SPECULATION OFFICIAL Rey Discussion Thread

The KOR thing occured when Rey was already in Jakku. Pablo Hidalgo stated that it has no connection with Rey.

 

Your theory is interesting. However the problem I see with this theory is why would Leia or Luke leave a 5 yo Rey with Unkar Plutt who obviously is a bad, bad man? As it is obviously Unkar she is being left with in the force flashback.

 

Do you see how long it took you to describe the complex events necessary for Rey to be han and Leia's kid?
now, try cramming all that necessary exposition into a 2 hour movie and not have the average movie watcher go "huh?"

Just sayin'....

 

Han left on a smuggling run, Leia found out she was pregnant and decided not tell the father and hid her away in fear of the child falling to the Dark Side like their first child?

Just sayin....

 

It is possible that young Rey was around when Ben killed the clan leader. Perhaps the clan leader was the old master of the Knights of Ren. I tend to think Luke is Rey's father, but perhaps the reason Han and Leia don't mention their daughter is because they think she's dead. Perhaps Ben was flirting with the dark side and the Knights of Ren and he ended up losing Rey some how. He parents blamed him for Rey's "death."

Lor San Tekka has to be on Jakku for a reason. He's too close to Rey for it to be an accident.

 

Hey sorry, this might be a stoopid question, who is Pablo Hidalgo?

 

One of the members of the Lucasfilm story team charged with making sure there is continuity in the Star Wars story and limit contradictions from all the different sources of canon.

 

Then he should probably not rely of his twitter page to clear up stuff like that. That's what the films are for.

 

I agree with you.

 

I just watched a 5th time. I think there's something going on in the scene where Han says, "you got a name?". Rey says, "Rey." Han looks at her and says, "Rey, huh."
The look on his face is like, "yeah, sure it is." or something. Like he knows, suspects, or feels more than he's letting on. Also, at the end when Rey hugs Leia, we hear the Han/Leia love theme...is Rey their daughter? What's going on?! I'm ready for Ep. 8.

 

Same with Maz asking Han: "who is the girl?" and then the conversation is cut short.

 

This is history repeating itself, if Pablo Hidalgo suggests something it's more than likely right. Just like those who were crapping on Jason and MSW. We might not like what is been said but its probably true sadly. Am not one of these posters who is in complete denial pushing blast. I just think we should not dispose of Pablo's details. If he say's Rey was not at the temple she will not have been.

 

Not ignoring what Pablo says, just wonder why she would flash to that particular event if she was not there? Each little scene in the flashback relates to either the Lightsaber or Rey, right? Why would that be included if she was not there as a child?

Sorry if my question was answered already, still reading though the thread.

 

Who knows, perhaps its foreshadowing, this is the future!? I do genuinley believe if Rey was not there then she was not. Plus like I said some of these images could be the future or perhaps the KOR who is killed is a relation? This 'dream' was shown to Rey for a reason and its deliberate why its so confusing. Lucas Film is not going to play its hand in the first of its trilogy.

 

And Pablo actually hasn't confirmed or denied that Rey was or wasn't connected to that scene in the rain, or if her abandonment is or isn't connected to Kylo's history. He has always phrased his responses as questions, like: "What does that have to do with Rey?" "Why would you think that?" That's a more coy way of saying "no comment", imo.

 

There was much more to the vision according to the MillenniumFalcon.com scene list - though even theirs is missing some numbers. It got cut out of the film and thus not canon and leaves more questions than answers. MakingStarWars.net also had their own spin on the scene list from a year ago. The film changed a lot during production and post-production.

 

JJ has said that Rian Johnson asked for a few changes to TFA during production. I think this "force back" scene is the big reason. In the trailer it looks like Kylo is holding the Skywalker saber. In the movie, you only see him waist up when he turns around. It also appears that the person Kylo kills is wearing a hat identical to Constable Zuvio, a character cut from the Jakku scenes of the film, but it's not Zuvio's face. Did he kill another Constable?

One thing I am sure about is that Rey sees "the future, the past, old friends (family?) long gone"

 

I was thinking about the reason why Rey speaks with a british accent in TFA. I think the reason is quite simple and straightforward: Rey needed to portrayed as displaced . Rey is marrooned and lives as a scavenger on a rough desert world. But what better way to emphasize her displacement than by letting her speak in posh british accent. It reveals that she is more sophisticated than meets the eye and that she is not 'natural' to the environment in which we find her in act I of the Force Awakens. As a result the audience is immediately inclined to ask "How did such a sophisticated girl end up on garbage planet?"

Great little little trick the writers inserted, but which is now unintentiously spawning rather strange theories about her lineage.
