Rey Dameron?!

Rey Asty .

Rey Biggs .

Rey Binks .

Rey Kenobi .

Rey Yoda .

 

RY-1138 (escaped TIE pilot, but with amnesia)

 

More plausible than Rey Palpatine, I'll give you that

 

After having watched the movie three times, I feel that Rey is probably Luke's daughter. However, when I start to think about Episode VIII, I am no longer certain.

The next movie will most likely take place one or two years after TFA. Finn needs to recover from his injuries (what!?! no bacta tank!?!), and Kylo Ren and Rey need to complete their training.

I also think that the reveal of Rey parentage will be made in the movies, but I can't see Luke not telling Rey that he is her father until the events of the movies. Obi-Wan did not tell Luke that Darth Vader was his father, and I do not think that Luke will hide such important information from Rey for one or two years while he trains her.

 

Rey a Dameron if she was Poe could have resisted Kylo's force mind tricks, nah let her be the jedi/smuggler of the millennium falcon & him being the greatest pilot of his squadron.

 

She might be Rey Dameron by the end of the trilogy, but there's no way she starts out a Dameron.

 

Didn't Maz tell Rey to forget her family, as if she was hinting about knowing something that Rey does not ?

 

Not sure she said to forget her family just that who left her on Jakku was not coming back, and that someone is waiting for her. That person being Luke.

 

I think she also mentioned that Rey wouldn't ever be able to find them, either .

 

No, she just said that they weren't coming back, "but there's someone who would." She also says that the "belonging you seek is not behind you, it's ahead."

 

I took Maz's words as 'forget the past, you will not find what you want on Jakku, you need to look forward to find what you want, and that is Luke'

Whether that means Luke is her father and won't go disturb her, he will only wait for her to find him, or not, I don't know.

I like the idea of her being a Dameron, but as said above, she was never mentioned by Poe before.. I think she's Luke's, and he will only help her if she comes and asks for it.

 

Here's an attempt to map out some possibilities:

Maz says something like "They are not coming for you, but there is someone who could." Given that the 'someone who could' is Luke, this seems to imply that Luke isn't the one who left Rey on Jakku. And since Rey thinks of those who left her on Jakku as her family, there are two options (a) Rey is wrong that the ones she remembers leaving her on Jakku are members of her family, or (b) she's right. If Luke is her father, then if option (a) is correct, there's the question of who it was who left her there, if not her family. If option (b) is right, this leaves the intriguing possibility that Leia and/or Han were among those who left her there. But then, either Han and/or Leia are dissembling about not knowing who she is, or there are other family members we don't know about: Rey's mother perhaps?

If Luke isn't Rey's father, then there's the hypothesis of the OP: she's a Dameron. Who left her on Jakku, then? Poe's parents? If so, was he with them? He's older than her, so it would seem he'd remember her if he was with her when she was 5 or so. But they're not shown meeting at all, despite the fact that they're clearly on D'Qar together after the destruction of Starkiller base. And Poe makes no effort to find her, not even when he's on Jakku himself. So maybe he's not aware of her existence.

 

Doesn't she also say to BB8 'top secret? Me too'

 

I felt she was being sarcastic in saying, " Me too..."

 

If Rey is Poe's sister then Popeye the Sailor is a Stormtrooper....

 

So, I had the same idea.

I sent a tweet to the exec creative story guy at Disney for SW re their ages. Poe is 30, and Rey is 19.

From the new canon (comics) Poe's moms dies when he's about 8 or 9. That gives his dad, Mr Dameron time to find a new partner after a suitable amount of time spent grieving.

I think they are step brother and step sister.

It also fits nicely into the story.

If Luke is the dad, he win's the prize for the Universe's worst dad.

HE LEFT HIS LITTLE GIRL ON A DESERT PLANET WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAP MERCHANTS!!!!!!!

Not in a rebel stronghold or some super-secret base.

Seems dumb. If those guys were in the know about who her parents were (if it really was Luke) they would have ample opportunity to sell that data on. (Seems pretty unethical on top of leaving your kid in a desert surrounded by desperate scrappers to then brainwash the scrappers to forget it was you... Luke Skywalker.)

This is how I think the story goes:

1. Rey is born to Mr Dameron and his new partner (it might be Leia)
2. Poe, whose mother is a pilot is really into flying because he feels it makes him closer to his mom.
3. At about 8 or 9, Rey watches her brother leave to go and start training in X-Wings. As a parting gift Poe gives her a rebel pilot doll, which she cherishes.
4. Daddy Dameron is sent on a mission for the republic. It SHOULD have been safe, but it ended up with him having to outrun forces of the New Order.
After briefly evading them, he manages to land on the closest inhabited planet, hoping to leave his daughter safely out of harms way until he can complete his mission and return for her.
5. Daddy Dameron's ship is vaped, and everyone, including Leia and Poe assume that she was killed with daddy dameron.
6. When Rey returns to the non-shitty part of the galaxy, she is both too involved in everything going on around her and has experienced too much pain to clearly remember who her mother was, or who her brother IS.
7. The fact that we haven't seen Poe and Rey interact one on one, for me is a big old Bat Signal that almost SCREAMS that they are related much more closely than people currently think.
8. As to Leia, I think that she suspects that Rey is her daughter. She just isn't sure.
9. I'm pretty sure that Ben Solo is 100% aware that she is somehow related to him, he just isn't sure how. It's even possible that his turning to the dark side is the result of Han leaving to go do smuggler stuff, and Leia doting on her "new" family.

All of this would make more sense than current fan theories about how Luke is the worst dad ever, or that Obi-Wan time travelled.

 

apparently Han and Leia have only been estranged for about 6 years. Leia having an affair with Dameron and giving birth to a kid while still married to and living with Han seems about as reprehensible as Luke leaving Rey on Jakku.

we also know Ben turned much later than previously reasoned and it doesn't make sense that he'd finally "snap" ten years after this kid is supposedly dead already.

that Dameron is her father is unlikely, but at least possible.
that through Dameron there's a connection to Leia as co-parent? seems highly improbable.
