Rey Solo

.

 

People are still pushing this after TLJ effectively and completely ended it?

Rey ain't a solo. Leia never mentioned her mysterious vanished daughter in TFA, and neither did she in TLJ.

That's the biggest plot hole.

Get. Over. It.

 

Oh boy...

I'm not sure there's much more we can say here.

 

The denial is strong in this one. I think the fact that Reylo happened, or was even hinted at, fried their brains.

They are grasping for straws now that their head canon has been denied and imploded.

 

Rian Johnson, in EW about what Kylo said about Rey's parents in TLJ.


Unfortunately, the Debate is not Over.

 

No, Johnson is playing it coy because he is saying that JJ can write whatever he wants. But the point is JJ won’t write her as a Solo because it makes absolutely no sense.

 

Maybe for anything else but Rey Solo. And btw, the numerous plot holes and logical inconsistencies in the way of it, say hi.

 

What we have to remember is that Rian was writing the script for TLJ while TFA was being filmed. Rian was there on set. He asked JJ for R2 to accompany Rey and Chewie to see Luke, not BB-8.

JJ has stated in interviews that "Rey doesn't discover who her parents are in VII, NOT that they may not already be in her world" and the scene where Leia and Rey meet is "both a meeting AND a reunion." That first statement clearly seems to hint that Rey's parents were right in front of her but she's unaware of it. As for the second, for the first time ever where two characters meet each other for the first time in a movie or TV episode, there are no introductions, no exchanging of words but rather the two of them throwing their arms around each other in a loving embrace and refuse to let go.

Those two statements of JJ's, I highly doubt Rian would hear those statements when they were made and basically say "Screw 'em. I'm going to do what I want to do."

 

It’s simply JJ trying to avoid the subject. Her parents weren’t in VII. He just didn’t mean to reveal that.

People seem to think it was a trick that the mystery of her parents was built up. What they have to realise is that a storyteller wants you to go on the adventure with the hero. Discover things as they do. If we all knew who Rey’s parents were in TFA this wouldn’t have happened - we’d be waiting for Rey to find out. This way we discover the harsh truth with her and it is a “shock” (to most). We then get to feel what Rey feels. We get a sense of her pain, her fear and her shock. That’s how good stories are told. That’s why it was a mystery. That’s why she has no name.

 

They mainly want hereto be a Solo so a) Romance between here and Kylo dead, despite it being at least acknowledged in TLJ, and b) as his sister, she can somehow kick and kill her dark side "brother" and prove to be the skyWalker descendant the world deserves, rather than Kylo.

It'll make sense because reasons.

 

Spoiler

Rey saw that Kylo Ren was going to turn on Snoke, but mistook that as him turning to the light. She saw the events from a certain point of view.

Kylo saw that reys parents were junkers who sold her for drinking money. Rian said that that is what Kylo genuinely saw, but like Rey, he may not have seen the whole truth.

I am 100% certain that Reys parents are nobodies who had to sell her for drinking money. This makes them sound awful, but if or when we get the whole truth, the answer might be more grey. Her parents may have been in debt to someone and were being chased by bounty hunters, in desperation they sold there child to Unkarr Plutt, hoping that that would help pay off their debt and keep Rey safe until they could safely collect her again.

The point is that the Rey parentage debate is over (Solo/Skywalker/Kenobi), how bad her parents were and what exactly made them abandon Rey will be the next debate.

Rey Random has won! All hail Rey Random!

 

Is Rey a...+=no!

+?=no!
+?=No!
Or ,,,,,+?=NO!

But ?+?=YES!

 

Actually, Yoda + ? = Rey is a possibility

 

Or +?=REY!

Genius.

 

And if Kylo was really lying to her, just to turn her to his side, why the hell did he tell her that her parents were nobodies. By revealing that she's his sister, that Han Solo and Leia Organa had her and then gave her away, he'd have a much better chance of getting her to join him. She would naturally be more inclined to turn against the resistance in that case.

HE'S DEAD CHARLIE LET IT GO.

 

It has been fun and heated debating her parentage these past two years. Once the dust has settled from TLJ, i wonder what the next big debates will be?

Going to make a guess that it will be two years of people who hated TLJ vs people who loved TLJ. I hope not, but i fear that that is what it will be.

 

Why would she "go straight to the dark side" like Luke says?

It's obvious she's Palpatines grand daughter. Her parents did leave her there like Kylo says, because they were spawn of Palpatine. Scum themselves.

 

I meant if he got it on before he died. He had a smoking body .

Nice point about the throne room. You've just knocked down one of their main motivations for wanting it to happen!

That, and if the final scene in TLJ disproved Reylo or not, or if it gave Kylo humanity (if he lied to her vs he was genuine with her in the bond). Shipping wars are always the worst. Probably the same people on the same sides of both debates.

 

How is it obvious she is Palpatine's granddaughter? Where in TFA did it show this? Who is his son that had this granddaughter?
