    This is a peculiar piece of dialogue to be revealed, especially when you consider with what statements Daisy follows it up. This flm is going to define Rey as a person and show that one should not be defined by his/her roots but by his/her actions instead.

    Rey will find a kyber crystal, build her own new lightsabre, make it work first time. All without Luke's help, because Rey is annoying.
    Why does she even need Luke? What could he possibly teach her that she doesn't already know?!

    I thought that they made it clear that the Skywalker Lightsaber, for all intents and purposes, would be her own, at least for a good leg of the Sequel Trilogy. There's no need for her to make a new one when Luke still has his (and he's probably strong enough to not need it at this point). The only reason she'd have to make a new one is if she wanted Finn to take the Skywalker Lightsaber from her.

    That would be a cool scene, her underwater facing this creature before coming up for air, Luke sitting on bank meditating before opening his eyes as she surfaces.

    What if Rey was a padawan in the Jedi academy of Luke but someone (Snoke?) "blocked" her memories with the Force and left her on Jakku ? And in TFA when Kylo is reading her mind some of her "Jedi training memories" are unlocked?

    According to Abrams Kylo and Rey never met before TFA, but what about Rey and Ben Solo at the Jedi academy?

    A strange thing in TFA:


    With headphones and maximum volume there's clearly a feminine scream inserted at 1:54, just after "I see the island" (the island of Ahch-To where Luke is).

    What could it be? A scream from Rey's past linked to the island of Ahch-To ?

    (sorry if my english is not good)

    They've said that they've never met at that point, period. But I do think that she has some memories about her powers suppressed. And yeah, I do agree with you in that Rey's attire is a bit suspicious.

    A while ago there was a leak/Rumour about Rey, and who she was. While its not my favourite concept it does hold up well under scrutiny, so I'm going to explore this below.

    Warning, even though i've put this in a Spoiler tag I feel I should say that if this is accurate it is a particularly spoilery spoiler, I should say that this theory would ruin the 'Who is Rey' Question people enjoy asking. It is purely my speculation based on 2 supposed leaks and a careful re-watching of TFA. However, I think as an idea it holds water well, and I'd hate to ruin the story in XIII for people who don't want it ruined.


    It was said a while back that Rey would get a force vision from a magic tree (ala the Dagobar cave) that would show two children discovering the force for the first time. one was a boy and one was a girl. The boy realised that when he was near the tree (sucked power from it perhaps?) his powers grew, one day he murdered the girl in anger or something. This was the start of the darkside. and the girl, who was resurrected, or perhaps turned into a force ghost by the tree began the jedi order, and she said she would return one day to bring balance.

    So I'm guessing where Luke is on Ach-to is where the girl built her temple, and we've seen a tree set piece in the Ireland photo leaks. I've also read (I think on MSW but don't remember) that Rey is the chosen one, or is at least a prospective chosen one. and here's where this gets good- Luke knew this, from exploring the Jedi artifices he discovered the prophecy of the chosen one and realised after the death of his jedi academy that there was only one way to bring balance to the force: The Chosen one. and it wasn't him, so he decided to wait and learn what he could.
    Rey was also on track to join his academy as far as I remember reading. but for some reason she didn't make it, and was instead dropped on Jakku (perhaps the ship was perused or something).
    This would mean that Luke and probably Kylo/Han/Leia would have known about this prospective chosen one. and that is why Kylo asks 'What girl' to that imperial officer and says things like 'You, a scavenger' to her in a knowing way. it also explains why Han is able to answer when Maz asks 'Who's the girl' and also why Leia comes to hug Rey at the end of TFA, because in some respects she does know who this girl is and why she is so important.

    'Untrained but stronger than she knows' also makes a bunch more sense if you assume Kylo suspects Rey is the missing chosen one.

    So it would basically mean that Anakin, vader ,the chosen one. was simply not the correct chosen one. and the fact Anakin was rumoured to be created by a dark side user makes sense. Created by Sideous/plaguis to deceive the jedi and then used to destroy them. but Luke converted his father back to the light. and it would mean that the 'Skywalkers' were simply the side effect of a sith attempt to create an artificial chosen one for themselves.

    The bit I like best about this is that it puts Kylo Ren, A fanboy of Vader, who no doubt wishes and sees himself as the chosen one in direct oposition to Rey who is the actual chosen one. the 'Real' Anakin as it would be.

    Also if Rey is the first jedi lady re-incarnated then it makes sense why she would dream of an island, the first Jedi temple, becuase it would be somewhere she had actually already been.

    I have tested this theory in my head for plot holes and problems. as much as I test it I find it makes a lot more sense than her being Lukes/Obi Wans or the emperors offspring. I don't like Chosen one story lines. But this one checks out and ties all the SW saga together. as Kylo Ren is the remnants of the first prospect chosen ones lineage, Anakin. Luke self exiled to await Rey, and Rey would be the actual chosen one that Qui Gon was looking for in Phantom Menace.

    I assume that Luke (like us in the audience post PT) assumed when Vader killed the emperor he had completed the prophecy and brought balance to the force. and it was only when Kylo Ren (decived by snoke) killed the new Jedi that Luke realised balance wasn't created by vader, merely a brief peace.

    So thats when Luke set out to find the Prophecy and re-read it. OR perhaps Luke had no Knowledge of the chosen one idea and never assumed his father was the chosen one. Regardless, I think that is why luke is hiding out at the first temple. and I also think Han, Luke, Leia and Kylo Ren already know Rey is supposed to be the chosen one. That is also why Maz tries to make Rey take the saber and find Luke- Han explains that all to her when she asks 'Whos the girl' and that is why Maz prompts Rey....it all checks out.

    And it will make the Kylo Ren/ Rey face offs really interesting as Kylo will know it is Reys destiny to bring balance, but he himself thinks he should be the inheritor of that legacy and bring peace as vader once tried to do.

    It also makes TFA makes more sense as a title. as its when the chosen ones powers awake.

    You know that I have found the light with the Anakin/Rey - Kylo / Vader theory and I'm was just thinking about the Castle's scene.

    For the first time of her life, Rey felt troubled with the Force by touching the saber, she felt fear, horror, loneliness, the meeting with the Dark side of the Force with her vision, she felt afraid and she ran away from the castle, adding terror with the first order landing, she gets angry, she shoots at people and then for the first time of her life, she met Vader ( Kylo Ren ).

    Their first meeting.



    That would be brilliant writing.

    Ah was it? Oh man. that kinda makes sense otherwise I'm sure people would have made the same connections I just made. Still it holds together pretty well as a plot. I'm not a big fan of 'chosen one' stuff so I'm not too upset that it was a fake.

    I remember now. The source is here, and it's where the absurd "No, you are my father." meme came from.

    The issue of that particular "spoiler" is that it's essentially a rehash of the Mortis arc from TCW. And bear in mind that while they're all in favor of linking stories of various mediums together, this kind of approach would come across as Lucasfilm being creatively-bankrupt.

    With all that in mind, I do like the little synopsis you came up with. :)

    I know who's Rey. She's a Skywalker, her father is Kenobi and she has no mother.

    Rey is the idea of redemption in Anakin's head. Kylo Ren is Vader's idea in Anakin's head.

    Lor San Tekka is Obi Wan Kenobi in Vader's psyche. If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine.

    When Vader killed Kenobi, he reached the bottom of evil ( Jakku means evil, the source of the dark side ) and Kenobi remembered him that 19 years ago ( The age of Rey ), he once was Anakin. Rey is the idea of Anakin in Vader's mind during the OT. How the redemption's process worked, his force schyzophrenia.

    That means that the finale scene is the idea of Anakin is begging for his son to teach him back to be a jedi.

    Luke is hope. A new hope. And until Vader reached the bottom on Jakku. Hope had vanish.

    Her father is Kenobi because it's his death that creates the spark, she's a Skywalker because she's ... a part of Anakin Skywalker and she has no mother because she's not real.

    Edit : The finale scene is the Dagobah event from the vision of Rey. Luke is in the cave, in pure darkness, he's emotional. He saw Vader in these darkness, he's terrified.

    From someone who's coming back for such a long, long way like Rey, this cave in Dabobah is pure bliss, pure light, an island on the ocean.

    Luke, teach me back how to be a jedi again, please ...
