Rey Solo

Only Anakin Skywalkers second grandchild is bad a$$ enough for this, anything else would be selling Kylo out...

 

Maybe. I noticed you added the well chosen "started" to disintegrate. Because Bloodline still has Leia wishing to give up politics and go enjoy being with Han. Later when forced to be the possible Populist candidate she mourns not being able to quit. They Han rescues her and they have a pleasant time before he returns for the last bit of the race. Finally when she gets the bad news its going to be with Han that seems to be the silver lining. Now I don't disagree that when Ben falls the entire season of life from when Ben went to Luke and his turning wouldn't be seen differently by Leia in hindsight. But that's still possible speculation.

Speculation honestly I would want to see confirmed Rey Solo was my original choice.

Is it? Or is it central because its not obvious to us like it was for Daisy that the question of her family was already answered.

Occam's Razor pushes the simplest theory if there is no evidence. There is evidence to the contrary that needs to be explained away. And Rey Solo is the most complicated of the major theories.

 

Or anakin skywalker himself (anakin's soul/spirit/essence?)

 

Only problem with this is the Chinese market find reincarnation offensive I think, and it's a huge Disney market going forward

I may be wrong but I'm sure reincarnation is taboo I parts of asia

 

I notice you framed the question as explanation of her powers not on if she is a Solo.

Her powers are far more simply explained and thus supported by Occam's Razor by:
A- There is nothing that says she has "the highest level of Force Sensitivity. The don't give her a mitaclorean test. They don't show her exercising precognition, or learning things through the force.
B- First this suggests piloting skills are hereditary even untrained. But we know she built a simulator. Also people talk about how great a pilot she is but she crashes three times on take off including into the Nima Outpost gate, then scrapes the ground and the nicks the Star Destroyer.
C- She's a scavenger. She also is familiar the Falcon and knows that Plutt made changes.

All simpler explanations.

Now I was looking at the question of Rey Solo. There are other possibilities for whose child she is. Numerous other possibilities which at this point are less complex. These other possibilities:

1- Don't have to explain why she isn't recognized by numerous characters. Are there possible answers? Of course but it prevents relying on Occam's Razor.
2- Don't have to explain why characters who we would not expect to send a child they love to live on a planet as a junk yard subsistence beggar. Are there potential reason? Yes again but they aren't the easiest explanation.


I cannot stress how much I wanted Rey Solo. I still maintain its possible but I don't think its likely. The evidence sighted is not firm and largely speculation. But if its a Question of Occam's Razor it cuts hard against Rey Solo.

 

EVEN MORE REASON FOR REY SOLO!!!

 

Solo, solo solo!

Preach brother haha

 

DO YOU BELIEVE MY BROTHAAHH???

USE THE FORCE, AND FEEL THE POWAHH!!!



CAN I GET AN AMEN ON THAT!!!

 

@master_shaitan you hold onto your assumptions tighter than you clutch at these old straws!
Your favorite rebutting claims rest on negative evidence pointing only toward the crime of lack of imagination!

Missing/presumed dead for many years.
Fairytale.

Says who - the narrator of your head canon?
Characters do everything the writers need to tell their story and anything possible remains an option.

Maybe they did and it was cut because reasons.
Or maybe space operas don't require the melodramatic exposition of all past tragedies every time 2 “victims” share a scene together!!

A few strokes of a writers pen and it suddenly becomes apparent Rey was presumed dead when her and Leia's Force connection was severed.
Pick a reason... Rey memory wipe, Force draining, Force masking procedure/planet et al.

 

Gotta quote myself for purpose of retraction. If Luke defines Rey as "this much raw natural power" then she must be pretty dang powerful.

 

I'm more stocked now for Rey Solowalker after the trailer, looks great.

 

Really? Because I'm pretty sure I just saw ReyLo go to third base on their first date.

 

Well he roophied her on the first.

But in the ending scene they are in separate locations, and Rey is wearing her clothes from the end of TFA.

 

Yeah, spliced together. But it's still making the point that a lot of us predicted years ago - Kylo/Ben and Rey will come together near the end of the film. At the very least the shot is setting up the idea that they're going to get together in a "non-sibling" type of way...

 

Or trolling Reylo fans hard.

 

The last TLJ trailer sequence was a mislead just like the last sequence of TFA's trailer was.

Rey is wearing her Resistance Outfit from TFA/early TLJ, not her Jedi training outfit from later in TLJ.

 

Don't see that at all.

They are 2 halves of one protagonist, per rian.

If Luke is speaking about Kylo and Rey as "raw power that I wasn't afraid of, but I am now", then it actually lends much more weight to Rey solo.

Here was nothing romantic in that scene anyway...which was spliced together.

I could see her partnering with him, if he's trying to come back to the light.

But nothing there said "3rd base".

I'd bet actual money against ReyLo at this point.
