Who is Rey’s Daddy?

I know, I know, late to the game. These theories have been tossed around a lot. But so close to The Last Jedi it’s time to really break these down!

Be sure to watch the video for a more detailed breakdown.

It’s a question that’s plagued us since 2015. Who are Rey’s parents? We should have seen this coming. “Who are you?” is one of the first lines in The Force Awakens theatrical trailer. But are we able to guess who Rey is based on what we know so far?

  1. One of the more obvious theories is that Rey is Luke’s daughter. Maybe it seems to easy for some. But there’s a lot of thematic evidence in images and characterization. Rey is a natural pilot, mechanic, Force user. She dresses much like Luke and Anakin before him. Is this just more of Abrams copying the Star Wars before him? Or is it more telling? What about the island that Rey dreams about?
  2. Perhaps she’s a Kenobi. We clearly hear Obi-Wan say “Rey” in her Force vision. But does it fit Obi’s character to have a family with anyone than his departed former love?
  3. Or maybe she’s a Palpatine! We know that Palpatine cared a lot about Jakku. Maybe she’s there for a reason.
  4. However, more likely, Rey’s parents aren’t of any known name. She may just be a true rags to Jedi story.

I want to know what you think!
