    There are 3 weeks between Rey's arrival at DQuarr and Rey leaving for Acht To.

    And Mommy didn't find time to tell her ?

    Scary family.

    @Dark Toilet! I should've known you come back holding the Rey Solo leash. I could smell your foul stench why I logged on! :p

    Again, such a scenario depends on Han, Leia and/or Luke knowing what happened to Rey. Knowing who she is. It would make them terrible people. It would make their reactions to her in TFA inexplicable. So I don't buy that part of your response. I guess if it miraculously turns out that Han & Leia are her parents and just never knew about her, she might get angry enough at Ren to risk turning bad. But I find that whole situation messy and I don't feel it is the angle they are going with for Rey. Her dark path is based upon her abandonment - as is Ren's.

    But it's nice to see you back in the game Mr Toilet!

    Most people just think... I... smell bad... on... the outside...
    I've always been here... mostly lurking... mainly because I dread coming into this, and other certain "Luke is Rey's Father" threads only to discover the topic has been hi-jacked by north-of-the-US-border samurai who have no master, arguing about out-of-universe issues that are really inconsequential to the storytelling going forward... :p But I digress.

    I personally would prefer an "abduction and presumed dead" scenario, in part because I don't want to see our old OT heroes as ... tarnished. But really, there has to be some drama with them and controversy surrounding their decisions, otherwise, we have no story. So, I think anything is still possible... for me at least.

    And I can imagine a scenario where the abducted-and-presumed-dead Rey Solo returns only to discover that the brother she never knew ruined the family she always wanted. There is enough tension and drama there for me to question whether she might turn dark and vengeful, rather than stay in the light and seek to redeem that fallen brother.

    Just my worthless opinion. (After all, I'm the one who has openly suggested that she should be both Luke's daughter and Obi Wan Kenobi's granddaughter, so as to finally resolve the Star Wars version of the "Hatfields & McCoys" ... so what do I know?!? ;))

    Who says she didn't? Rey could have been walking up the "Jedi steps" knowing exactly who she is for all we know...

    Maybe, it would make Rey a character full of mercy while she was abandonned on a desert planet and mom was raised like a princess !

    Tonight, I decided to read up on different hugs and their meanings and found the one I was looking for relating to Leia and Rey's embrace, the way they hold each other. The emotion on Rey's face, Leia resting her chin on Rey's shoulder then closes her eyes as she snuggles into her neck. I think it further highlights the fact that it isn't about Han's death at all but rather something more powerful.

    Leia and Rey's embrace is apparently known as the "Deadlock Hug" and the meaning behind it is:

    "The Deadlock is a body-crushing hug that almost borders on a fear of letting go. In this hug, both people intertwine themselves as tightly as they possibly can, squeezing out every last drop of air separating them.

    This position is about deep commitment and not wanting to be apart. Author Caroll Bryant writes, “Love should feel like a hand sewn quilt made by grandma, wrapping you up on a cold winter morning.”

    By wrapping each other up in this way, you fear that letting the other person out of your embrace will somehow mean they will leave.
    "

    I wonder if Rey goes through a similar longer term discovery process like Ahsoka did in Rebels.

    I'm taking the below statement from RJ as another hint at Rey Solowalker... =]


    Ryan Johnson - "Whether it’s a big revelation like Dark Luke or Darth Vader being Luke’s father, or something as small as character moments that reveal relationship dynamics and motivations in past films we hadn’t noticed originally, each new film not only brings its own story, but fundamentally changes the way we view past stories. And that is as it should be. If these stories and characters were static and superficial, they wouldn’t be compelling."

    Oh that was Rebo's interpretation. :)

    Johnson said, "Each new film hopefully re-contextualizes what came before it. That’s part of the game. Yes, it’s a continuation of not only The Force Awakens but also of the legacy leading up to it."

    I've brought up that they would re-contextualize TFA going forward as well in the past as that would fit the structure of the OT.

    A guy posted this video few days ago.

    Those are new critical details about famous event when JJ. Abrams was asked about Rey's parents,

    he was asked that by a kid.

    JJ. needed 20 seconds to answer..he answered Rey's parents are not in episode VII, ..and .

    ... than... there was more the next day J.J. said , something we never knew about...That Rey's parents (plural) were not revealed in episode VII,that Rey didn't discover her parents in The Force Awakens. ... they may have been in her world already but she didn't descovered it jet.

    Please listen this entire video to the end.


    It is confirmation Han and Leia are Rey's parents.

    May the Force be with you.

    I wonder if they'll do with Rey like they did with Anakin and Luke:

    Chapter 1: The hero has a mentor that shows them the world they'll later be involved with. These are the good guys and these are the bad.
    Chapter 2: The hero gains a new mentor who teaches them how to survive in the world.
    Chapter 3: The hero finds themselves alone and must now use the skills they've been taught to change the world.

    So far, Rey has done/will be doing the first two.

    Note that he used the word THEY. "Not that they may not already be in her world". Interesting choice of words for us soloites.

    I would read that as more than one, Han and Leah. Not singular.

    Plural definitely. They, both.

    They are in her world already in ep VII, but she didn't dioscoverd them.

    That makes only one possibility.

    Just seem to further emphasises the loving hug between Leia and Rey being a mother-daughter reunion. I've been thinking if one of the things that Rey has written on her face when she sees Leia is "I didn't know" in that her father was right in front of her the whole time.

    In the " The Force Awakens visual dictionary" there is read that Leia has a special power.It says that Luke believe its the Force that gives her this strenght,
    It is the ability to cope with her sorrow and not grieve after "loosing so many loved ones" , control her emotions to be focused to be able to work and fight further.

    In other words, if Leia knows Rey is her daughter, feels it, or even if she herself leaved Rey on Jakku to protect her, she could do this, because Force gives her focus and abbility to defeat her emotions for greater good.

    For instance, theorethically, despite this would seem to be a sign of horrible mother, she is capable to supress her motherhood emotions and leave her own child on Jakku, cope with this pain, if the Force tells her it is for a greater good, for instance to save the kid from Snoke, from its dark destiny.
    She can even be silent to Rey herself for now, for a greater good.
