Star Wars: Episode 8 - 10 Major Twists That Could Shake The Galaxy
9. Reys Parents Arent Skywalkers
As soon as the first screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has concluded, fans began speculating about who the heck Reys parents are. Is Daisy Ridleys character of Skywalker descent? everybody asked, and, if so, is she Luke or Leias daughter? These theories and rumours became so persistent that itd now hardly be a twist at all if she was revealed in Episode VIII as a Skywalker.
In fact, itd be a bigger twist if she wasn't. If Luke and Leia both deny the parentage of Rey, many audience members would be shocked to hear that their theories werent correct. But, if shes not a Skywalker, where did Rey originate from? And what was that whole lightsaber-calling-to-her vision sequence all about?
Perhaps Rey is just really strong with the Force, meaning somehow that she could sense the importance of the lightsaber and thusly pick up all these strong echoes from it. Flashes of Luke and Anakins lives appeared to her, because it was their weapon and theyd left some kind of Force imprint on it. Her relation to them or lack thereof actually had nothing to do with it.
Maybe Rey is linked to another powerful Force family that viewers dont know about yet, or perhaps shes just a total anomaly whos not related to anyone. Episode VIII is bound to give us answers one way or another.
