The Rey-Murph connection

In another thread (which I didn't want to derail, so am posting this) some connections between Murph (from the movie Interstellar) and Rey came to mind. Bear in mind that I'm not making predictions for EIX here, but just, thinking out loud, as it were. And thinking about where things might go if the connection is meaningfully related to the course of the movie.

Both left on a desert world leading to a scene with both shouting at a departing vehicle.
Both initially counting the days until the return.
Both "give up" on the return on the departed.
Both face feelings of purposed abandonment.
Both have special gifts, an inherent aptitude.
Both mentored by an older man who is hiding a truth that changes the way they think about the mentor.
Both tasked with saving something larger than themselves.
Both have a male antagonist counterpart.
Both have a "quantifiable connection" with the protagonist.

If the connection is meaningful and moves into Episode IX then this could lead to:

Both have an "extra-dimensional ghost" comminucating with them, and instructing them.

Interstellar features a unique place called the tesseract. It's a place where time is represented in 3d allowing the protagonist to act across time, creating bootstrap paradoxes. The tesseract is created by "bulk beings" who are people who have evolved past the four dimensions we know. They are "five-dimensional" beings. The tesseract sounds a lot like the "world between worlds" from Star Wars.

The force ghosts and the bulk beings.

The force exists beyond the dimensions we know. The force ghosts are the "hands" of the force. In Interstellar, it's the "bulk beings" (who are actually humans who evolved beyond time and space) who built the tesseract, maybe it is the force ghosts who built the "world between worlds". What if the force ghosts exist beyond time? Can a force connection be established which is beyond the constraints of time? Did Kylo Ren actually see Rey in Rey's force vision? Remember when Rey appeared in the rain scene, and Kylo turned as if he saw her, then made a move toward her before she "disappeared"? Is Rey's connection with Kylo beyond the bounds of time, and that connection allowed him to see her in the past?

Time travel in Star Wars sounds a bit off to me, but I said before that could be simply because it hasn't been introduced so it's "off"ness is just a result of it not being there in the context of the story. If it's introduced, it may quickly become "on"ness. But if the above were to play out, what makes it interesting is that the time travel has in fact already been introduced (via the existence of force ghosts) it just hasn't been revealed yet. But if the force ghosts are the proverbial "hands" of the force, causing events across time according to the "will of the force"? It's different, to my mind at least, than simply introducing time travel into the story. It's strange, but fascinates me at the possiblity of adding potential depth to the force ghosts.

What do you think?
