She's a natural pilot, just like the other Skywalkers, is naturally strong in the Force, and Luke's lightsaber calls out to her in 'The Force Awakens.' At the film's end, it looks like Luke instantly recognizes Rey and has a connection with the young girl. How the theory goes: Rey is Luke's daughter. Luke, what have you been up to in the ~30 year gap in between 'Star Wars' episodes 6 and 7? His existence emphasizes that there are a bunch of Force-sensitive children out there who can come from any corner of the galaxy.Īs my colleague Kim Renfro points out, Rey is a more compelling hero if she comes from nothing. We're introduced to a Force-sensitive boy on Canto Bight. And the very end of the film supports this theory, too. Why it could be possible: Revealing Rey came from nothing is a very Disney-friendly message. Was Kylo Ren just lying to Rey in order to get her to turn to the dark side? Perhaps. Since Abrams apparently had a different idea for Rey's parentage and will be directing 'Episode IX' it will be interesting to see whether or not he changes up this reveal. Then again, you would think that if Rey was related to any of the three that they would instantly make that connection and no one seems the wiser. Many were bummed to hear Rey wasn't related to anyone. Rey seems so connected in the Force to Ben, Leia, and Luke in 'The Last Jedi' that it seemed odd she wasn't related to any of them in some way. Why people don't buy it: This is it? This was the big reveal? 'They were filthy junk traders,' Solo tells her. When she stays silent, Ben tells her she's nobody, revealing her parents sold her for drinking money.

How it goes: Kylo Ren/Ben Solo tells Rey that she knows the truth about her parents and that she's known it all along.
