Rey Solo

A bit like Artoo crash landing on Tatooine and finding himself under the care of Luke Skywalker...

There's this thing in Star Wars called the Force...

 

Leia's going to get grandchildren, even if they have to be half-sibling cousins with lekku! hahahahaha

 

Don't worry, there's still another option that is belioved by pulpy sci-fi writers (and Frank Herbert) - cloning. That Luke's hand has to be somewhere, amirite?

 

All good points. Maybe instead of thinking "what could have happened to Rey when she was 5 and left on jakku?", we should be more thinking of what could have happened at her birth. This may explain Leia not recognizing Rey in TFA. No idea really how it could work.

If she is a Solo then they would have to answer the reason why none of them mention her or recognize her. I dont think they need to worry about the "sensing" part of it at least for the general audience. For some of us, yes, that would be a plot hole, but not the general audience.

Soooo... what could have happened at birth that could explain all of this?

 

Something must have happened tho, final straw to break the camels back???

 

I'm sorry but its as good as fact

 

This is why I wanted to read the original passage.

As much as I wanted this to happen, the closer we get I'm starting to realise it probably ain't gonna stay a fantasy.

I'll be overjoyed if it does, but I think I'll actually enjoy the film a lot more if I just sit back and take in what's been presented. One big reset on all these theories running in my head NO REYSOLO, NO SNOKEISPLAGUEIS, NADA!!!

I remember before the TFA film I wanted so badly for Kylo Ren to be Revan or Luke gone bad, but looking back now, that would have been silly.

And if they do somehow do Rey solo, it'll have to be the best story ever, as right now it's looking quite impossible!!

1 MONTH AWAY!!!!!!

 

Have you ever thought those questions would be answered in TLJ?

 

Infact now I think about it, it's probably something really simple like....

Her parents were imperial who abandoned her and she found the light

Kylo rens parents were republic heroes who neglected him and he turned dark

Dark to light, Light to dark

REY: light, darkness, balance

SNOKE: DARKNESS RISES...AND LIGHT TO MEET IT......... FUFILL YOUR DESTINY

 

I was watching that embrace scene and noticed how at one point Rey is on the verge of tears:


Also, noticed how Leia is holding onto Rey's wrist just as she's about to leave:

 

Leia has a very strong bond with her son when he was in the womb so one must assume it would be the same with Rey. Not only that but Rey is the age her daughter would be, is an orphan, has what would be remarked upon as a similar appearance and has incredible Force power. Then we have the problem where Leia senses those close to her that die.

The only tiny bit of wiggle room here is that Leia was tricked into thinking she has a miscarriage or a still birth (whilst she was unconconscious) and her baby was taken away and then left on Jakku at age 5 for some reason. An option that is a hard sell and not exactly child friendly.

And on top of this detail, there still remains the issue that this story is forced simply for an unecessary reveal that diminished TFA and Bloodline. Never mentioning this tragedy, when it would've been so pivotal and also relegating the importance of "Rey" to the Solo's would be a terrible move. This isn't like Luke knowing who his father really is with that reveal benefitting both films. This simply takes the potential for great scenes away from TFA.

Haha rey solo undone by an emoji lol

 

The difference is, (as my brother stated to me yesterday) in the original trilogy, we took the story at face value.
No-one was expecting any reveals, twists or MYSTERY BOXES. that's why when they happened it was so good.

No everyone is sitting there second guessing everything we've been told, even when it something really simple because they've been conditioned to expect surprises.

F&!#k me...... why, why would they do that.

 

Except the difference with the original trilogy was that the "twists" were written as the story unfolded. In ANH, Luke's father was actually dead. And so they didn't go out of their way to hide that fact. And when it came to TESB, the natural progression of the story dictated that Vader should be Luke's father and Kenobi just lied to him in ANH. They were lucky in some ways that this was the only thing they had to explain - as the explanation made perfect sense. Unfortunately, when the natural progression meant that Leia should be Luke's sister, this made the kissing scene in TESB stick out like a sore thumb. Not a plot hole, but clearly a problematic scenario. In making TFA, they of course had the knowledge that there would be a trilogy of films and they have had the luxury of planning out the story. Therefore there shouldn't really be any plot holes or indeed incest involved. At the same time, the reveal cannot just be for the benefit of TLJ to the detriment of TFA. It should be a natural progression for Rey's character that makes sense.

ANH was far more of a blank canvass than TFA. We were told very little in ANH. But in TFA we meet a lot of characters and get an understanding what did and didn't happen in their history. What's more, where it makes sense in-universe for certain twists and reveals to be kept underwraps, in TFA there isn't that luxury. There is a brilliant reason for Kenobi to lie to Luke - had he known the truth it would've blown his mind, terrified him and perhaps prevented him from becoming a Jedi. We also know that Vader didn't know he had kids (so wouldn't speak about them) and no one else was involved who would know anything more than what Kenobi knew. In TFA, Han and Leia should speak of Rey, but don't. Kylo doesn't recognise her. And if people do know she is a Solo, then there is no good reason not to tell her.

Because #KyloRen4ReySince2015

 

I agree, BUT....... MYSTERY BOX!! MYSTERY BOX!!! MYSTERY BOX!!!

 

But the mystery box in TFA is left open a crack - and we can see enough inside the box to realise that she cannot be a Solo.
In all seriousness, mystery boxes when done properly work well. The problem is that if Rey is a Solo then the mystery box didn't work well. Bad mystery box!
The reason for that is that, when the box is opened, the story will be diminished as a result and clearly used to just trick the audience in a cheap way. Not only that but the reveal is contradictory.

Now, as I have said - this could still be the case. Rey Solo could happen. But if it does, it will be to the huge detriment of TFA and Bloodline. It won't make sense and I for one won't be taking this new trilogy very seriously at all - not because "they didn't go with my theory that I think works better, but because it will show a truly monumental **** up in story telling.

 

ironically, the emoji really isn't a reveal for people who have been paying attention. ; D

 

let's just see how it all rolls out. i don't think this confirms "Reylo", but it certainly infers that Ren and Rey are not related.
