If we think back to the prequels (I know, they're horrible) the great Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn discovers a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong in the Force. Here is what I think is ACTUALLY going on: (Kind of like how there always seems to be a death star.) I will say the good cousin vs bad cousin dynamic is a bit interesting, but it would feel like a direct repeat of the father vs son story arc in episodes IV-VI.
Force awakens rey how to#
If Rey does turn out to be Luke's daughter, Episode VIII better be titled, Star Wars: Horrible Parents because it seems no one in this universe knows how to take care of their own kids.Īlso, linking Rey to Luke and Kylo Ren to Leia diminishes the size of the Star Wars Universe significantly, limiting it to a soap opera-style "everyone is connected to everyone" type story. He is in fact the estranged son of Han Solo and Leia Organa. He was given the name Ben Solo (possibly named after Obi Wan Kenobi?) at birth. We already know where Kylo Ren comes from. She locates Luke Skywalker to presumably start her Jedi trainingĮveryone thinks she is Luke's offspring, I however do not! THIS IS WHY!.She uses force pull during the lightsaber fight with Kylo Ren and defeats him with Luke's old saber.While being held prisoner at Starkiller base, she learns how to properly execute a Jedi Mind trick.She becomes aware of her force abilities during her visit to Maz Kanata.During her years scavaging on the harsh surface of Jakku she has gained a complete understanding of how things work (expert mechanic).

She has been waiting for at least 10 years for them to return.She was ditched on Jakku by her supposed "family" when she was a young girl.By the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey has become stronger in the Force without any proper Jedi training, but we still are left in the dark about her her lineage.
