    I think if nothing should be read into the teaser posters than coloring everyone in red was a peculiar choice ;P Maybe red just looked cooler than black?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted us to wonder where Luke's own saber is. Although I may be one of the few Luke fans who doesn't really care.

    Are you trying to get me to hunt for a parallel shot similar, I'm tired right now.

    No need! :) Think of the Luke/Vader "disarming" (haha!) sequence.

    But, more significantly, think of the shot of Kylo holding out the saber to Han and Han reaching for it.

    I can't really seem to explain why, but I really really really hope that Luke is not Rey's father, and that in general, Rey is not a Skywalker. As soon as I left the theater after TFA I thought this, and I could never explain why. Do other people have similar strong feelings about this, or am I alone?

    No - there are many fans adamantly opposed to Rey being a Skywalker (or a Solo, for that matter) and claim that those theories have been debunked.

    Though personally I've examined such claims and concluded that they're simply not true.

    But that's me....

    I think her being a Solo is out of the question, and honestly will be disappointed if that is the route that they take.

    As for her being a Skywalker, I would learn to be okay with it, I just think it would be a cop out on what could potentially be a great story.

    Who knows, maybe we won't even know until Episode 9 ;)

    Personally I think we know for all intents and purposes in TLJ.

    If TLJ ends without confirmation of who Rey's father is, and without Luke being ruled out...

    Well, who really believes the Ep 9 would reveal dad as a nobody?

    Has it already been mentioned that Luke has a complete change in wardrobe during TLJ? We see him in the more "formal" light colored robes and then in the BTS reel we also see him in a dark brown outfit that is much more plain with a bag over his shoulder.

    Both shots look to be from Ach-To so I guess that I am a bit surprised that he will change clothes while still on the Island.

    Maybe he sensed Rey was coming and put on his Sunday best for her :)

    Technically there is no evidence for or against her being either a Solo or Skywalker. So to be or not to be is the question...that may be answered in VIII, but probably not until 9.

    Depends on what one considers to be evidence, I guess. Surely viewers have *reasons,* "good" or "bad," to believe Rey is a Skywalker, Random, etc etc?

    @DarthFuller22 Welcome to the Cantina. No you're not alone. There is a whole thread debating whether or not Luke is Rey's father.

    I strongly suspect his clothing will reflect his emotional state throughout the film.

    You're not alone, although I personally think the story they've setup strongly points to Rey being Luke's daughter (like really, really strongly).

    At he moment, we have little evidence/ many red herrings, meaning that every theory has valid ideas. Confirmation bias is a problem at the moment. I see strongest evidence for Rey Random, then secondly Rey Kenobi. But for users like robotical712, the evidence points to Rey Skywalker.
