Unkar Plutt and Young Rey

I read the novel. It doesn't say who left her or with whom but Plutt tracks her down at Maz's castle. Chewie pulls his arm off as described by MSW. Kylo also probes her mind and finds a barrier that he can't get through and it scared him. It is clear someone has altered her mind and put in some protection. Kylo also keeps asking her if she is just a scavenger. During their fight he says it is you. Snoke also says Klyo was right about her to Hux. Clearly they know who she is. Not sure why she was left with Plutt. Rey is disgusted by him and how he looks at her. It could be she was not left with him but he was holding her to keep her from runing after whomever was leaving her. I think she lived in the village that was destroyed when she was younger too.

BB-8 and Finn are her first friends ever too. I don't think she will have romantic feelings for Finn either. She has a moment with Poe and it seems like he will be her Han solo.

 

Sorry. As reported by this site. I know I read it here as I don't go to the msw site.

 

Rey being left with Plutt points to some dire circumstances at the time. Whoever did it must have thought indentured servitude was a nessesary evil to keep her safe.

I don't think Kylo left her, and I don't think he was even aware of who she might be until the mind probe.

Let's not forget Kylo was likely a young teenager when Rey was brought to Jakku.

My guess is she was being hidden from Snoke and it was her mother who brought her to Jakku. Luke, Han, and Leia probably didn't even know about it.

As indicated in the crawl the first order is looking for Luke who is the last Jedi. No one is looking for Rey. If she is Luke's daughter and no one is looking for her, then either no one knew Luke had a daughter (pretty unlikely given her age in the flashback) or she is presumed dead.

Obi Wan, Luke, and Yoda all confirmed as voices is Rey flashback. Plutt also confirmed in the flashback-

He does apparently know Leia, from his remarks "She'll always be royalty to me...". He's old enough to have probably known Bail Organa, possibly even Anakin and Padme.

I suspect we'll never know the answer to the rest of your question, though. Or why Luke would make a map in the first place, put it in two parts and have some kind of plan for the circumstances that would bring the parts together again. The short answer is- they needed it for the story. I find that to be unsatisfactory, but YMMV.

 

Im curious to why so many link Lor San and Rey together saying he looked after her or something? I have seen no hints of this and the only link so far is that he happens to be on Jakku at the beginning of the story and he knows the Skywalkers. My feeling is that no one other then R2 and Luke actually knows about Rey.Perhaps Kylo also was to know too but it feels like that part was cut out of the movie.

Remember her bitter line to BB-8 "Classified ?! ...Me too....big secret"
A wink to the audience but perhaps more then that. Perhaps more hints that she senses the truth subconsciously but doesn't understand it like the images of the ocean and the island in her head. She might also have been probing Unkar with questions but to no avail.

 

LS Tekka will be a known character for sure but the most likely option is that he is someone we don't know YET. Possible options for mr. Tekka

- Bobba Fett (i really don't think so and i would prefer Dengar as ROTJ continuation mercenary)
- Ezra or even Kanan (depending on the aging, this is possible, the name here is changed in order to protect development of SW Rebels)
- Someone from "SW Rogue One" (this might be the most likely one)
- Wedge Antilles (if he's someone from OT i would love to pay respect to Rogue Squadron Leader)

But the notable thing to this question is that i consider LS Tekka is on Jakku because the map piece he was looking for was in Jakku, perhaps left in and by the same person that left Rey in first hand, therefore LS Tekka might have nothing to do with Rey.

 

I just came from my second viewing, and I realized now that he knows who Kylo is/was, so he was very much in the know of the Solo/Skywalker ins and outs.

 

I

In the visual dictionary it makes it clear that he is a new charater who lived through order 66 and the oppression of the empire. He was a member of a group called the church of the force that were jedi sympathizers during the empire.

 

I agree, he has nothing to do with Rey. Which is most unfortunate, but such are the ways of JJ.

 

Seriously so many people did not understand the finale, it was totally genius and was a great ending. When people say they were dead the entire time i cringe. if the ending of the new trillogy is that complex and thought ought ill be a happy guy.

 

Soldier of fortune, hmm?or bounty hunter? To me Lor san tekka is old boba fett

 

Why are we discussing Lor San Tekka again?

No real friend of Rey's would give her to Unkar Plutt. Kylo Ren, himself brought her to him on Jakku, to hide her from the light.

 

I think we've seen the last of Jakku. Maz told Rey her parents "are never coming back". Rey accepted that and thus did not journey back to Jakku at the end of TFA, instead she went on the Falcon to find Luke Skywalker on 'Craggy Island' ("Father Ted" reference...! )
