasons, such as fear of the Dark Side, the Force etc...It would relieve Luke of having been irresponsible in leaving his child on Jakku with Unkar.

    Luke can make babies without having attachments, though I think it is silly to hold Luke to a PT Jedi order "Rule". Luke has always had attachments, Luke proved that you could have attachments and not fall to the dark side. In fact he saved Anakin by forming an attachment with Vader. SO the entire can't have attachment thing does not exclude Luke from being Rey's father.

    Luke may not even know it yet. Luke may help Rey discover what happen to her family only to find out that he is her Dady.
