A Unique Dialogue on the Possibility That Rey Is a Skywalker
Rey theories are a constant source of contention for Star Wars fans (and Lucasfilm employees if my Twitter feed is any indication). If Rey is a Skywalker, is this how that revelation might play out?
Honestly I haven’t seen as much Rey talk lately but that’s probably because we’re in the throws of Rogue One but the theories have previously led me to tweet:
Open letter to reporters:

Is Rey Rey's mother? #starwars #deepthoughts pic.twitter.com/FuOpS0aXx7

Anyway, I think this video somewhat accurately represents why Rey being a Skywalker would be a strange story decision. What do you think?
(via Laughing Squid)
This so excellent xD
I certainly hope Rey isn’t a Skywalker though.
I mean there is a certain amount of symmetry for Rey to be Luke’s daughter. But Kylo’s angst over being the heir to Vader doesn’t make sense if there is another contender. And I understand why some people can get frustrated with how claustrophobic the universe is if EVERYONE IS A SECRET SKYWALKER
But I WANT Rey to be IMPORTANT. And not just “Oh, she’s a powerful Jedi and the main character.” I want her parents to be someone we’ve met or heard of. (So yes, I’m a bit of a fan of the theory that Jyn Erso is her mother, but realize that’s more likely just a problem with casting)

Who is this wonderful person with her hilarious videos?
I prefer the Rey Palpatine theory…it’s narratively fun. But…probably not gonna be the thing.
Still, though. They made such a big deal about her name being just “Rey” that I’d be shocked if her last name wasn’t one we’ve heard before. Rey Calrissian? Rey D2?
I’m pretty sure Rey’s not her real name. That helmet she had at her AT-AT home had the name of its original owner written on the side–a name she would have been intimately familiar with from when she played at being a pilot as a kid and easily the first thing to spring to mind when a guy you don’t trust yet asks who you are: Ræh.
…REALLY?

Why isn’t this trending forever!?
Because not many people can read Aurebesh? Or scruitinized every detail of the Force Awakens Visual Dictionary? ;) Honestly it’s just a fan theory, in reality the text was probably something a prop guy put on the helmet as a joke and then the dictionary writer had to come up with some backstory to fit. An intriguing idea, but I feel like it goes a bit too deep to be a foreshadowy Easter egg.
Maybe. I still like the Palpatine theory…and this girl/woman/teenager/person’s Youtube videos! They’re so low key, but funny and critical.
*mind blown*
How long has she been doing these videos, because she seems to have come out of nowhere and is everywhere all of a sudden. She’s amazing.
Near as I can tell, not that long. She’s only got 7 or 8 spoken word, but they’re all pretty smart/funny. I don’t think she expected to blow up like she has, so…we’ll see what happens.
I still like the theory that Rey’s an X-23 style clone from Luke’s hand. It would at least mean Luke’s not a deadbeat dad. Then again Han evidently failed as both a father and husband and Leia never even tried to live up to her Jedi potential, so why shouldn’t our third main character be a disappointment as well? https://m.popkey.co/3abe4e/gKD5J.gif
