So as most of you have probably heard, there are many many rumors about Rey. People argue that they think she's a Solo other like me think she's a Skywalker, which is more than likely, and now there are new rumors that he may be the child of Obi-wan Kenobi.

So honestly in my opinion I think Rey is a Skywalker, and is Luke's daughter. I've researched the possibilities and everything I've found has led me to say what I think. So her are my reasons of my answer:

I have found that Luke had given his child to Obi-wan to keep her in hiding and safe from the Empire. As most of us who know like everything about Star Wars, the Empire look to pretty much take down any Skywalker there could be. Now, I'm guessing that everyone here reading this thread has seen the new movie. If you did, when we saw Han be killed by his own son, Leia could sense his death. You would think that if she could sense the death of her husband, she would recognize her own child. She would recognize her in general if she was Leia's child. Now I've seen that Rey's real name is possibly Kira. As if she was given a name to keep her in hiding so she wasn't easily recognized by someone who was looking for her. We notice Kylo Ren's fits anytime Rey was mentioned. We also know that he was trained under Luke to become a Jedi but he obviously wanted to choose his own path and he went his own way. Some rumors I've heard was that, Rey was trained with Ben (Kylo Ren) under Luke and with the fear of Solo's son turning to the Dark side, he took his own child, putting her into hiding so she wouldn't turn into the same thing or go the same way.

So then the next person we can go to is Kenobi. You never hear there being anything about him having a wife. And we wouldn't neccissarily see Obi-wan disobeying the Jedi Code. It's just not possible. So we could definitely rule him out.

So then that leaves Luke. The Prequels were focused on the Skywalker family lineage. We first see Anakin, Luke and now Rey. For instance, when Rey touches Anakin's saber, she has her first vision of seeing Luke and and her ancestry. We then hear the faint sentence of 'these are your first steps' possibly Luke messaging her through the force without her really knowing it? This voice isn't one we can quite yet depict, but Im sure that will be revealed at some point in Episode VII, hopefully. Could there be some sort of memory loss from her training with her own father and cousin?? Actively, she is remembering her training because she moves and fights like a Jedi. She has the reflexes of a Jedi and she knows how to use the Mind Trick and simple force techniques without really knowing she is using them. Because we do know, Jedi are trained at a very young age, so it could have been that when Ben turned into Kylo Ren, he discontinued Rey's training and hid her for her own safety to hopefully go back for her later. At the end before the credits, we see Rey and Luke meeting each other when she tries handing the lightsaber to Luke. He has a look on his face that is could we say a little bit of happiness?? Relief of seeing his own child? We don't know and probably wont until Episode 8 or 9.

And Rey would have to be of family lineage to Luke. And my reason for this is that if any of you have seen any episodes of Clone Wars, which I happened to catch one of the Episodes, when a padawan goes looking for their crystal, the force energy of the crystal, is connected to the energy of the person. And therefor, the person connected to the crystal, is the only one able to see its light. And if Rey is of bloodline to Luke, there is only one option for her to have been able to ignite the saber and see the vision she did. Now how Finn ignited the saber, who the hell knows? That's a whole different conversation. She wouldn't have been able to use the lightsaber technically if there hadn't been training or Jedi remnant.

Kylo Ren seems to recognize Rey when he captures her. They seem to recognize each other. This is why when the Admiral mentions an unnamed girl helping BB-8 escape from the Empire's grasp, Kylo Ren gets all upset and has his mind set on finding her. So then when he finds her and captures her, she demanded for him to take his helmet off. When he did, they exchanged a look that I think they recognized each other.

So honestly, in my opinion, I believe Rey is Luke's daughter. But tell me guys, what's your thoughts??

But she died and she wasn't pregnant.

I think she is Sidious' granddaughter. It is more than likely, and would explain why she was dumped on Jakku when the Knights of Ren attacked because Luke feared his powerful bloodline could walk and all to familiar path!

If Rey and Kylo know each other but she's simply suffering from memory loss, I'm not even going to watch episode IX. IMHO the need to have her be a Skywalker would make the story suffer too much. Why wouldn't anyone have mentioned Luke having been romantically linked? It certainly would've been important if you wanted to force the guy out of hiding and it's not like he was able to hide it as apparently Rey was born before his New Jedi Order flunked.

That, and for all the main characters to know she longed to be reunited with her family, you'd have thought someone would have told her. I think it would be to simple to have her be a skywalker.

I ain't seen the movie, but let me just say this.

I hate how fantasy needs a chosen one to save the day. In this example its the Skywalker's. Why do we need such a powerful bloodline? Why does the force have to be so strong in them?

Why not have this Rey girl simply be FS, with no special parentage? Let her be kinda normal, then let her become great, not greatness handed to her.

I've just never really liked how fiction relies so heavily on a special someone to save them from the bad guys.

They wouldn't have mentioned her because I've heard that maybe if she was handed over to Kenobi, he changed her name to keep her safe. I've heard that her actual name may be Kira Skywalker.

Yet again, her name may have been changed, and they don't know who to tell, because her real name may be hidden. Maybe they are out there to tell her who her parents are, but they just don't know who she really is if her name is Kira Skywalker. But yes, it would be simple to have her as a Skywalker, because any Star Wars movie I've seen, there has been a Skywalker in the movie. In the Prequels for instance, you have Anakin and then Luke. Both Skywalkers. Now we have Rey. Maybe Skywalker???

The music is the big telltale to me. Every time she has an epiphany or a Jedi moment - after she touches the saber, when she grabs the saber out of the snow with the Force, when she does the Battle Meditation (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-For.../B014V6JIQK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453306182 tracks 11 (2 minutes in or so) and 20 (beginning, and 2 minutes in, very Luke-ish) - it plays the Luke/Twin Suns at Dusk music (see below). That could be argued as "Hope" music, but it is pretty much Luke's theme. Williams is very intentional about his musical themes and that is the biggest hint to me.

The girl was old enough when she was dropped off that she would have been recognised. That and if by some strange stupidity they didn't tell her because her name had changed how many girls on Jakku are abandoned by there parents, have the same colour hair and same colour eyes ASWELL as being the spitting image of someone else. Sorry if they knew who she was, they should of told her, and i don't see any way they wouldn't have know.

I'm still going with palatine's granddaughter.

Luke could never have had a child in secret and have given her to be raised by a man long since dead. If she is his daughter I'm done.

It looks like the music to which I referred above is also known as the "Force Theme", so it could be unrelated to Luke specifically. But in most of its uses in the films, it is attached to a Skywalker.

Kylo is part Skywalker.

So that can explain the music being played when a skywalker is around. At least if it was the grandchild of palpatine it would make sense that she had ridiculous control over the force.

I'd be surprised if it turned out to be true, but I kinda like the floating theory that Rey was created by the dark side of the Force by Luke the same way that Anakin was allegedly (though non-canonically) created by Plageus through a single mother without a father. Snoke turns out to be Plageus, and Luke has dabbled with the dark side to clone her from his hand or whatever. That way she has Skywalker DNA without being a daughter of Skywalker. It's an interesting fantasy if nothing else...

I personally think she's Lukes daughter. But I also heard how each actor's portrayal of accents was very specifically directed and that Rey's UK kinda accent hints towards her origin, which in my mind has no connection to Luke whatsoever - unless I'm missing something.

I just have to say though, regarding the disliking of "saviors" in fiction, I can totally get why you feel it's been overplayed and that it could be more personally stirring to have a heroine whom earns her stripes like every other jane and joe - but Star Wars, these trilogies, are about a specific group of characters; namely those centered around Skywalker. It would be totally uncharacteristic of the entire established Star Wars theme. So, it should be about a Skywalker imho. Though I really wish hollyweird would hurry up and make other star wars films with completely separate and original stories as there's pleeeeenty of material to do so. And I'd be perfectly content with the sole Skywalker heir in these current films being just Ben (half Solo). But Rey being one too is fine with me. Though being twins would make me gag lol.

Since Palpatine is Anakin's daddy, both your theory and Rae's can be true. :p

I thought it was Darth Plageus who made Annie Skywalker aka Hayden Christianson aka Oscar Performance.
