1. Her parents are people we haven't met yet; are not recurring characters in the SW universe so far.

2. She's a Kenobi

3. She's the Emperor's granddaughter

4. She's a Skywalker

5. She's Anakin reincarnated (fart noise)

6. She's a Han & Leia's kid.

Yeah, the "perpetual chosen one"-thing ****ing sucks.

I hope she's the granddaughter of Kenobi and Duchess Satine, which would further prove the hypocrisy of the Jedi Order.

That's the most likely path, though it would be cool if Kenobi had some action with another force-sensitive in his post-Jedi wanderings.

We need those Kenobi stand alone movies. I think the reveal would be better there than in VIII, if that theory is true.

Would explain why she's seemingly stronger with the Force than Kylo - she's the daughter of a powerful Jedi Master where he is the son of a Force sensitive woman who never trained as a Jedi or tried to hone her skills.

Yes. That single movie or series with Ewan would be the best part of this whole affair.

Spoiler!

In the scene Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Council became “arrogant” and that they were hiding a “secret,” which led to their demise. The old Jedi master takes Rey’s hand and shows her a glimpse into the past. They see two children playing near a tree on an alien planet. The boy noticed that he had greater strength and intuition when he was closer to this tree. The girl noticed that the tree also made her brother increasingly angry. One day an argument breaks out between the children, and the boy kills the girl. The boy touches the tree and is “transformed,”. He kills his parents and leaves the planet. Meanwhile the girl is revealed to be alive, transformed by the tree as well, using her power to start the first Jedi Order.

The girl explains how The Force can be used for both good and evil. She tells her followers that one day she would return as either a boy or a girl, and that they should train this child. Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Order had been searching for The One (reincarnation of the original founder of the Jedi) for a millennia. When they found Anakin Skywalker and thought that he would bring balance to The Force, the Jedi were “deceived” and the Clone Wars were the result. The scene also shows Rey’s parents, and Luke is not the father. Luke tells her how she was identified as strong with The Force, and how she was supposed to begin her training, but never reached her destination for an unknown reason. In the scene Luke gives Rey a choice, and she has till sunset to make it.

Also, in other reports, the boy starts the Sith Order and the girl is the founder of the Jedi Order.

Boooo. Boooooooooooo. That sucks, I don't like it, it's crap. Boooooooooo.

I agree.

Yep.

Daisy Ridley posted a work out video on Instagram and made a point of covering her hair, because it's a secret. Padawan braid?

He' probably talking about the concept art in The Art of Star Wars book or whatever it was called that came out in last Dec/Jan.

My kids gave it to me as a Father's Day gift but we've been too busy to go through it. I'll have to look for this art tonight.

Also, word on the street is that the other Knights are lesser force-sensitives, likely in the vein of Marauders and Assassins from KOTOR.
