'Star Wars: The Force Awakens': Is Rey The Daughter Of Obi-Wan Kenobi? Episode 8 Possibilities
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" have left some loose ends, and fans are thirsty for more information about the characters of the newest movie, especially Rey.
Who are Rey's parents and will her background be revealed in "Star Wars: Episode 8"?
Not a lot has been revealed about Rey's character in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
"While little is, currently, known about Rey's past, we know she spent much of her life scavenging the desert of Jakku - in order to survive," Screenrant wrote.
"Rey asserts that she is 'no one' but director J.J. Abrams has previously stated that Rey's lack of a last name is intentional - and could hint at a connection to established Star Wars characters."
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" may have also given out a hint that Rey is the daughter of a prominent "Star Wars" character.
"The Force is strong with Rey - so strong that, according to Star Wars mythology, it must be inherited," Yahoo Movies reported. "Could Rey be the secret daughter of Luke Skywalker (the man she thought was a 'myth'), or Princess Leia and Han Solo?"
With such little information about Rey, it is not surprising that various fan theories about her background have been circulating on the internet ahead of "Star Wars: Episode 8." One of which is that she's the daughter or grand-daughter of Obi Wan Kenobi.
"It wouldn't be wild speculation to assume that Luke will now train Rey in the ways of the Jedi in Episode 8," Huffington Post theorized.
"If Rey is a Kenobi (admit it, you're convinced), this would be a profound and emotional reversal of the role of mentor and teacher: a Kenobi training a Skywalker followed by a Skywalker training a Kenobi. Narrative symmetry."
With all the theories about Rey's background going around, fans who have watched "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" are eagerly anticipating the next movie on the series, "Star Wars: Episode 8," scheduled to hit theaters in December 2017.
