    Most of the theories out there about Rey's origins doesn't make any sense to me or are way to complicated.
    Thinking long and hard on how they could find a 'deeply satisfying' way to tell a story..this is my theory..simple and effective..

    1) Rey is conceived by the force itself as a way of balancing the evil that is Kylo, plain and simple.
    - Would explain her abilities, her purpose in a grander scale, and would avoid complicated explanation about her parents
    - Would mirror the OT and PT

    2) At the end of Ep 9 and all evil is defeated: In an epilogue we will see that Luke settles down and his wife gives birth to a young child. The last shot we see is Rey holding the child and promising to be her protector . A promise for yet another continuation of the Skywalker-sage in the next trilogy.
    (Ofcourse Luke can also live beyond ep9. and with the new trilogy Ep 10. set after his death we will be introduced to the child of Skywalker)


    What do you think? To me this seems more logical than and elegant than most of the exotic theories out there.

    I don't think that Epilogues would make too much sense and isn't "martial" to STAR WARS --- THEN AGAIN --- we barely got ANY swipes in TFA so...

    Well thats why I said 'Luke can live beyond Ep.9. In that case an epilogue wouldn't be needed.

    Not sure if Luke will have a child at the end of the trilogy. Hell he might already have a family, who are just in hiding. But I can see a child being born into the world and Rey would have to protect him/her.

    Rey IS Luke's child!!



    if anything, somebody is gonna have to protect Rey's children, from the next BAD GUY ((Kylo Renn's children))
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 17, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 17, 2016 ---
    i have theory's, same as everybody else.

    the reason i said that somebody was gonna have to protect Rey's children ((protect them from Kylo Renn's children)) is: Ben Solo (Kylo Renn) & Rey are brother/sister. They are Luke's kids... NOT Leia's children. Han & Leia adopted Ben, when he was a baby... they ((Han & Leia)) might have adopted Rey, as well... but, by the time Rey was born, Ben had already turned to the Dark Side, and they didn't want Ben to find his little sister, Rey. So, they ((Leia)) abandoned Rey on Planet Jakku. i would have left her on Tattiuone ((Anakn & Luke's home planet)), but, that is me!!



    The FORCE is strong in this family!!
    Anakin has it, Luke has it, Leia has it & Luke's children have it...

    i dont like the conceived by the force storyline, it just comes accross as a little unbeilvable, which i get is a daft thing to think in a world full of a mystical force.

    also really want the resistance to lose at the end of episode 9, if they win at the end of episode 9 .... then where on earth do you go with episode 10, another eveil lord comes up and tries to take over..... it far more intresting if Snoke or Kylo come out victorious

    I personally do like the idea of Rey being conceived by the force to restore balance (any time there is a rise in darkness, the force creates its own balance). I think the part that has always bothered me about the PT is how easily the "good" Jedi can be overtaken by evil/darkness.

    Your thoughts?

    What if Rey has a child at the end of IX. Then you would have a new skywalker.

    With Disney wanting to make more films past 2020, there will be another "Skywalker" persay. I use that term very loosely because we don't know if Rey really is a Skywalker. It almost feels like they are trying to shove it in our face that she is, but I can't confirm it until we get more hints in 2017 getting closer to Rian Johnson's film.

    The ST already has a couple of story/plot elements that are the reversal of those in the OT:
    (1) The father (Vader) was the villain and the son (Luke) was the hero in the OT, but in TFA the son (Ben) was the villain and the father (Han) was the hero.
    (2) In ANH, the teacher (Obi-Wan) gave the light saber to the student (Luke) and asked the student to go on the adventure, while in TFA the student (Rey) gave the light saber back to the teacher (Luke), and it looks like the student will have to convince the teacher to rejoin the fight against the First Order.

    In the PT and OT, the "chosen one" was conceived by the Force to restore the balance, but he turned evil and then had to be brought back to the light side by the Son. It will be another interesting reversal in the ST if the Son (Ben) is supposed to restore the balance, but he turned evil and then has to be brought back to the light side by someone (Rey) conceived by the Force.

    I think that Disney when they bought LucasFilms had a strong idea of what they were doing. A movie every two years building a SW franchise. I think thae have the will to create a whole new universe without Lucas ideas and this trilogy is a transition.

    Introducing new characters during 3 movies while removing the old ones wisely and softly. Han Solo died in VII, Leia will in VIII and Luke in IX. Removing Kylo Ren will let them get rid of the old Lucas trilogy and open up to set freedom for the new heroes of their universe.

    Rey will be the face of the franchise for years to come. And because they are story tellers, it will be smooth, the transition will be OK.

    Be prepared to have 10 or more movies as Rey as the hero and Finn as the resistance general.

    There will be a lot of new characters and factions in the new Star Wars but I don't see the Skywalker survive Kylo Ren. It will be a new brand story after episode IX and it will be Rey's story in the galaxy.

    I do see there does seem to be a certain willingness if not eagerness or expectation among some fans to see Original Trilogy characters such as Luke and Leia and Han "clear the stage" to make way for new talent because they "had their time," so to speak.

    Han's arc does seem to be over now. Since we do not know how Luke or Leia's character arcs ultimately end, it's interesting to examine this expectation in lack of that knowledge.

    If that anticipation exists not because characters such as Luke and Leia and Han are simply older, and if this is not simply about Disney putting distance between themselves and Lucas' own trilogies, perhaps some arguments in favor of Luke and Leia and Han's "removal" might be based more on the expectation of a generational changing of the guard.

    Which is fine, because then we should really brace ourselves and come to expect this "old gives way to new" logic likely to be extended to the next trilogy as well (i.e. before we manage to get our hopes up of 10+ episodes for Rey and company).

    So, under that evenly applied thinking, as of Episodes X, XI, and XII, Rey and Finn and company, whose stories would have already been introduced and presumably told in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, should be expected to step aside, be minimized, or have their character arcs ended (even before some fans are ready to accept that) so that new characters and another new generation can be introduced in the next triology.

    After all, if it is considered fair and proper for this to be said of such iconic characters as Luke and Leia and Han, we might just as well expect the same to be said of Rey, Finn, and the rest, in all fairness.

    I do hope we get to see Rey and Finn in more than three movies, just as I dearly hoped to see more Luke and Leia and Han.

    And perhaps we will. I think it would be great!

    Until then, every time someone suggests Luke and Leia and Han "had their turn," that it's time for new characters to take charge, let us remember those same things could (and perhaps should) be said of all the other characters in this saga, including Rey -- that is, if there is to be any sense of even-handedness in terms of character development trilogy to trilogy.

    Rey's going to have a big ol' destiny bomb dropped on her head in Episode VIII. I can't wait. As far as her role past this trilogy, I think she's the next Luke.
