What is Rey's surname? Who are her parents? They were big questions asked before, during, and after The Force Awakens, and every time the most likely answer was Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. Because Star Wars is the story of Skywalkers, and Rey is the new hero, and her clothing even looks like his and she Force pulls his lightsaber out of the snow and it just makes perfect sense that she's his daughter (although the mother thing is still a mystery). But then, maybe she's not. There are plenty of other theories, again some that make very little sense (Han and Leia just happened to forget they had a daughter, really?), and others that could be plausible: she's a Kenobi (Obi-Wan's granddaughter), or maybe she really is no one, and was simply just being trained by Luke at his Jedi Academy, and was the only survivor. Most signs do point to Skywalker, but the next two instalments could have a major rug-pull in store on that front. What surprises to you expect Episodes VIII and IX to have in-store?

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
