    Ben was a nod to the EU. I am hoping Mara is a nod also.
    Btw, Rey is not her name! I wonder if it is Kira? Here is to hoping. ...

    It's how I see it, if he was her dad he would have some explaining to do for leaving her on Jakku.

    What if Luke's wife/Rey's mother is the daughter of Palpatine and Talzin? That would make Rey quarter-Palpatine and quarter-Nightsister.

    ALL the comments in this thread are very interesting.I will explain my own theory.I think that Rey is a Skywalker BUT she is NOT Leia daughter and she is NOT Luke daughter either.Did you remember when Kylo read Rey mind trying to see the map.Kylo said...."You like Han Solo.You look at him as the father you NEVER HAD".THAT IS DEEP AND IMPORTANT.Looks to me that Rey grown up WITHOUT a father.Something make me believe that Rey had a story very similar like Anakin Skywalker.She has a mother BUT i think she don't have a father like Anakin.Remember in TPM when Qui-Gon Jinn ask Anakin mother(Shmi Skywalker)who was Anakin father???Did you remember her answer???For me i think Rey is the same story.Rey don't have a father.Who is Rey mother???I think is from Shmi Skywalker family tree...:).

    A link of Anakin Skywalker mother below:

    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shmi_Skywalker_Lars


    Shmi Skywalker Lars was the human mother of the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, as well step-mother to Owen Lars and the paternal grandmother of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Through her granddaughter Leia, Shmi would become the maternal great-grandmother of Leia's son, Ben, who would become Kylo Ren.

    We can not forget the past of Luke,Leia and Anakin(Darth Vader).Is ALL in the family tree...:).

    I'm confused as to why people are saying it's impossible? Felicity Jones has quite a young face, imo. If her character is around 20 when Luke is 14 (we know that canonically, the rebels were all for sending 19-year-olds on suicidal missions... like blowing up the death star), that's pretty close to the Padme-Anakin age difference.

    I'm not saying it's likely, but it's POSSIBLE, surely, if Jones' character survives the movie? I think it's an interesting theory, anyway.

    People have most likely already discussed this but I think the idea that Luke may not have known he had a daughter is quite interesting. I don't fully agree with the idea but it is cool to discuss.

    He may have had a lover, it may have just been a one night stand, but he doesn't need to have known that his lover was pregnant or the child was his, especially if the attack on his academy happened soon after? Maybe that is why he looked so shocked when he saw Rey, as he realised through the force that this was the daughter he never knew he had? It also kinda solves the problem of why Rey was left on Jakku, maybe his lover was afraid people would come after the new Skywalker daughter, or maybe she was kidnapped which seems more likely. It makes a bit more sense than Luke leaving her in a cruel and harsh environment.

    I am still not 100% convinced that Rey is Luke's kid. The idea of Felicity Jones' Rogue One character being her mother is a really great idea. I'd love to see that happen. Not sure about the imaculate force conception simmilar to anakin, it is a cool idea i am just not sure if they will go with something from the prequels for their new protagonist.

    Who said Luke age is 14 in Rogue one? the movie timeline might be literally months before A New Hope

    I hate the idea of imaculate conception, is such a Judaic-Christian notion and i always envisioned Star Wars as a Zen-Budhist asian kind of mysticism

    I'm very much a member of the "Rey is really Kira" camp.
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 28, 2015, Original Post Date: Dec 28, 2015 ---
    Ben Solo's alias is "Kylo"
    Kira Skywalker's alias is "Rey"
    Alias was created by Star Wars The Force Awakens co-writer JJ Abrams.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Felicity's character could be Rey's mother without Luke's help.

    Yeah, I'm not sure where that number comes from, either. The most specific timeline I'd seen was "between III and IV, but closer to IV." Very vague. If someone could cite a more concrete number, I would be interested to see it!

    So is no one going to talk about Rey's age (19)? Kylo is like 30 so if he turned to the dark side in his teens (16); and Luke disappeared after that, could it be possible that no one knew Luke had a child and left her on Jakku around age 5? Just a thought.

    Here's three poetic themes that could point to Rey being Luke's daughter.

    1. During the fight wIth Kylo Ren, she is knocked out during the first stages of the fight. The same can be said for that of Anakin when Dooku takes him out with Force Lightning. Similarly with the Emperor striking Luke after he threw his lightsaber.

    2. BB-8 latching onto Rey, just as R2-D2 does with Luke and Anakin. Luke in A New Hope and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith when he goes to kill the Separatist leaders.

    3. Rey resisting the Jedi path at first. Luke did as well and was focused on helping his Uncle on the farm. As well as Anakin didn't want to leave his mother behind but, did.

    I think @x-wings has the right idea in a way. This could also explain why Luke and her mother left her possibly with Unkar Platt. I saw someone pointed out it is his hand that she is holding onto in her vision when she's being left there. Her mother possibly clouded the truth from her or it's reality. It could also work as a reason Luke is unsure if he wants to train her. He may have asked his friend, Lor San Tekka to keep an eye out for her but, he feels great shame in hiding the truth from his daughter because of his own experience with Obi-Wan and Yoda keeping the truth from him. This could become a major conflict if Kylo Ren or someone revealed the "truth" to her. As in the novel Kylo says to himself during the interrogation "It is you!". He knows something and he could use this against Luke if he really wanted to but, something is stopping him. He's immune to the light and there's still good in him. He keeps what he knows from Snoke but, somehow Snoke gets it out of him ...

    This could really set into motion the main drive and last act of Episode VIII and in order to bring Rey to him, Snoke uses Tash Leech and his gang to go after Finn. Which sets into motion Kylo being there too.

    I'm predicting that Kylo Ren killed Rey's mother.
