    Going into TFA, I was strongly in the Rey Skywalker camp. However with TFA's release and the subsequent TLJ news, I think at this point it's safe to assume that Rey is not a Skywalker or Solo, I still believe there is a chance for Rey Kenobi or Rey Palpatine, but I believe it's a very small chance and that Rey is just most likely of a different bloodline separated from the Solowalkers, Palpatine's and Kenobi's, et al.

    Since we have Ben/Kylo, I think that essentially fills the "Skywalker Quota" for this trilogy, would it be nice to see two Skywalkers on completely different sides of the Force? Yeah, it would be awesome, and part of me hopes that is the case. But I think Lucasfilm and Rian Johnson are going to do something different, and maybe switch the sagas from Skywalker centric to new character centric. Do I believe Kylo will be redeemed? Yes I do. Do I see him with Rey? No, I don't. I guess we'll have to wait until the film comes out to see what happens.

    Have your views changed on Rey's heritage during the interim between TFA and TLJ?

    I'm in agreement with you on this. However, if she IS Luke's (which I'm doubting), I'd be quite happy with it. I don't think the parentage reveal is the main reveal anyway. The fandom has done that to itself despite all the ambiguity and clues presented in TFA. I think it'll come in what happened during Luke's temple massacre.

    I still think she is a Skywalker (Luke's kid) and I'm hoping she turns out to be either that or a Solo (Han & Leia's kid). Either way, I'll be satisfied because not only would she be Anakin/Vader's granddaughter, but I think both options set up a great story. I hope she is Luke's daughter though.

    Who do I want Rey's parents to be? I don't mind as long as it makes for good, believable story and stays true to Star Wars.

    Who do I think Rey's parents are? Well I personally have always thought Rey was a Kenobi from the moment I saw her face and heard her voice. Having seen TFA a million times and recently the TLJ trailer, a million times, probably reinforced my thoughts on Rey being a Kenobi. So in regards to the title of this thread, my view hasn't changed going into TLJ.

    In regards to Kylo being redeemed. I find this really intriguing. I think a lot depends on the way Kylo has been manipulated and seduced to the dark side. The methods Snoke has used.

    I believed originally that she was Luke's (and it would not disappoint me if she is) but I'm feeling like she won't be now. A lot of it was based on the LS of Luke and Anakin seeming to call to her, but I don't believe it was the LS anymore I believe it was the just the force, the LS was just a catalyst.

    Eliminating Luke as her parent I think offers the franchise a chance to give the fans some closure and yet another carrot to chase.

    I am starting to believe that if we have any more saga's it will not be about the Skywalker's and I feel this trilogy is setting us up for that if Rey isn't one.

    I forced myself to not think at all, so to go to the theater and be genuinely surprised by whatever they will do.

    I want her to be a Skywalker,if she is not, then lineage of Skywalker dies with Luke. I find that to be dumb. However, she will not be a Kenobi--although she could have Kenobi blood.

    I kind of think Sabine is a Kenobi and Sabine eventual gets with Luke, make Rey a Kenobi Skywalker. That would be great. The only relationship I could see Kenobi in would be with a mandalorian princess, so...

    Left TFA thinking she was likely a Skywalker, now I'm even more convinced.

    I'm with you on that - and maybe Kylo Ren and his potential children will be the "Skywalker" element of the story moving forward.

    She is not a skywalker... and the lineage will not die ... Strongly suspect she is a Kenobi..grandaughter ... and i think we began to see hints of this in the trailer and the poster... She is most likely going to be Mandalorian..of a noble house from her hair do.. that was one of those hints ... Not sure about Sabine as her mother I think Pablo came out and said that Sabine and Ezra would not be her parents. If Sabine dies and it looks like her brother has... then there may be another member of the house ... a cousin or something ...

    Yeah, I'm sticking with my family fiction that she is Luke's daughter until the film says otherwise.

    Same view. I want Rey to be a Skywalker/Solo, but never assumed she would be. If she is the main protagonist of the ST (and she is) it makes sense storytelling-wise (as connective tissue to episodes I-VI) for her to be a blood relative of Luke/Leia. Make it a separate (non-episodic saga) trilogy if the main protagonist is not a Skywalker, otherwise there is no need to attach it to the Skywalker saga. I'll love the characters and enjoy it for being Star Wars, just don't wrap it in the Skywalker family saga blanket if your main protagonist is not a Skywalker/Solo. For what the Rey trilogy is on its own merits I won't like it any less as a Star Wars vehicle, for needlessly attaching it to episodes I-VI without the relevant connective tissue is what would diminish it.

    I don't care anymore. I've seen so many theories but none of those were worth a movie plot.

    I thought for a long time that she was a Solo. At this point I think she is an outsider. She is the light side legacy of Anakin in opposition to Kylo the dark side legacy of Anakin. The fact that she wasn't born family will end up irrelevant because she comes the same humble place and her time with Luke will connect her to the Skywalkers forever. Think back to the TFA trailer, "you have that power too." The message for viewers is that making a difference is something anyone can do.
