    We do know that Rey's parentage will be somehow addressed in the next movie. The issue may not become resolved but we will be given some more information about who Rey's parents may be. If the leak is true (which I highly doubt), it should include some information about the matter.

    This "leak" is almost entirely based on scenes from the teaser trailer and old rumors. There's barely anything new there.
    Cutting and pasting existing information into a "leak" is one of the watermarks of fake leaks. The other is publishing them on Reddit :)

    And it feels "reasonable" because it's made from things we either already know to be true (teaser images) or heard before (older rumors). So, it feels familiar, it doesn't feel absurd ("time for a family reunion!") and it relies on the fans willingness to believe in it (we want leaks).

    But if you take a closer look, you will see that it doesn't really add anything new - it just stitches existing information together in a way that may or may not be accurate. It's a "safe bet" kind of fake leak, and that's why it gets traction.

    putting to one side that i think it's a big fat fake (but damn, that act 1 was quite believable.. compared to act 2).

    one thing that did make my nose twitch..was the mention of Gannis Ducain

    i had an outlandish theory many moons ago that Rey had arrived on Jakku via the falcon.. or that her pregnant mother had, and that she had been an unwilling passenger in the falcon's theft in some way.

    that name was mentioned flippantly by Rey to han when explaining how the falcon had ended up on Jakku.. it would certainly be an interesting twist if the falcons theft was a lot more important than we first thought.

    trying to prove my ridiculous theory based upon a BS leak isn't gonna sway many people though lol.

    I'm still betting on a relationship with her parents and the dark saber. There is a connection with Sabine (hopefully I said it right) and Obi-Wan I think. Not only that but think of the fights. If another Kenobi beats a Skywalker then wouldn't that alone stand for a couple rematches or even classify as a main bout between two od friends who want nothing more than to kill for the truth. Oh this is so fun to speculate...

    I don't think it's legit, BUT I think the 'birds' will play a larger role than anyone in this thread expects or wants.

    I'll say this; the first act of this leak, fake or not; is entertaining so I can see a shred of truth of that being true. But the second act; I do not see it. Rian Johnson does love slow burns, like Looper(biggest gripe is it does have a bit of slow start), but really he isn't the kind of guy who lingers. The thing with film is that it is a prime example of economy of storytelling. Given how limited the genre is, one must maximize their time. It isn't like a book to where it has structure, but can play it a more loosely. How loose depends on the POV, but I digress.

    The entire second act seems way too slow and redundant. Rian Johnson is not the guy who is redundant with his narrative. Unless, this was intentional, but really we still got nothing about the origins of the first Jedi temple? Really, though, if I was to speculate, I could see these leaks being a prior draft before it was rewritten. Because, I know that the movie was meant to come out this summer, but was pushed back to Christmas for better release date and for revisions.

    For some insane reason, I keep checking to see if Act III has been posted...even though I know it's probably fake, but still.

    Exactly. It's really easy to take a teaser, construct a story around the elements in it while taking into account the general direction the series as a whole seems to be taking, and end up with something halfway believable sounding. It's a fun read, I guess, but I think people are giving this thing way too much credit.

    And here's the second part's text just in case he deletes it all:

    Act II

    As it begins to rain on Ahch-to, Rey prepares to face her test. Luke has instructed her to journey to the far side of the island. Luke gives her parting wisdom while talking to the birds in between. Before she departs, she smiles at Chewbacca playing with the birds.

    Finn is being put through physical tests. He remarks that he feels stronger and faster than he did before his fight with Ren. Holdo and Poe have a discussion on his chances of being recognized. Poe still isn't a hundred percent on board with sending Finn on this mission. He wants to go. Holdo argues with him about his importance to the overall Resistance. Poe insists Finn not go on the mission alone and Holdo suggests he take Rose, who has clearly taken a liking to Finn. Holdo tells Poe they've got more pressing matters, she has a fleet of cruisers but the Resistance is currently low on one man fighters.

    Kylo Ren marches down a hallway. All we see are his boots and cape. A cell door opens and he finds himself face to face with his mother. His helmet is on. He starts off by addressing her as "General". Leia is saddened by this. She calls him Ben and he tells her not to. He begs her to tell him where Luke is. She won't. He tries to extract it from her mind as tears roll down her face. He can't do it. He leaves the cell and tells Hux this one will take time. Kylo returns to a room brilliantly white with a chrome wall and removes his helmet. A human like droid administers treatment before he is submerged in bacta.

    Rey comes to a clearing where the rocky cliffs make a horse shoe around her. The rain has lightened up. She sits and waits for something to happen. This is where Luke told her to go. One of the birds lands by her. It seems oddly friendly. Rey is amused and reaches out to touch it but the bird flies off. The ocean below her begins to stir. Rey stands up hurriedly. Lightning strikes the sea and a beast rises out of the waves. Rey frantically looks for a weapon but can find nothing. The beast roars and tries to strike her but misses. Rey is evading the beast but something has caught its attention. A nest of three baby birds have started crying and the beast has moved his attention towards them. Rey initially starts to run away but turns back and attempts to save the baby birds. As she carries them in her arms she braces for the beast to bite but the beast is suspended. Rey has stopped it with an outstretched hand. Though somewhat surprised at first, Rey pushes the beast off the cliff onto the rocky serfs below. She returns to Luke with the baby birds in hand. Luke tells her her training will begin in the morning.

    Kylo Ren marches down a hallway. This time we see him from behind. The cell again opens. Leia is less saddened this time and more resolved. She wants to talk about Han. Kylo has none of it. He again tries to extract the map from Leia but can not. He enters Snoke's chambers and asks for guidance. Snoke places a hand on Kylo Ren's shoulder and tells him Leia can resist his power because she's not seeing her son. Her son would break her. Kylo Ren will not.

    Poe bids Finn and Rose fairwell and tells Finn that BB8 insisted he come along. They board a small shuttle and travel to Canto Bight. Upon arrival they are greeted warmly as their aliases have passed. An official welcomes them to Canto Bight and tells them they've been expected. Finn, Rose, and BB8 are taken to a dining hall where a man stands up and welcomes them, saying his name is Gannis Ducain.

    Luke consults the ghost of Yoda in secrecy. Yoda assures him he'll be right there along the way to help him train this girl. Luke speaks to Rey about the force and tells her every time she's used it so far it's been for violence, but the force is most at its balance when there is peace. He teaches her to control her force impulses, to use the force in a more gentle way.

    Gannis dismisses his guards and immediately tells Finn he's the mole and the coordinates to Snoke's location, and tells the trio he's reported them as Resistance spies and to run now. Finn has the idea to steal an animal from one of the circus attractions and they ride it down to the sea, where they steal a boat to get back to their shuttle while being pursued by CBPD (Canto Bight Police Department)(yes that's a joke. Security chases them)

    Kylo Ren enters the chamber again. Leia lashes out at him verbally. She demeans him, calls him a coward, and tells him her son died a long time ago. Kylo tries but fails to extract the map from his mother yet again. She once again calls him a coward for having to hide behind a mask to speak with her. He leaves the room. He removes his mask and destroys it. Hux is present and tells Kylo he can hand over interrogation to someone else. Kylo re-enters the chamber. Leia is in awe but heartbroken to see her son again. Kylo coldly extracts the map from her.

    Hux is waiting for Ren. Ren tells Hux to assemble his Knights.

    If these leaks are real the story is pretty basic Starwars.

    I actually had a similar theory. That Sabine was an Kenobi Kid and that she get with Luke. We have a Skynobi
