Rian Johnsosn: Rey's parents question is still open

It's just clear that they've been making up the story as they were going along.. and that makes this trilogy an unorganized mess. I don't think i'm too interested in what Disney's going to do from here on out.

 

You realise the OT was made up as they went along, right?

 

It bombed in China because they feel disrespected by the pandering towards them..

They were approached with artistry, also you don't do it when you're eight movies in and have billions of dollars on the line..

 

Lucas had an outline....and also none of the 40 years of expectations and backstory or several major corporations nor a rabid highly sensitive fanbase to answer to. It was his baby only a select few believed in. Much different situation.

 

So if the mystery is still open, who do you hope her true parents are?

 

He also didn't design the second part to crap on everything good about the first part

 

People are blowing this way out of proportion. RJ is just saying that its out of his hands.

 

I hope Kylo's description isn't true. No way parents did that.

 

Correct. Which is why I don't think it is a problem with Rey not being related any important and the sky isn't fallen.

Who is this guy and why should I care what his opinion is over mine? Everyone has an opinion and none are above the others.

Ashamed? Who feels ashamed? I don't... Do you?

This is just my opinion and please don't take offense at it as it is not directed at you, but I have heard this statement many times. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this is "entitlement". Just because there may be 40 years of expectations, EU, and backstory, we are entitled to something different than before, more than before. Even if we were told before hand that we didn't learn much about the Emperor in the OT and similarly we wouldn't be given much on Snoke, but people get upset because we are entitled to different/more because we have all this 40 years of backstory. What I think people forget is that we HAVE 40 YEARS of backstory. All this wasn't done over night and wasn't given in OT. It was given in EU and eventually in the PT. Given another 40 years, all the things fans would like to know from the ST and the time between OT/ST will be given, just not immediately as some would like. As different as opinions are here and all around, they can't make a movie that encompasses everyone's expectations. Just have to make what they come up with. We can enjoy it or move on. Just my opinion though.

 

I saw the film for the 3rd time today. It's really a beautiful film. The movie is different, but it's the same. Luke's sacrifice although different than Obi-Wan's is very much the same. Parentage is very much a big part of the film, but the reveal is different.

Rey's past is settled. The future is in those new Jedi scattered around the galaxy. Luke passed in peace and with purpose. His story isn't over and neither is the Jedi.

 

My thoughts are the same! Im getting ready to watch it again!

 

LOL, c'mon now. If you think that Lucas wasn't making it up as he went along then you are out of your mind. Or do you believe that as a self-professed purveyor of family films that he introduced Luke's incestuous crush on Leia, which led to an incestuous kiss in TESB that he knew in doing so that they were twins.

 

Lucas brought Darth Maul back to life despite saying in TPM DVD commentary that he had Maul die that way so he couldn't be brought back.
Just saying.

 

Lawrence Kasdan: “[J .J. Abrams and I have] not really [sketched out the next episodes]. [The Force Awakens] sets up a lot of stuff. There’s a lot of people to deal with. And Rian took on that job and he’s going to change it, because he’s Rian. And I’m sure Colin will change what Rian does…. These movies will all be so different. Rian Johnson is a friend of mine — he’s going to make some weird thing. If you’ve seen Rian’s work, you know it’s not going be like anything that’s ever been in Star Wars.” “We talked about [the ending of the new trilogy] — and there’s a certain thing that people who are involved with it feel should happen. There’s a kind of movement that happens. But it’s not in your control. It’s going to veer off with Rian, and it’s going to veer off another way with Colin.” (December 22, 2015)

J. J. Abrams: “I had no intention to return. But when the opportunity presented itself to finish a story that we had begun with these new characters, to tell the last chapter of their story, it felt like there was a chance to do it in a way where we could go beyond, and do better than we did in [Episode] Seven. I learned so much in that movie and I saw that this was a chance to sort of realize something that we hadn’t quite achieved – and part of that was it was simply the beginning of these new characters and their story. The opportunity to sort of take what we had learned, to take the feeling of who these characters are and what they are and give them a final chapter that felt in the spirit of what we begun? It was too delicious of an opportunity to pass up.” (December 6, 2017)

 

So there is still hope for Rey Skywalker or Rey Solo after all!



Kylo Ren may have in fact lied to Rey about who her parents are (there was already a lot of issues with the "reveal" that her parents were junk traders who sold her for drinking money) and manipulated her into believing it was true. He wanted her by his side because she's the other grandchild of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. His cousin or sister.

Without her father/uncle and aunt/mother, she and Kylo are the last of the Skywalker bloodline (... well, for now. I still believe Finn & Rey will end up together in Episode IX and if she is a Skywalker or a Solo, Finn can marry Rey, adopt one of the two surnames (Finn & Rey Skywalker or Finn & Rey Solo) and have children together. Even if those children don't appear in future movies, there's always comic books, novels, etc. like the Expanded Universe). The fight would be between brother and sister (much like Jaina and Jacen in the EU) or the son of the daughter & the daughter of the son. Maybe Finn can join the fight as well.

I realize this is all about opinions, personal theories, etc. but I'm keeping the faith until 2019.

I'm a Rey Skywalker/Solo supporter and I'm proud.
I'm a Rey Skywalker/Solo supporter and I'm proud.
I'M A REY SKYWALKER/SOLO SUPPORTER AND I'M PROUD!

 

In my opinion, Kylo was right and Rey's parents are indeed "nobody". Disney will want to show that in order to be someone great you do not need to have special parents or other support, but you can come to be great thanks to your own hard work.

Rey and "hard work"? Hahahahaha

Did I say he wasn't?

It wasn't the corporate machine it is now, where 20 different corporate heads have to approve everything and there's billions of dollars riding on it. There are so many employees involved, that it's dumb to suddenly give them 5 minutes to design everything.. everything should be locked in 3 years in advance.

The incestuous kiss isn't as bad as Rey.. who got wet after Kylo took his shirt off. The same dude who could have killed Finn for all she knew, killed Han, killed all those Jedi.. oh and he tortured her.

Perfect setup for a romance or epic writing fail?

Little girls are now being told that they shouldn't have to work to do what they want, and they should go for bad partners.. NICE ONE DISNEY.

 

That's pretty much been a theme in every SW trilogy, Rebels, etc... already. How many times are they going to act like it's some novel idea when we've seen it so many times before? I think we get it.

 

Exactly there is definitely nothing special about Rey, she just worked extremely hard during those 2 weeks within the scope of the movies, it was all done off screen of course.
I'm gonna start training really hard now, maybe I can challenge Mayweather or McGregor next week.

 

She didn't have to work hard. It's always been there. So if you have always had the force of boxer then go ahead and go to Vegas and place a bet on yourself.

As for Kylo lying...he wasn't. You know why? Because he didn't say it first. She acknowledged it on her own.

Here is the conversation

Kylo"You're still holding on. Let go. Do you want to know the truth about your parents? Or have you always known? You've just hidden it away. You know the truth. Say it. Say it,"

Rey"They were nobody."

Kylo"They were filthy junk traders. Sold off for drinking money. They're dead in paupers grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me. Join me."

Now a few things he made up, possibly, but she herself says they were nobody.
