There are a few theories about Rey’s origin: She’s a Skywalker, She’s a Kenobi, she’s Han and Leia’s daughter, she was made, like Anakin, by the Force. While these are all very Star Wars-y, I have another idea. I am guessing she is the daughter of someone we haven’t met, yet.
I’m guessing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story we will get to see Rey’s parents. Maybe one, or both, were Force-sensitive, but never knew because a Kenobi-type character never came along to tell them.
The Jedi themselves didn’t have children, forbidden to, apparently. (I have another theory about why, which I’ll post later) So, Force-sensitive children could be born of non-Force-sensitive parents, and never know.
The characters’ names in Rogue One haven’t been revealed, yet. Why the big secret? Not that revealing names would give away anything because Rey doesn’t have a last name. In any case…
drumroll….
My theory: These are Rey’s parents.
Bonus theory: Are these the same characters from the comic Star Wars: Shattered Empire? The ones named Shara Bey and Kes Dameron? That would make Poe and Rey brother and sister!
It’s interesting to note that Rey and Poe are never shown meeting each other in TFA.
This would totally make sense since Diego Luna is latino too, just as Oscar Isaac (Poe) and Felicity Jones is british just as Daisy Ridley (Rey).
POE AND REY COULD TOTALLY BE SIBLINGS AND DIEGO AND FELICITY COULD TOTALLY BE SHARA BEY AND KES DAMERON!
