What if your Rey theory is wrong?

Rey Palpatine or Rey Kenobi. Not because I think they are shaky theories, but because they have been speculated upon for so long, that the mystery is gone.

 

None is unacceptable if well written.

 

This is me calling Kathleen Kennedy when Rey is related to any other previous SW character.

Eh, it wouldn't matter that much.

 

is there a way to react if you have no theory

 

I couldn't agree more.

As much as I'm opposed to the idea of her being a Kenobi, I love the idea of it being Kenobi's granddaughter saving Skywalker's grandson, etc.; the theory just fundamentally doesn't make any sense to me at all the way that it's typically presented by fans: Obi-Wan went against his character, had a child whilst watching over Luke on Tatooine with someone other than Satine, but never had much of anything to do with them? And then his child just so happens to be Rey's parent?

But even then, I trust in Rian Johnson a heck of a lot, and if Rey's a Kenobi, I'm sure it's been written in a much more elegant way than us fans could pull off.

The mystery excites me, and as much as I think her being Luke's daughter is the most likely if she's to be related to anyone or a Nobody otherwise, I'll only oppose theories like Rey Kenobi until I walk into the movie theatre in some 53 days, at which point, I'll adopt a totally open mind and give myself up to whatever Rian Johnson's engineered for us.

 

Haha. I have a theory, it's been said, but it's unpopular so I am keeping it to myself, haha.

 

Yeah, the whole “who is Rey” thing doesn’t bother me at all. I’d like to think she was a nobody and nothing to do with the Skywalker’s/Solo’s.

Reason being, my theory is that the Skywalker bloodline needs to end and a new hero needs to emerge to rebuild the Jedi Order. All traces of Skywalker need to be extinguished - including the creator of the Chosen One. But let’s not go there on this thread...

 

Well, I'm never wrong, so I have nothing to fear. Just kidding. Haha!

As long as her backstory is well written, I'm open-minded for everything.

 

I've never really had much of a theory about Rey. Before TFA I thought for sure she was Luke's daughter, but now I believe she's a random with a possible noble parent.

 

If my theory is wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised at the movie for surprising me.

 

As long as the movie is well made and the plot good, moving, and strong, I don't care if my guesswork turns out to be wrong. More power to LFL!

Personally, I don't have pet theories that HAVE to be fullfilled to sell me on The Last Jedi. I do, however, have theories as to where I think character arcs and stories are heading based on analysis of The Force Awakens, but these are theories I would be happy to be proved wrong (as long as LFL's solutions are better than mine, which shouldn't be difficult )

 

I agree. I am more inclined than not to think that Rey is her own character, unrelated to Skywalkers or any other Jedi-lines in any way. However, I will be adjust my assumption, if this is proved wrong in a compelling way.

 

IF my theory is wrong, I shall find a bed of appropriated height and crawl under it. Vowing to not come out until Disney fixes the problem.

No seriously. It doesn't matter to me. Obviously her parents have not been a big part of her life, so knowing who they are just provides that knowledge and only that. I just want an great, interesting movie, with well written characters that has me smiling when I leave and wanting to see more.

 

We all have theories about Rey's lineage, but ultimately, there will be one truth revealed. I will accept that truth, because ultimately my theory is just that, a theory...

 

Agree..

 

Can't care less.
I have my preference. But I trust them. As long as the story is compelling I don't really care.
But a couple of other things - about the real end game - could make me despise the movie and the ST.

 

I like Rey Nobody but I think she's a Kenobi. And in the end, it really doesn't matter who she turns out to be if it makes sense for the story. Unless she's a Skywalker. I loathe Rey Skywalker. I don't like the idea that this family might the only one capable of producing force prodigies. Yes, Anakin was the chosen one, but that shouldn't mean that the force has designated the Skywalkers as the "holy" family. What makes Rey's power so impressive is her humble origin. This character proves that the force can choose anyone, that there's no "elitist club" of force users in the galaxy. But if she turns out to be just another Skywalker....meh. I'll be looking forward to watching this one family wrecking and saving the galaxy again and again on their own like they're kings among peasants. About as interesting and touching as watching paint dry.
