SPECULATION OFFICIAL Rey Discussion Thread

Han'd reaction to Ret and Finn:

 

I have been pretty checked-out the last few days.
Bowie's death did a number on me.

But -- i did read all the SWNN articles about Rey.
Man, it seems that everything that is said by anyone working on the movie is used as evidence to support whichever theory you want to believe. It's truly a mystery.

I will say this much --
I have my own beliefs. But even those are slowly evolving...

If rey is related to anyone in the saga, it is probably Luke.
But, in my humble opinion, i almost feel like you have to make her mom some antagonist.
For her to have been abandoned like that.
It also has to be something that adds conflict to rey's journey.
The person she believes would come back for her is... Now a knight of Ren or something...

So long as it's not Phasma. Too obvious, i think.

But, despite all the interpretations of what "important" and "deeply satisfying" is supposed to mean, i still feel that her being related to a Solo/Skywalker in any way was made incredibly complicated by the events of TFA.

All that Trevorrow has done is stirred the muddy waters.
Good grief....

 

You have me thinking,

What if "A student of Luke's" doesn't refer to Ben Solo, but instead refer's to Luke's wife!

There's a Rian Johnson worthy twist for you!

 

Uh - - NO WAY!! She ((Rey)) would be Leia's niece!! i don't even think that Ben Solo ((aka: Kylo Renn)) is Leia's kid.... i think he was ADOPTED, when he was born. i don't even think that his father ((Luke)) know's that he had a SON.

Rey is a SKYWALKER - - not a SOLO.
The only HINT of her ((Rey)) being Han's daughter, is that she could FLY the Mellinium Falcon ((Han's ship)) - - sorry! my spelling is bad.

 

Rey must have been a little girl when the guy was about to kill her. I think everything that she sees is a place she has already been, including where Luke and Darth Vader fought... Rey will change everything about the force.

 

This whole past movie was about getting the audience used to the idea of Leia being the new offspring progenitor.

 

So the actress that played young Rey is 8? Doesn't that torpedo the whole "Rey was dropped off on Jakku" before the Luke training disaster?

 

I was watching TPM one of these days, my brother in law decided to do a Star Wars Marathon, the point is i looked at Anakin early vestments, and don't match Rey's visual apperance in TFA,

now what matches her

Is the look of Anakin after the Jedi Council decided to let Obi-Wan to training him.




Rey's outfit in TFA isn't simply a desert outfit, is a Jedi younglin/padawan outfit.

The pic doesn't focus on Anakin too much but when you watch the movie Full Screen you get a total Rey vibe when you see Anakin in the celebration scene, i don't know how they gonna explain the timeline, but i'm 100% she was in Luke's academy.

 

Hello, I'm still new here, but since everyone seems be speculating on Rey's parentage, I'd like to share my own thought's on the matter.

Like about half the people who've voted on this thread, I think she's the daughter of Luke and Mystery Woman - but I'd like to offer a different perspective as to why.

The answer to me is it makes narrative sense.

Let's look at Rey's story arc.

She's been living alone on a junkyard planet she could leave whenever she wants. In case the audience doesn't notice, Finn says as much. Why doesn't she leave? Because she's waiting for her family.

She agrees to take BB8 to the Resistance because she looks at the little droid as a friend in need, but she's keen to get back to her waiting, because no matter how much it hurts, it's the only thing she knows how to do. She even turns down an invitation by Han Solo to join the crew of the Falcon in order to get back to her waiting.

Then she comes upon Anakin/Luke's lightsaber and is confronted by Maz Kanata.

Now, Maz Kanata is the kind of character who basically stands in for the writers. She's there to sort out the story for both the audience and the characters. Whatever she says, you can take straight to the bank.

And this is what she says ( correct me if I'm wrong ):

"Whoever you're waiting for on Jakku, they're never coming back. But there is someone else who still might."

And that's Luke.

From this we can infer, for one, that Luke was not the one who abandoned her on Jakku - he is a separate entity. And two, if taken in the greater context of who Rey is waiting for, she's telling her (and the audience) that Luke is the family she's so longing for. Not Leia, not Han, but Luke.

But Rey says no-thank-you to the hallucinotropic lightsaber and Luke because it's just too scary a proposition at that point.

It's only when she's faced with the prospect of losing her new, extended family - i.e. Finn - that she takes up the lightsaber she wanted nothing to do with - accepting, by that single act, her fate as the galaxy's "savior" and the eventual meeting with Luke she so dreaded.

So that's her arc.

She's waiting for things to get better on their own, and during the course of the movie she comes to accept that for things to get better she has to move forward - which always brings with it the risk that they'll actually get worse. After all, an imaginary family is, in some ways, a safer bet than an actual father who's this mythological figure but not the guy who was there when you needed him. And if you're Luke Skywalker's daughter, you're stuck with the fate of the galaxy on your shoulders - no small burden, and no wonder Rey would rather believe otherwise at first.

It's this story arc, taken together with these additional bits...

1. The lightsaber passed down from one generation to the next "calling" to her
2. Her strength in the force
3. The fact that she dreams of an island like the one where Luke is when she feels lonely and can't sleep.
4. The emotional look she exchanges with Luke when they finally meet

... that gives me an overwhelming sense that Luke is her father. No need to put it into words on screen.

The island thing, which I didn't even notice on my first viewing, is a particularly strong of evidence - just as strong as the lightsaber's calling. What does the behavior sound like? The movie takes great pains to emphasize how, emotionally, Rey is still somewhat of a child. What do children do when they can't sleep at night? They go to their parents' bedroom.

Some might argue that the movie makes such a strong case of Luke being her father, that it can't possibly be true - why spoil a potentially major plot twist for a future installment?

It's too obvious, goes the argument. I'll let my good friend Vizzini from The Princess Bride present my counter-argument.

You never really see the big plot twists coming ( who saw Vader being Luke's father coming ? ), and we know that her parentage is a plot twist - so why bother pretending otherwise? I can already see people being blind-sided by whatever major twist Episode VIII has, if for no other reason than they were so focused on the parentage issue.

I could be wrong, obviously, but those are my two cents.

 

Not convinced to be fair. Although the little lass does say 'war' clothes and not dessert gear which is interesting. She is young kid though maybe she does not know the importance of her clothing but she does come across as very mature and bright, so who knows.

 

The outfit she wears is much simpler than even Jedi garb. She's not dressed as a padawan in my opinion. More like a peasant. She has the same hair style as grown up Rey too.

Excellent points and post. I think you are right that we are looking so closely for a twist regarding Rey, that we are going to be stunned when they drop something else on us. We also need to be mindful that they are writing these movies with close collaboration so the topic of Rey's backstory will feel seemless and not forced. We may not get a twist. We may get the answer to one question but that answer brings two more questions! These conversations will not end at Episode 8.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 15, 2016 ---

I hope she understands that being a Skywalker and using that saber means she's probably losing a limb or two.

 

That'd be quite the twist, but Han actually says, "until one boy, an apprentice, turned against him." So it can't be Rey's mom that destroyed the academy.

 

That's a really good point. It is a big galaxy, but it has always been about the Skywalkers?

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 15, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 15, 2016 ---

Or the student that turned against Luke was Rey at 5 years. That's is why Han was looking at her with caution. "Is she normal now - after all these years?"

 

press "buy" now. Better than a life sized cardboard figure.

 

I'm starting to think that the big plot twist can be about Rey's mother. I guess she is Luke's daughter, but if she is Leia/Han's won't be a big deal. Other than this " is a horrible choice of storytelling."

It has not to be about the Skywalkers, but I'll quote one thing I read somewhere:

 

I'd put the chances of her being a complete random as slim to none.

What is interesting is that we are getting the backstory of all these characters through the children. Han and Leia's past is revealed thanks to Ben. Luke's past will be revealed thanks to Rey. (Not fact, but my belief). So we get the story moving forward, and the back story filled in because of how the children grew up.

 

It's still puzzling to me how this exchange in any way supports that Rey is Luke's daughter. If anything, it disproves it.

Who is Rey waiting for in Jakku? Her family, right? Not a specific relative or person who dropped her off. Family, as a general entity. To me that tells us Luke is not her family, or at least not her immediately family (parents/siblings)

You'd think she'd know that her own father is not a legend, right?

 

Let's remember that after the Force vision, Rey says that she doesn't want to make part of it (it might mean just be a Jedi or the be heir of the Skywalker legacy). She clearly have been traumatized by the way she was left in Jakku. Maybe the story of "I'm waiting for my family" is just a form o denial (or self defense) of the truth she already know. I think she knows more than is revealed in the movie.

 

Clever. In Star Wars we have learned the most obvious choice is not always the right one. Same here.

 

or she lied By the way, your avatar, I saw that image/scene in the trailers, but not in the movie. Do you know from what particular scene that is? or is it a deleted scene?
