Rey Solo

One of the things thats so magical about The legends of Luke Skywalker is hearing several different people's interpretations of the Legend, ironically we are doing the same thing with Rey's parentage... Is your point of view right or wrong we'll finally gets some real answers in 23 days, or more questions might arise.

 

That's the key! Being legends, they are loosely based on some facts.

 

CURSE THE NON-BELIEVER!!!

INFIDEL!!!

 

I re-listened to the audio book with respect to the Aya story and I am just not getting a romantic vibe from the Aya-Luke relationship. Although she is a woman when telling the story, she seems fairly young, maybe early teens, in the story. Maybe it does not seem like this in the written book but the voice actor in the audio book made Aya seem pretty young. I got the sense that Aya has great admiration of Luke and mentions that she wants to travel the galaxy and restore balance - just like Luke. Now, she very well could have ended up at Luke's Jedi Academy and something could have developed from there, but I am not getting a vibe from the story that there is anything beyond admiration for Seeker/Cloudwalker/Fishsaver.

 

Aya is 12 years old. Luke isn't Roy Moore.

 

I was reading the Star Wars Complete Locations book last night and noticed that the lamp Rey has was made by an artisan at Tuanul village. Since Rey only scavenged to procure food and water, wouldn't she have had to been at Tuanul at some point to get the lamp?

Also, Tekka was an old family friend of Luke and Leia who discovered the clue to Luke's whereabouts and who also knows precisely who Kylo Ren, so wouldn't he had known something about Rey?

Plus, in TFA's novelisation Han is about to say something to Leia before he left for Starkiller but she told him it could wait till he returned. Wonder what he wanted to tell her?

 

i'll take a shot at these:

she could have traded for it?
it is an outpost, so there's lots of junk coming and going.
not sure if her diary doesn't explain where it came from (that's one book i haven't read).
anybody know?

doesn't seem like a mystery. there's no connection there necessarily.
his connection to Jakku is to the Church of the Force.
there's no indication he ever even went to Niima Outpost. or knew Unkar Plutt. or cared about what was going on over there.
we do know, however, that he's been traveling around the galaxy looking for that map.

"i'm sorry"?

my sense is that she cuts him off because she already knows what he's going to say and she doesn't think he needs to say it.
also, on the long-shot chance that he'll bring Ben home, she's hoping he won't have to.

 

At this point, I’m just ready for it to be out and over with: McDiarmid has given up on Rey Solo, the redditors are eating each other alive - literally the Reylo’s have declared victory and are taking vengeance on 2 years of “mistreatment” from Reysky’s, and I’m thoroughly confused...

Still with Magnar and lean Solo but that’s because of clues in marketing, social media, interviews, and seeming plot holes/devices engaged in TFA that seem to point that way...

I think ReyLo is big obvious misdirection...but I just hate seeing what’s happened to the fan base over this mess.

Let’s hope it’s settled in this movie already!

 

I'm convinced that none of the big three theories will happen (rey Skywalker, reylo and rey solo) all three require massive amounts of explanation that just isn't necessary.

I see Rey having her own back story which has nothing to do with any of the OT characters and there will be some simple reason as to why she is so attuned to the force. Im not sure why that is yet but explaining how she is so strong will be far easier to explain than why Luke, Han or Leia left her with Unkar Plutt or how they never knew of her continued existence, is he was somehow taken from them.

My big hope is that Luke takes Rey on as more than just his apprentice and I think that is where the story is going. Rey is desperate to know where she belongs and Luke appears completely lost. Whatever happened in his past with Kylo, Snoke and the 'Academy' destroyed him. I think Rey will give him back his hope and purpose. Granted they are going to go through some sh*t first but I think in Luke she will find the father/parent figure she craves and Luke gets the chance to redeem his perceived failure with Ben.

If the above is true(ish) then ReyLo I suppose is possible, yet unlikely and if it does somehow happen I think it can only be one sided. I think you'd need more than 2 more films for those 2 to be able to convincingly form a relationship.

So in summary Rey and Luke find in each other what they both need/crave and unfortunately poor kylo gets friend zoned, sorry buddy lol.

Don't forget these are just my opinions and theories as to what I'd like to see happen. So don't get your panties in a bunch if you don't agree.

 

Just some thoughts I had today.

Firstly, I still don't think Rey is Luke's daughter as stated by Mark recently that Luke's backstory in this movie isn't important. I can imagine Rey asking him who her mother was and he responds with "It's not important." There's also his recent comment of "Luke longs to have that extended family that he established in the original trilogies, but now he’s at a place in his life and in his history where he’s shunned all of that.”

Also, in TFA Leia has lost her son to evil and her husband killed by his hand. That's two losses but she gains two: reunion (JJ's words) with supposed long-lost daughter and now knows the true whereabouts of Luke.

 

Rey Solo is dead. Long live ReyLo.

"Anything I say is going to be more weighted now. What I think is really amazing, cuz, again I didn't understand exactly the impact of SW. When TFA came out and everybody was like "oh my god who's your parents!?" I was like "Oh...?" Like, I was genuinely surprised that was the main question. Because for me, like, getting into something 'eyes wide shut, sort of thing', what I found so amazing in The Force Awakens is Rey meets Finn, and they've never met before. He's a defected Stormtrooper. She's a scavenger. And then we're like brother and sister, and it's this amazing connection. In that moment Rey finds a piece of family. And before that she's met BB-8 and she finds a piece of family, and she meets Han Solo and she finds a piece of family. When she's finally with the Resistance she's like "ah, this is sort of where I belong", and then off she has to go on another adventure, but essentially Rey is seeking belonging, and so obviously a lot of Star Wars is looking back and wondering where she came from, but I think the wonderful thing -- especially about this film is it's all about progress and the relationships people are making now. And obviously things are influenced by what you had before. But I just think it's beautiful that the relationships are formed with people that aren't even necessarily -- that wouldn't be classed as family, but family is who you choose, I think. You can choose to love people and bring them into your home and make a life with a group of people who have no blood relation to you."

 

If you can accept Luke's love for Anakin, then you can accept Rey's love for Ben, in whatever form it comes.

 

huh ~ love isn't so great after all, i guess.

talk about sad.
