Rey Solo

i hate to correct you, but Han and Leia are still happily married in Bloodline.

it's established that Han runs a business that keeps them apart more than they would like and Leia is busy with the Senate, but they are still a "family" so far as they are concerned. in fact you get the distinct impression that it's always been this way: Leia in office and Han racing ships and running his shipping business. it's very clear why neither of them had time for Ben, and Leia even remarks at some point that Ben had no interest in either of their careers.

also Pablo Hidalgo has stated that Han and Leia broke up after their son became a murderer, which happened after the events of Bloodline.

@McDiarmid: why do you "disagree" with me when i'm just stating plain facts. uncool dude.
i'm not judging you or rating you.

 

Han returned to smuggling after the tragedy. he was always in the shipping business after the war.
he was a legitimate businessman with a wife and son. everyone even makes fun of him for it.

the tragedy that broke them apart was the revelation of Leia's parentage and Ben's subsequent (resultant, we presume) fall.

it's one thing to hope for this Rey Solo theory. it's another to just ignore facts. if you want to try to prove Rey is their kid, that's great, but Bloodline doesn't help you. Leia's only concern about her family is that Ben didn't really connect to other of them. there's no great strain, there's no Darkness, there's no grief. she only falls apart when she can't get a hold of Ben when the news about Darth Vader breaks.

and who is there to comfort her? her husband, Han. from whom she is neither estranged nor has a strained relationship.

the "tragedy" is Ben's fall to the Darkside.
like i said, Hidalgo confirmed this when he said Han and Leia broke up when Ben became a murderer, which happened after the events of Bloodline.

for whatever reason you have mixed up the timeline.

• Leia worked in the Senate, Han ran a legitimate shipping business and raced ships.
• Ben left home to train with Luke
• Leia was outed as Darth Vader's daughter.
  
• Ben fell to the Darkside and became a murderer; Luke went into hiding.
  
• Han and Leia split up.
  
• Leia started the Resistance to fight the First Order.
• Han returned to a life of illegal smuggling.

that's the order of events so far as we know them.
it's pretty straight forward.

 

she "lost" them in the sense that it opened the door to the disaster that was coming.
she didn't literally lose them.

she's admitting to Han in that moment that she made a mistake by sending Ben away.
that it's what precipitated everything else.
if she had kept Ben home, protected him herself, let him grow up with his father, told Han the truth about Snoke, told Ben the truth about Vader, maybe it could have turned out differently.

that's what she's saying; that from that moment, she doomed their family and didn't even know it.
but she understands it now.

 

Your bring great points FN but MC also hits hard,I sense "smoke"...
I read Bloodline,and it is interesting thing that this book makes some details from the past deliberately unspoken.
For instance,my own opinion,judge yourself please,,..this:
Millennium Falcon is missing.
Nothing,almost not a word about how,when it was stolen, and no emotions from Han about that lost ship.

Maybe this I say is convoluted but Han should talk more about his loved Millenium F.

Millenium is near Rey on Jakku.
Is it same "untold" event MC is talking about?

 

i used to suspect Ben stole it first. but i've come to seriously doubt that.
also, we don't really know how long it's been missing. just "years".

we can take Rey's chain of events at face value (that it was stolen by the Irving Boys), and which seems to be confirmed by Han ("who stole it from me.").
or, we can spin other theories for which we have no facts.

 

If anything, Rey's abandonment will be connected to Luke, not Han or Leia. That's why TLJ is about them.

 

Just my imagination:
Rey was abducted by a criminal organisation such as Amaxine warriors,by the order of Snoke in order to weaken the Skywalker-Solo bloodline and Luke's project of New Jedi.How did Rey ended on Jakku who knows,but abduction failed,however everyone believe Rey is dead.Falcon is missing for years before Bloodline to it could fit scenario of abduction.

I dream of greatest novel one day:Rey of Jakku.

 

People drift from Star Wars "meta"and fly into uncharted lands,asking whata..?

" meta "hits back self evidently.

Its all about family.

"The Force is strong in my family..
...Your have that power to Rey..."

 

You got that Rey being Solo and Leia's daughter is going straight nowhere ?

Solo is dead, Fisher is dead too, there will be no reunification of those three whatever happens in the next movies.

So where does that theory leads ?

What is the point of destroying the EU to make it again 2 years later ?

Just asking ... It would make TFA as a blatant swindle and moreover there will be no interactions between the supposed family ever again.

Is that professionnal writing or please some fans who think it's ... cute ?

 

You're all forgetting - if Rey is Leia and Hans daughter she won't be a Solo she'll be a Skywalker. If you think about it, Rey can't be a Solo, ONLY a Skywalker. Apparently thats how it works.

 

Leia is calling herself Leia Organa not Leia Skywalker ...

If Rey is Han and Leia's daughter, she'll be Rey Solo Organa. Deal with it.

 

No, she'll be Rey Skywalker - duh!!!!! Do I need explain how family works. (in case its not clear, I'm mocking the argument being made in another thread cause I think its funny).

 

Always a pleasure to read your imputs ....

That's all you can do mocking other people while bringing nothing to the table.

 

Your'e wrong, but as long as you enjoy it thats all that matters
