Two Force-capable characters? Each young and wayward, uncertain how to use their magic space wizard powers? Both naturally capable with a lightsaber?
Rey and Kylo Ren have a lot in common, which in the galaxy of Star Wars speculation means they’re connected by more than their Millennial intensity.
If Rey and Ren are siblings, it explains how Rey got her Force affinity (from her grandfather Darth Vader via Princess Leia). It also sets them up for a heart to heart, there-is-still-good-in-you emotional showdown in the second or third movie, and creates yet another reflection of the original trilogy where Luke and Leia were revealed to be siblings.
