Star Wars - Impressions, no spoilers, just impressions!

They're gonna have to explain it somehow.

When Mark Hamill read the script and saw her doing all that stuff his first reaction was "Hey, she hasn't even been to Dagobah yet!".

Or tge really far out one is she's leia's and Hans other kid.

One would think that Leia and Han would recognize her when they meet her though...

[Tamas]

I think/hope she was just a very talented jedi-trainee kid who got evacuated to that desert planet by Luke when it all went tits up with his New Jedis Program.

[Admiral Yi]

Being abandoned on Planet Salvage Yard does tie in with Luke going full hermit.  Though they will definitely need a scene in which he says he's really, really sorry for being such a shitbox.

[The Minsky Moment]

As celibates go the freakin Jedi seem to have an unusual number of offspring.

How could she not be?

Because Luke would not abandon his own kid on a desert planet if he knew about her?

Nobody cares about what happens in a children's cartoon show.

They're more mature than Episode I and most of II.

But for Rey to be Luke's long-lost cousin on his mother's side seems like it would be verging on self-parody.

Mel Brooks did it better.

I still like the fan theory that Luke fell to the Dark Side in Episode VI.  It would be super awesome if they adopt that for the next one (though I'm sure they won't).

That would be awesome.  I'm sure Mark Hamill would be up for it.

I recently watched Jedi again, and that seems very plausible to me.  I mean, the dude is dressed in all black like a Sith, he's got a mechanical hand, and he wails on Vader like a motherfucker, all enraged-like.... and it makes Palpatine hard.

Rey could be the daughter of the Emperor. She's like 20ish and it's been roughly that much time between ROTJ and TFA. It would also allow some explanation why she was left on that junkyard planet and explain her force aptitude.

Well like I said, it made Palpatine hard.
