SPECULATION Rey Kenobi...how does it work?

hear hear! Skywalker or nothing!

 

Ok Obi Wan could be her grandfather but what about her parents? I feel like if she ended up being a Kenobi, Disney would have hinted at it a little more. It would be a waste of time trying to explain how Obi Wan had a kid and how his kid had Rey, it would just be confusing. If she is a Kenobi, it would have been better to reveal obi wan's history.

But instead, they reveal Luke! The mysterious Jedi that Rey has heard all these stories about. Everything in VII points to Rey being connected to Luke.

 

Sabine and Ezra. Hence he is a bridge-r.

 

Well that would still make her connected to Luke, I'm sure Luke became aware of Obi Wan being a grandpappy at some point in talking to the man's force ghost. But the question of her lineage is behind her and Luke (as he's the only one alive) is in front of her...as Maz said.

 

I was mostly serious. Star Wars has a history of on the nose names.

 

I think Rey is so strong because both her parents are force users. This is something that has not happened yet as far as I know from cannon. She is a Kenobi/Skywalker. Ben Kenobi's granddaughter and Luke made Rey. Um, or not.

 

Let's say Satine and Obi Wan secretly had a child, a child that Obi presumably didn't even know about.

What then? This child couldn't have been raised by Kenobi, since he was a jedi (and, not long after, a wanted man). Satine may also have had to hide the child, as to protect Kenobi's secret as well as perhaps her own dignity (not sure how progressive Mandalorian gender politics are). So, much like Leia, Kenobi and Satine's child would have likely been raised by an adoptive parent/parents. Whether or not this child eventually learned their legacy is a mystery, but it could account for why there aren't a ton of reports of a Kenobi child or a Mandalorian Anastasia running around the galaxy.

Of course, the rest is history- the Kenobi/Satine child had his/her own child, who is presumably Rey.

Not saying any of this is true, of course, but it's something to consider for those who find the theory somehow implausible.

 

Also, we're having to fit this into the Clone Wars show timeline. Would it not have to be a gestation period of almost a year (unless GFFA humans/mandalorians are biologically different) with a birth/infancy and hiding the child from the galaxy sometime between Kenobi vs. Death Watch arc and the Maul-Satine-Palpatine arc? That's a lot of timeline stretching we'd have to accept. Unless I'm missing something......

 

We first see her in "The Mandalore Plot" which the canon timeline I'm looking at is in 21BBY. Her death, as listed on her Wookiepedia page, is 19 BBY.

Again, not saying this is true, but the roughly two years we have gives us plenty of flex room. Anakin and Padme conceived off camera (thank the Force), and their twins were raised without either parent. I don't think it's too crazy to think that Satine's case is any different.

Of course, this isn't considering the fact that we can presume Satine would "show" in her pregnancy at some point. Whether or not this fits in with the timeline is something I haven't looked at yet- though, at the very least, I guess she could have hidden it (and as a head of state, she probably had to).

 

This should kill any Satine connections.

 

I am not sure Lucas intended Luke's "The Force is strong in my family" to be proof that Force Sensitivity was a hereditary trait. Kasdan did an interview recalling a conversation with Lucas where Lucas said that anyone can use the force but only Jedi cultivate the skill. Kasdan disliked the idea at the time. Like many complex philosophies I think the truth is both. Sometimes it is hereditary and sometimes its not but I think we simplify it when we tie to heritage only.

Meh maybe but Asia isn't in GFFA. I'm not sure what traits are regionally equivalent to Asian in GFFA but if its as valid as Earth it doesn't seem that hard to do.

 

I actually hope it's true and they show us how this all came to be, I think it would add so much more to the Kenobi legacy.

 

Actually this rules out Sabine as being the Kenobi link not necessarily Satine. However, I think that if there is going to be a storyline with Kenobi having a child it will take place during the time period between ROTS and ANH

 

I just want to know who would leave their child in the hands of Unkar Plutt? That parent has allot of explaining to do. Shame on you Sabine.

 

I guess they trusted him. I hope they are alive enough to give a explanation.

 

This Kenobi / Rey story that needs to be explained through the cartoons is very unlikeable.

Kathleen Kennedy says:

Ergo, Saw Guerrera is in Rogue One because it serves the story, but you don't need to watch The Clone Wars to really know about him.
I highly doubt they will go as far as "let's tell the audience that once ObiWan had a girlfriend. It's in the cartoons so everything ties in!". They can do that with Luke, because we haven't heard about him for a long time and whoever could be the mother, can be explained through him., being alive.

Plus this is the Skywalker saga, or the story of the Skywalker family or however you want to call it. Every filmmaker in charge has put the name Skywalker to define the saga films.
Plus ObiWan is a supportive character, not main lead.
Plus hearing him talking to a Skywalker in The Force Awakens means nothing (he's responsible for the training of his two predecesors).

 

Agreed. They aren't going to explain an Obi-Wan child through cartoons. It's just to complicated and most casual Star wars fans don't even know who Satine is.

If they go with the Obi-Wan child angle, it's going to have to happen between episodes 3 and 4 and that story line will have to be built up with a stand alone movie.

 

can't believe it. Collider are still pushing Rey Kenobi via Sabine and Satine.

Someone needs to send them that 2014 IGN interview with filoni

 

Someone did that and Kristian's response was that it was from 2014 and Filoni could have changed his mind on that matter. Didn't Pablo recently say that Sabine and Satine weren't related?

 

I like the folks at collider. But they tend to put on the fan boy glasses and run with these theories a little to far. Remember Harloff was adamant about the snoke/plagueus theory before TFA.

And just to be clear I think the Obi-Wan Rey connection is looking more and more plausible by the day. I just don't think the Obi-Wan/Satine/Sabine theory is likely. They aren't going to introduce such a huge plot point through a cartoon series.
