Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 23 Major New Reveals You Need To See
18. Abandoned On Jakku
Following the Battle of Jakku (which will be made available as DLC for the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront video game), it sounds like the planet - which is littered with the remains of Imperial and Rebels ships - becomes something of a junkyard, with Rey among those forced to scavenge what's left in them to survive. However, the magazine confirms that she was left there - with no idea why - as a child, and based on comments from actress Daisy Ridley, it definitely sounds finding out why her parents did that and who they are will be a big part of her arc in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. "Shes been alone for a long time," the actress explains. "When something occurs when youre 5, you know what went on but you dont understand the reasoning. She's hopeful for what lies ahead, whether that involves the past or not." Could those abandonment issues fuel a turn to the Dark Side? "Hope makes people good, a lot of the time," Ridley adds. "You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed."
