Rey Solo

Huh?
He says her parentage will be addressed and, separately, there will be some surprises.
If we discover that Rey's parents were say, Palpatine and some concubine of his for example, that would address it. As would finding out her parents were dead...or, well anything. There is no proof that she is a Solo. Yes, there are strong hints and clues. But nothing conclusive whatsoever...and then you have to get passed all the questions that TFA raises which make her being a Solo unlikely if not impossible.

 

Even if Rey and Kylo french kiss in TLJ there would still be people here saying "she will be revealed to be his sister in in Episode 9, just like in the OT when Luke kiss Leia and she's revealed to be his sister in the next movie, Rey Solo is coming in December 2019 ".

 

Imagine that Rey turns out to be a Solo and going back to watch TFA. How do you explain Leia not recognising her own child?

She carried the girl in her womb, she gave birth to her, she likely spent time with her, she never saw her body nor sensed her death. And then in TFA she sees a girl that could look like her daughter, be the right age and have strong force powers. She's an orphan who is waiting for her family and is strangely drawn to Luke Skywalker. She was found on the Falcon.

Yet to Leia: nothing. Nadda! Zilch! She's just some powerful girl that has been drawn into the conflict.

I'm sorry, but that won't ever add up and if it is true that she is a Solo this will be an error beyond that of Luke French kissing his sister.

 

agreed, womb Force vibes would have given this away, especially after the example set during Leia's pregnancy with Ben.

 

JJ in the Blu-rey commentary "Rey and Leia never met".

So Rey was inside Leia for many months but "they never met" ? Rey was separated from Leia at birth ? Leia (daughter of the Chosen One, strong with the Force) who can feel that Luke is still alive in the canon novelization of TFA can't feel that her biological daughter is still alive and is suffering on Jakku for at least 10 years ?

And the most ridiculous thing: Leia doesn't tell Rey that she is her mother/does not recognize her daughter at the end of TFA as proved in the novelization:

"I'm proud of what you're about to do," she told the girl.

Rey replied in all seriousness. "But you're also afraid. In sending me away, you're ---reminded."

Leia straightened. "You won't share the fate of our son."

Rey daughter of Han and Leia can't work, or it will destroy TFA, the canon media and the character of Leia.

 

If what someone said was true that from the time Leia and Rey embrace to when Rey is leaving to find Luke that three weeks have passed, you can see the look on Rey's face showing that she's now more at ease with herself.

When Leia first sees Rey near the Falcon, it's like she's drawn to her and when they're face-to-face, she just stares at her for a moment before wrapping her arms around her. The emotion on both their faces symbolises something important.

 

I remember!

 

Stuff like this makes it an even longer wait.....there's gonna be some really upset people one way or another.

BRING IT ON, I CANT WAIT £50 on #reysolo!!!

 

So you admit it now, strong clues!

 

She is stunning, dead ringer for Natalie Portman/Carrie Fisher lineage

 

That's the hilarious part of the Solowalker naysayers, if you were making a clean break from the Skywalker/Solo family regarding Rey, why on earth would you pick a spitting image of Natalie Portman haha.

You just wouldn't lol.

Let's start over, new Jedi, new character totally unrelated! Let's pick Padme MkII!

 

So this massively important reveal happens offscreen and TLJ begins with Rey and Leia knowing they're mother and daughter? Seriously?

I've always said this, though perhaps "clues" is the wrong word. But there are signs she could be a Solo, Skywalker or random. Were there not then this debate would've ended long ago! I've always maintained that Rey Solo storywise makes a whole heap of sense but that after watching TFA I cannot see how it can be the direction they're going in (regardless of the potential "hints"). It's not impossible. They might just leave these huge contradictions in. Or they might invent some complex, long winded expository BS to try and explain it away. Either way, TFA comes off bad if she is a Solo.

Rey Skywalker would be easier to explain at this stage without diminishing TFA. Rey Random continues to look the most likely and, for me, provide the better story going forward.

 

So every female in the star Wars universe who is Caucasian with brown hair must be related to the Skywalker lineage? You may not realise, but that is not how it works in the real world. I know a lot of Caucasian women with brown hair, nearly none of them are related to each other.

 

Yep, I remember -



That was hastily deleted within an hour.

Here is that interview she did on Japanese TV with Kathleen Kennedy also -

Kathy says the films are about “Family”. (Again) And that’s why they cast her.

Then Daisy answers with “when the film starts my character is solitary, so I think that’s a clue as to what...IT...is?!” Then they both laugh.

The interviewer follows up directly asking if she’s a Solo, to which she just laughs and looks delighted and doesn’t deny it. (Though to be fair, she doesn’t confirm it either)

Seems somebody gave her some coaching on interviews/social media going forward.

Notice she also says that you’ll know from watching the film, who her family is.

This mirrors JJs comments, that they originally planned to reveal it in VII but decided one family reveal was enough (Kylo) and pushed it to VIII for Rian to deal with.

(And it explains certain scenes that are “off” - like the Leia hug)

Whether they changed their minds half-way through production or not, I’m not sure...they may have.

But I’m thinking she was originally designed to be a Solo.

(That was also the long-standing MSW rumor too, back when they were spoiling Han dying and Luke only in the end of the movie. They were hard core Rey Solo. Which they suddenly did a 180 on, said she might be Random. stopped posting any other spoilers, and as most have guessed, probably got warned by Disney. No real true “spoilers” have come from them since.)

 

Because: Rey is waiting for her family + Rey builds a family in TFA + Rey has to let go of her family to go forward + The fate of her parents will likely impact Rey's choices later on.

Because: Rey's parents are dead + this was before the release and before anyone knew anything so could just mean - her parents are not in it.

You think she'd react differently if someone asked: Are you a Skywalker? Or a Kenobi?

Baseless.

She doesn't say that. She says people should watch the film and "know what happens there". We saw the film. Rey was an abandoned child on Jakku and her parents were described as "never coming back". No one recognised her. If the film points to anything, it's that her parents are dead and she has to move on - which is a struggle because family is so important to her.

Maybe. Maybe it was the original plan - but it appears that they have changed it. If Han knew the truth and said to Rey on SKB "you're my daughter" and then Ren realised it too - and then we discover that Leia found out from Han and that's why they hugged - then all the problems and questions would disappear. But that didn't happen. Which suggests it was never the case (and the other family reveal pertains to something else) or, perhaps as Lucas implied, they threw the idea out:

"What happened to Vader's grandkids?".

Would Lucas say that if they kept his story (Solo kids)? Or would he perhaps make more of a jibe if they threw his ideas out and went with just the one Vader grandch

Whether they changed their minds half-way through production or not, I’m not sure...they may have.

But I’m thinking she was originally designed to be a Solo.

(That was also the long-standing MSW rumor too, back when they were spoiling Han dying and Luke only in the end of the movie. They were hard core Rey Solo.

And I thought that same going into TFA. I think Lucas' story likely was about Solo kids. But coming out of TFA I changed my mind. You can't reveal her as a Solo in TLJ and have TFA come away with any credibility.

 

no no...........solitary

 

Is it me, or I sough recognition in Leia's and Rey's hug?

There is sect that believes the recognition in that hug is visible like a full moon on a moonlight?
