Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I hope he's Rey's father
It would make a lot of sense. His Force Talent is making mental connections, most of what we see Rey doing well is making mental connections.The characters have many elements in common, from scavenging trooper armor to being shown playing with helmets to being abandoned around the same age.

s!b “Lol she’s a Skywalker, DUH!!!!!”

[philstar22]

I never considered this, but I actually like this idea.

[eleganceliberty]

It's a hell of a lot better than the half-joking/half-serious "Ezra turns into Snoke" theories I've seen floating here and there (mostly in /swr/, lmao).

But yeah, they'll take the easy way out and make Rey a Skywalker or some kind.

[shortysc22]

I kind of hope they bring some of Rebels into the new books at least.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly I hope it's never revealed who her parents are. I'd love to see all this "important lineage!!" stuff thrown right out the window and have it firmly stated that it doesn't matter in any way, shape, or form from whose loins she sprung, because she's Rey and that's all that matters. I'd love to see any potential relation to Kylo left completely ambiguous. It'd be such a refreshing change.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be 100% cool with this too. My favorite options are
A. We never find out.
B. We find out and they're unknown new characters with new history to explore.
C. She's Ezra's daughter.

Mainly because it would give Rebels a point? I like the show, but at the time it feels a little like someone's OC fanfic. We know that no matter how much the Rebels do to help Bail and Leia that they're not going to play an actual part in the OT. But making it about Rey's father and his life would give it a connection without really smooshing them together.

[culturevulture73]

I wish she was no lineage at all but if we don't find out who her parents are, we're going to have four years of people screaming at each other on Tumblr. And I'm about at the end of that now.

I love Ezra and I wish he was her dad. Or Kanan. But that would mean he wasn't with Hera, which would be sadder.

[gobbledigook]

Yeah, it's kinda tiring how much Star Wars loves this trope. Sadly with all the buzz over who's her father I think Disney is more likely to cash in on that rather than leave it alone...

[(Anonymous)]

Same here.

[otakugal15]

“That lightsaber was Luke’s, and his father’s before him, and now it calls to you.”

"The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. You have that power, too." - Luke Skywalker from that one trailer.

This quote from Kathleen Kennedy:
"The Saga films focus on the Skywalker family saga. The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous six films. The Force Awakens follows Return of the Jedi and continues that generational story. The Anthology films offer opportunities to explore fresh characters, new storylines and a variety of genres inside the Star Wars universe."

[(Anonymous)]

Yadda yadda, don't care. I still hope she's not. It probably will happen, and you'll gloat, but that doesn't change that I hope it goes in another direction. It'd be more interesting.

[fishnchips]

I honestly can't imagine them taking canon material from an animated kids' show that not that many people may have watched (in comparison to the movie) as the basis for a major, major plot point of the movies.

[(Anonymous)]

As opposed to taking Poe's parents from a backstory comic that not many people have read?

Honestly while her parentage is probably going to be an interesting point, most of the Star Wars characters don't have their lineage being a "major, major plot point"

Han Solo's parents? Kenobi's? Padme's?

[diet_poison]

I agree with you in general (that it's not a bad thing to use spinoffs etc.) but Rey's parentage is definitely going to be a plot point and people are clamoring to know the deets, and I definitely don't think it's going to be of no consequence like the examples you gave

[fishnchips]

Poe is not as important a character as Rey's and I'm also quite sure that they have not been and will not be mentioned or important in the movies.

Rey, on the other hand, has her backstory/family story set up as a more or less important plot point in VII, important enough to throw flashbacks and several very obvious hints that, no matter what it is, that story is important for that character. You don't do those things to just drop them, at least not if you want to keep a semblance of good writing.

Han Solo's parents are irrelevant for the character's development, Obi-Wan is a classic Jedi with very very little contact to his parents (and it is equally unimportant for his development). Padmé's as well. Anakin, however? Major plot point. Luke and Leia? Yup, doubly so in both their cases. Kylo Ren? Hell yes. And in all cases where the parentage is important, they never, ever, take a character from a secondary, EU type canon.

Just imagine how ridiculously flat a reveal like that would fall. Everyone is waiting for the great reveal, and the father is *drumroll* EZRA.
*crickets chirping*
It would sabotage the whole thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Poe isn't that important a character. He's like Wedge. It's important that he was there, but nobody's calling the original sage "The Adventures of Wedge Antilles and friends", either.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering Poe was supposed to die off in the first place, I think this is a moot point. Rey is too important in comparison.

[diet_poison]

I would like for her to turn out to not be a Skywalker, but I don't know who this guy is.

[(Anonymous)]

Main character of the current canon cartoon Disney's doing. It's set 5 years before the original trilogy, so the Rebellion is just really starting to take off.

[(Anonymous)]

:)

[anarchicq]

Would Sabine be her mom, then?

[(Anonymous)]

Probably it would be someone who looks like Rey and who has a strong Core Worlds accent.

[gobbledigook]

I like this too. I'm pretty sure something from Rebels is going to factor in the next movies, even if it's a backstory from somebody.

If him being Rey's father somehow gives him some sort of hand in making the characters not die horrible deaths, that would be nice too. :^)

[otakugal15]

I haven't watched Rebels, but the movies alone...yeah no. Sorry Nonny. She's a Skywalker.

Also, have my late ass post for Friday's secret (i was at a con, so i missed it)

Hate to break it to you nonny, but the movie was REALLY REALLY obvious about who she's related to. The super obvious parallels, “That lightsaber was Luke’s, and his father’s before him, and now it calls to you.” the very obvious hark backs to certain scenes, cues, fighting styles, cinematography, etc.

"...his father’s before him..." - Maz Kanata to Rey
"I am a Jedi. Like my father before me." - Luke Skywalker

"The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. You have that power, too." - Luke Skywalker from that one trailer.
(as in, she ALSO has this power...that the Skywalker family has. so much emphasis on the family part there)

This quote from Kathleen Kennedy:
"The Saga films focus on the Skywalker family saga. The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous six films. The Force Awakens follows Return of the Jedi and continues that generational story. The Anthology films offer opportunities to explore fresh characters, new storylines and a variety of genres inside the Star Wars universe."

These promo images of Rey and these promo images of Anakin:
http://reyskyvalker.tumblr.com/post/141178043677/vivelareysistance-anakin-rey-totally

Daisy Ridley confirmed that she is NOT a Solo.

Not to mention Mark Hamill's awesome trolling that I do honestly believe is the truth. He's just going about it in a way that has people constantly in a state channeling Oprah "So what is the truth?"
