Many Star Wars fans were outraged when Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) made the shock revelation to Rey (Daisy Ridley) in The Last Jedi that her parents weren't special at all, but rather nobody junkers who did nothing significant with their lives.

Considering the expectation that Rey would end up being related to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), it left a huge contingent of fans frustrated and upset, though others praised Rian Johnson for defying expectations and pulling back from the series' over-incestuous obsession with everyone being related to one another.

With J.J. Abrams not only directing but also writing the film, one suspects he's going to impart his decidedly more sentimental, fanboy-friendly approach to storytelling and reveal that Kylo Ren was either misinformed or deliberately lying about Rey's back story.

She'll probably turn out to be Luke's daughter in the end, somehow, and fans can be firmly divided on the issue all over again.
