My friend had this theory about Rey: She is Han's and Leia's daughter, but Luke erased their memories of her and left her on Jakku to keep her away from the First Order and the Dark Siders. My friend used this to explain why Kylo Ren has this curiosity about "the girl" and why Leia instinctively goes to hug her after the events at Starkiller base.
What do you all think about this theory?
He also predicted that Finn will have metal/prosthetic legs in the sequels.
I still, personally, think that she's related to Obi Wan somehow.

It's possible, and it fits with other rumors I've heard.

going along with that as her origin, i think it more likely that Rey's memory was wiped and Han + Leia knew full well who she was.

very far out theory, grossly violating the established timeline and facs:
- The FO only rose after Luke left the building (ie ran away and hid in isolation poutingly). - Rey was abandoned on Jakku at age 5, she is 19/20 in TFA. According to Disney canon Luke' temple was destroyed/he left 7 years before TFA. So how does this all play together? - The theory does not make sense in the slightest and assumes that Luke is an complete irresponsible idiot to abandon a 5y old girl on a desert palnet with a Jabba-like slaver guy. - Also, mind wiping is not established, and a constant mind wipe would make Leia look weak minded, which she isn't (the Force can have great influence...). We know that TFA-Han and Rey are idiots though..
In the end, TFA is just bad writing, they could not even copy the storyline without breaking it logically. Contrived fan theories make it even worse. That is the beauty, curse and legacy of TFA's writing. |

My theory about Rey is that someone needs to brick in her mouth.

If they did, they never acted like it was some secret they were keeping. it would go a long way to making sense of Leia rushing to embrace and console a woman who she had never so much as laid eyes on. though it could also be attributed merely to the brashnes of youth, i'd also say that Han displayed some familiarity in the way he treated her, particularly in the scene before they enter Maz's keep. |

Rey as Han/Leia's daughter has always been my theory as well. Her disappearance needn't correspond with the fall of the Jedi Academy, nor necessarily with Luke for that matter. I used to think in that direction and still consider it possible that Luke was directly involved in her disappearance, but subsequent viewings of TFA have led me to more strongly consider the idea that she was left on Jakku by someone involved with the First Order. We see the red lights of a space ship at the end of her abandonment vision. I believe this was either meant to point toward an agent of the First Order, or was perhaps even a more subtle nod to Han's new freighter.

I simply interpret that hug as two strangers grieving over Han. Leia was nice to her, but I didn't get the impression that she knew who Rey was but was hiding it. Actually, I attribute Leia and Rey's hug as well as Han's treatment of Rey at Maz's castle to Mary Sue center-of-attention writing. Same thing with Luke. Despite pretty much everyone wanting to find him, Rey alone gets to meet him face-to-face. Once again, they're probably strangers to each other, which makes this moment all the more unusual. |

I think Rey is Luke's daughter. I think at some point Luke fell in love just as his father Anakin did and conceived a child. This of course is against the Jedi way. He sent her away for protection which became permanent after his failure with Kylo turning to the Dark Side. This is why the lightsaber (which was Vaders) bypassed Kylo and went to Rey. She too is a direct decendant of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

That vision is probably just Abrams mystery box that leads to nowhere. |

JJA is probably the biggest liar in Hollywood. See his comments before Star Trek Into Darkness, then compare them to the movie itself. |

I think that's his point. You can't trust any one on the creative team because: what the hell else are they supposed to do when something leaks or when the same question bombards them on social media? Of course they have to lie. That's why Hidalgo's quotes about the Plagueis questions are meaningless to me. Whoever they intend Snoke to be, or whoever they intend Rey's parents to be, they intend to reveal it through scenes in the movies and any lucky strike guesses before film revelation will of course be denied. |
