9 Rumours You Need To Know About Star Wars Episode 8

4. Han's Daughter Will Show Up

It has long been rumoured that at least one of the new leads in The Force Awakens will be a secret Solo, especially since so many of them aren't revealing their full names. The most likely candidates as it stands are Rey, because she looks a bit like a young Leia and was sat next to them in that first cast photo (!), and/or Kylo Ren, because plot twist! However, with more females said to be coming to Episode VIII, it has now been suggested that rather than one of the characters from The Force Awakens being the Solo offspring, Han's (and presumably Leia's, although he was married before that in the new Marvel comics) daughter will show up in Episode VIII instead. This could make sense, as people are expecting the Solo reveal in The Force Awakens, so it'd catch them off guard, while the reason for them only showing up now may have something to do with another rumour about the fate of one of their parents.
