Luke is NOT Rey's father confirmed?

We have no idea who she might be related to (if any) at this point, but my money is on Kenobi because Rey in TFA pushes every Obi-Wan Kenobi in ANH button, including the force powers she use and the lone mission she goes on at Starkiller Base, and more. While it is entierly possible this is just a style echo to give TFA a OT feel, my current thinking is that this side of Rey's character is a deliberate hint about who and what she is. All that said, I could be completely off, of course

 

i'm not a yay or nay in the Kenobi camp, but it's been pointed out (and i agree) that there's a certain kind of atoning symmetry here.
if Rey the Kenobi can rescue Ben the Skywalker from the Dark side and finally unite the two families in a meaningful way, that'd be something.
i don't know how to make it work, but i wouldn't mind if they did it.

 

What meaningful way? The Mary Sue and the Thirty-Year Old Manchild? As a romantic couple? Why? Besides, Rey was born over a decade after Obi-Wan's death. I doubt that he is her father.

 

hey now ~ i didn't say romance and i didn't say father.
i said meaningful in terms of bringing them together after Obi-Wan and Anakin had such a bad falling out.
but since you bring up romance, i can certainly think of a worse couple.

and the more i think about Rey and Ren, i wonder how interesting it might be to have the next generation be stupidly colossally powerful having two crazy-awesome FS parents. that'd be something new in the Star Wars universe.
yep, i'm still all for this going Revan and Bastila Shan. if it doesn't that's okay. but it could be very cool if it did.

KOTOR - Knights of the Old Republic

• [Will you confirm or deny that this KOTOR art inspired the characters of Rey and Kylo?] Can deny. The development of those characters is pretty well documented in the Art of book and this never entered into it." (February 29, 2016)
• "[Is Rey Disney's Revan?] I don't quite get the question. So I'm gonna say no." (April 17, 2016) "[I think what they were asking is Rey and Ren inspired by KOTOR characters Bastila Shan and Darth Revan?] Ah. They were not. I would be surprised if their creators knew of the game in question." (April 17, 2016)

 

That is true yet it can also be a tactic to mislead us. I have been on/off about Rey being Luke's daughter but recently I'm starting to think that she may indeed be so. There are a few things that made me see this and they can all be seen when Han and Rey arrive in Maz Kanata's castle. We can see how Han seems to get attached to Rey quickly and in my mind this is due to the fact that he knows who Rey is. My reason for thinking this is that apart from how Han and Chewie both act towards Rey, when Han is talking to Maz, there's a part of the conversation where Maz looks at Han and asks him who Rey is. The camera quickly takes us to Rey and Finn yet we have to assume that Maz and Han continued their conversation. After a few scenes, when Rey finds Luke's lightsaber and has her vision, apart from offering Rey Luke's lightsaber, Maz tells Rey that the person she is waiting for on Jakku will never return (which I assume is her mom) yet that the other person could come back to wich Rey says ''Luke''. Maz also tells Rey that the lightsaber belonged to Luke's father, then it was Luke's and now it was calling to Rey.

Why then should Maz hand something so valuble as Luke's lightsaber to a girl who is just a nobody that she doesn't even know? If we then go back and think about Han having told Maz about who Rey was, then everything Maz says to Rey has more meaning. Finally we have the stare that Luke gives Rey at the end of the movie. Shouldn't Luke be on guard knowing that a complete stranger had just arrived and found him? Shouldn't he be even more dumbfounded to see that strange girl hand him his old lightsaber? All of this has meaning if Luke saw Rey and knew who she was.

Sure, I'm not against Rey being somebody not related to anyone we know and it would be awesome if we were surprised to find out she was Snoke or Greedo's daughter but seeing as things have been shown to us, lots of things sure seem to point to Rey being related to Luke. That and the fact that if Disney just wanted to ditch the Skywalker storyline and give us a reboot, why involve all the OT heroes in the first place and why make finding Luke the center of the whole story? Just so that he could train some nameless nobody? Disney could just have made Rey find a holocron and avoid using the OT characters at all and seeing as how ridiculously ultra powerful Rey is that she teaches herself uses of the Force that others have had to learn the hard way, there was no need to make Luke vital to the story as a simple holocron could be enough.

 

The problem is that Maz stated that her family won't come back. Whomever you're waiting for they're not coming back and Rey told BB8 that she was waiting for her family. It can't be Luke. And the stare of Luke is for the lightsaber. He changed at the moment Rey is handling it to him.

 

maybe I am reading to much into this line but why would she put it this if there wasn't a familial relationship between Luke and Rey in some form.

"The Lightsaber was Luke's and his father before him, and now it calls to you"

Just saying, why would she say it that way?

 

I'm one of the people who wouldn't mind if Rey was a Kenobi a Palpatine or from a previously unknown family. Still, I have to agree there is an awful lot of allusions to Rey being some relation to Luke for it not to ultimately be the case. If it was meant as a ruse to distract our attention from something else, I am wondering out loud, what thing that could be? What could be so important that we dangle the Luke/Rey link as a distraction to another aspect?

Seems like the simple answer is, she is Luke's daughter or at least related. I don't think the film or franchise hinges upon it, but I'd honestly much more like to see her a Palpatine. Imagine Rey and Kylo battling each other and their perceived birthrights in the Force (with Kylo resisting the light and Rey resisting the dark). But again, if she's a Skywalker, doesn't ruin anything.

 

Its possible and plausible.

 

Did anyone notice Leia's force vision in Aftermath:Life Debt? She had a vision of two children--a boy and a girl.

 

I didn't notice a Force vision...I noticed she sensed Ben's life "Force," for lack of a better word...

What do you mean?

 

It would be more interesting if Rey was Luke's daughter and Palpatine's granddaughter. Luke may not have even known. Luke would have every reason to visit Naboo where he might hook up with a Palpatine.

 

Luke could play a father like relationship but her real dad & mom are still out there, she deserves a scene where she reunites with them with Luke watching from afar.

 

The Children of The Writer Guys


It doesn't seem Rey is the offspring of Luke, and we know Luke's child's name is Ben Skywalker (who'll prolly be introduced at some point in this sequel trilogy).

Kylo-Ren is Han's offspring, and there is suggestion that he may join forces (and/or romantically) with Rey.

Remember folks that in the end, Lucas's Star Wars series is fundamentally about the struggle of torn Jedi Anakin Skywalker with the dark side (the Sith), so this sequel trilogy should really provide a framework for the lingering impact of the Sith just as the prequel trilogy provided a framework for the Clone Wars and Anakin's grappling with the emergent Sith.

Personally, I find the storyboarding about the post-Luke generation very interesting, since it gives us an 'atmospheric mysticism' about the Sith.

 

Ben Skywalker isn't cannon. There is no Mara Jade either.

 

I don't know if this was discussed before, its not my theory but it sounds a bit plausible. What if Luke mind wiped Rey, Leia, Han, Ben, for their own protection and he had a hand in hiding Rey. Is this why Kylo ask: what girl? Maz ask who's the girl?

 

Who says she has a dad, what if she was conceived like Anakin. What if Star Wars is all just history repeating itself in a never ending circle.

 

I'm not going to change my mind about Rey being a Solo until I see the first 2 trailers, and Disney stated that TLJ continues the Skywalker Saga, so the percentages of her being a Skywalker have gone up considerably. I have allot of patience, can't wait to see how this unfolds.

 

I know this is months after posting, but I took it as her own birth.
