Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Big Questions Raised By New Trailer

5. What's Rey Holding Back?

Despite the fact that they escape Jakku together, Rey and Finn apparently don't have much time for formal introductions. This suggests that the time between the two meeting up, and the attack of the First Order and subsequent escape in the Falcon, happens fairly swiftly, if they aren't spending too much time together on Rey's planet. It's once aboard the Falcon that they really get to know each other, as Rey asks for Finn's name. It looks like being one of many great scenes (who am I kidding, they all look fantastic!), but it's with Rey's response that something seems... missing. She tells him that her name is Rey, but you get the feeling she's holding something back. Is it that Rey isn't her real name, or that she's deliberately hiding her surname (or that she doesn't even know it)?
