    So, I know early on Post-TFA, there were rumors about casting for a second potential kid for Han and Leia. And while I'm relatively sure that role was simply the prototype or something for KMT's character*, I was just wondering if y'all think that this second child could still appear, assuming it's not Rey.

    *I say that because the child was described as a smuggler or morally grey character I believe, and that seems to mesh with leaked reports about KMT's character.

    yes it is possible, but unlikely. I don't believe they will give Han a kid from a different woman. But it could be there is a kid close to Leia, which goes by a different name (Carrie's real daughter plays in the movie). But as I said it is unlikely for either Rey or a different kid. ;)

    I agree with @nightangel, it's possible, but very unlikely.
    A yet unseen second Solo child wouldn't make much sense to me, neither Han nor Leia mentioned a second child. Then another Solo appears out of nowhere? A second child could also mean another protagonist for the ST and more conflicts for Kylo Ren but we already have enough of that. Less is more...

    The only way to introduce a second Solo would be to reveal Rey as Han's child. But her being a Solo is pretty much debunked.

    As a huge Han and Leia enthusiast (especially Leia) if Lucasfilm ruins the character arcs of both Han Solo and Leia Organa - Solo further I for one will not be pleased.

    I went into the film convinced that Kylo and Rey were going to be twins or siblings. I walked out convinced they were cousins.

    I don't believe they'll throw in a second Solo child. Regardless of whether or not Rey turns out to be Luke's daughter, I wouldn't rule out that he has another child floating somewhere in the galaxy.

    Hahaha. I went into the movie convinced that Rey is hinted as a Solo because I thought she already had known Han before TFA. Then Han would reveal her real lineage (=>Luke Skywalker)... Oh boy, I was wrong.

    A second Solo kid? "Solo" means one, so obviously there can be only one "Solo" kid! :p

    I don't think they would set up TWO kids as the main characters .

    Kind of like how J.K. Rowling gave the character who turns into a black dog a name that means "Black Dog," and the werewolf a name that means "Wolfie McWolferstein." ;)

    I actually misread an caption on a picture from entertainment weekly. The picture showed Carrie Fisher's actual daughter and said she was in the movie. I wasn't really thinking that hard and I read it as them showing Princess Leia daughter. So the first time I watch TFA I kept on looking for her character in the movie and when she shows up at the base working on a computer in my head I was like "oh, thats cool Leia's other kid works along with her"

    I went through the whole movie and even the next couple of days thinking that Kylo Ren twin sister was actually in the movie and they just showed her but she must not be a big part of the story. It wasn't until I started reading theories about Rey before I went back to the Entertainment Weekly picture and at that point I realized I misread the caption....I will say one thing about this massive error on my part, it made my first viewing of TFA completely different than most

    This. It would've had to come up in Han and Leia's conversation when Han said that they "lost their son." How could Leia have let that line go without saying something like, "We still have (insert other child's name here)."

    What if Rey IS the Solo kid and Ben is Luke's son?

    I actually wondered about this early on, but in one of the books Leia is pregnant and she knows it's a boy.

    I believe it is possible that Rey is also Han and Leia's child, and I voted that way, but I have no clue what TPTB are aiming for so my suspicion is the surprise will be that Rey is unrelated to any known character (even if I don't particularly like that idea - I will accept it). If Star Wars is truly a "Family" saga it will come to pass that Rey is a Skywalker. If the idea is for the saga to transition away from the Skywalker line then Rey will not be a Skywalker. The thing is that we have discovered the parentage of all of the "main" main characters to this point (Anakin and Luke), so it wouldn't seem right for that to change now with Rey who takes the same role in the ST.

    Every time I see this statement I find it perplexing. If Rey is random she'll be trained by a Skywalker to fight the grandson of Skywalker who happens to be a sister of a Skywalker. There's plenty of family ties in this film and even if Rey isn't related the Anakin family arc is still driving the story.

    After the information that has come from the books, Rey being deposited on Jakku years before the destruction of the Jedi Temple, the dialogue of Han and Leia I believe a few things are certain.
    1. Han and leia had only one child
    2. Luke never married or copulated (sorry no Mara Jade, who is a cool character)
    3. As it stands Kylo Ren is the only Skywalker Heir, thus before 9 finishes he must either 1)live through the series thus keeping up the family line, or 2) Have kids either through a wife, or a fling, or something.
    4. The character most likely to redeem Kylo Ren is actually Anakin Skywalker. At some point in the story Kylo must confront the difference between who he believes Darth Vader to be and who Anakin Skywalker was. When he does this it leads to
    5. the character most likely to defeat Snoke is Kylo Ren.


    Luke Cannot do this. If Luke could change Kylo's mind it would have been done before. It has to be done by Leia, or Rey, or the ghost of Anakin Skywalker, which would make some people vomit. I actually kind of like that idea, but not sure how force ghost Anakin meets Kylo.

    I didn't need to know that much! LOL

    As I said before, the idea of a little Allana Solo-canon version would not be that bad.

    If KR could watch The Clone Wars...

    It doesn't matter how Kylo has a child, but unless 9 is the end of the skywalker saga, or we skip over to Shimi Skywalkers brothers and sisters, then Kylo must either live or have a child. If Star Wars was willing to get really, really dark, like Shakespearian dark, then they have a ton of options. Star Wars however has never been that dark. In truth, Anakin and Amidala only needed to do the "dirty deed" to continue the story. Lucas however would rather they marry than show a sex scene. I suspect Kylo will be much the same. I am curious to see how this resolves.

    For what its worth, the above is reason number 1 to suspect that somehow, someway Anakin had another child or Rey is the child or Luke or Leia.

    It is hard for me to imagine that JJ, Lawrence Kasdan, and Michael Arndt wouldn't know that between TFA and 8 that there wouldn't be billions of people that would speculate on this subject for years. I would like to think that they know their core audience is smart enough to dive into a more complex story. It is just set up way too easy for Rey being a Skywalker. Maybe, I just hope that they put in some more effort than going down the easy route.

    All that being said, as worried as Leia was in Bloodline after some information came out about her. There is NO WAY she could have a second child
