Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 6 Huge Reveals From The Leaked Script

2. Rey Is Left With Unkar Plutt

Another pivotal moment in Rey's vision is the moment she's left on Jakku by her parents. While it's relatively easy to miss this while watching the movie (especially as there's so much going on), the script confirms that it is indeed Simon Pegg's Unkar Plutt who she's left with. That raises a number of questions, with the biggest obviously being why her parents would leave her with such a terrible person! While Rey seems sure that they're coming back for her and fans are convinced that this is all leading to some sort of massive reveal, what if she was just an unwanted child abandoned by neglectful parents who sold her to Plutt? There are really a lot of assumptions which could be made now that we know who the youngster was left with, but there's a very strong chance that answers won't come for a number of years. The script certainly makes their departure sound pretty definite anyway, so it could be that the franchise isn't going to circle around to addressing their identiies. "A little girl. Rey as a child. She is sobbing, hysterical. Unkar Plutt€™s meaty hand holds her thin arm. She is on Jakku, watching a starship fly into the sky, abandoning her. "The ship flies towards the desert sun, which is strangely eclipsed, as if being eaten by darkness."
