ST Kathy Kennedy specifically confirms sequel trilogy to be about next generation of Skywalker family

It really doesn't make any sense for Han to be raising Rey on Jakku all this time, since according to official TFA products, she literally has to collect and sell metal scraps just to get something to eat on Jakku. Quite honestly I think the whole point, regardless of whose child she is, is that Rey has had an insanely depressing and miserable life on Jakku.

 

Yup. Which is fine. Because the ST is going to be about how she escapes that misery and saves the galaxy.

 

Han doesn't know she exists, Leia thinks she's dead as does Luke or he's in no position (marooned) to do anything about it.

 

yup if Han knew that she was on Jakku you would think he would look after her himself whether his daughter/niece.
so I highly doubt Han is involved in her miserable situation and even him being near Jakku seem unrelated to her.

 

Even if Han and Leia thought Rey was dead, they'd still be able to recognize her, and nothing we've heard indicates that there's any recognition there at all. There's also the issue of Rey not recognizing THEM.

 

Rey and Leia don't actually meet until the penultimate scene of the movie and as there has not been any dialogue leaked any presumption that they don't recognise each other is absurd.

We can all play the edit game - What if Han left Leia and the crew before Rey was born? What if Kylo caused the rift between Han and Leia and Han thought it best if he disappeared to the other side of the GFFA? A year or so after he ups and leaves his niece is born...

 

Yeah. Honestly the problem with Rey Solo in TFA, from what we know of it, as far as Leia goes is that they only have one scene near the end of the film and the ending of the film is Rey finally meeting Luke. I think there'd be at least a little more interaction between the two of them (Rey and Leia) in the film if they were mother and daughter, whereas Luke's limited role in the film actually becomes a lot more meaningful if he's the father and it's Rey's search for him.

 

Well hopefully Luke is killed off in Episode VIII. We really don't need anymore members of the Skywalker bloodline. There is nothing wrong with it dying off after Luke.

 

Han might behave like a scoundrel at times, but he does have honor, and he wouldn't abandon Leia if he knew she was pregnant, even if their relationship was deteriorating.

Very little of what we've heard supports the idea that Rey is a Solo; it's as simple as that.

She could possibly be Leia's daughter, but there's no way she's Han's given what we've heard.

 

yeah it's like someone said on the new rumor thread days ago, Rey as Luke's daughter gives you both the micro and macro view on finding Luke which seems to be the focus of the movie. The micro is Rey's personal mission to find Luke which gives you the emotional/dramatic attachment which works best as a daughter trying to find her father and the macro one is both First Order and Resistance wanting to find him and both of these things intersect.

 

Jango_Fett21 You don't seem to have understood what I said;

Han leaves Leia, Luke and everyone when Kylo is about eight. The only person who goes with him is the 'loyal' Chewbacca. Luke's wife gives birth to Rey a short while later. Rey grows up never knowing Uncle Han.

 

also if you buy the whole Rey is Luke's daughter theory, why wouldn't Han and Leia take Rey in Ala Owen and Beru Lars or Bail and Breha Organa as she is their only niece.

 

only if they know of her existence or if they know she survived.

 

mattman8907 That all depends on who is where and when. Your scenario dictates that Luke separates from his daughter with Han and Leia still together and in contact with Rey. The likelihood of that scenario playing out is slim.

 

or where she was, if Luke had an Order we don't even know if H/L would even visit the place or it's even possible that neither knew where the Order was.

 

That's possible starocean90 but do you think Leia would give her Son to Luke in the same way that Anakin was given up by Shmi?

 

it's possible that's case, what if Luke wanted the Jedi to be secret until they are ready to be open so having almost no one know where they are could make sense. Luke is the only supposed Jedi by the end of VI which would mean most of the students would be noobs you need time and security to train that type, especially since we don't know when the Knights of Ren show up in the Galaxy. One day when Luke goes away on a mission, Kylo betrays them. Just speculating there are plenty of different possibilities that make sense that H/L never met Rey or almost never saw her heck maybe that's why she could be H/L without them recognizing her, still weird that parents wouldn't recognize their own daughter.

 

Oh Boy...

 

Yet KK confirmed that the ST will be a continuatoon of the Skywalker family, so this is not going to happen. If you want to see other characters than the Skywalkers, watch the Anthology films.

I thought it was the other way around?

 

no the rumors say the Lucas stuff was Solo kids and that JJ wanted Skywalker but who knows if it's true or if there really was a change to begin with.

 

I am not familiar with these rumors and I keep hearing about them? Where are they from? My understanding is Lucas' scripts centered on Skywalker grand children, but JJ wanted to make the original heroes more relevant in the story too. Is this what you are referring to or is it something else?

EDIT: Nvm saw earlier post. Could you please link to the Latino Review post that says this if you have it?

 

Who is to say that Han wasn't there with her the whole time? All we have is a Rumor that Han Solo doesn't know who she is; nothing actually confirmed. As far as the Falcon being on Jakku, and Han Solo in orbit above Jakku being a big coincidence, is BS if this is what J.J. has written. For me, Han Solo being Rey's Guardian on Jakku is the only thing that makes sense for him and Leia to be seperated, as well as the Falcon being on Jakku. If what you say is true then this puts Han Solo in a bad light, which is strange for someone like J.J. Abrams who is supposed to have a man crush for Han Solo, as a lot of Fans think.

 

well the point is that she's supposed to be solitary alone and plenty of stuff have described her as being alone/lonely having to trade scrap just to be able to eat. None of that sounds like Han knows she's on Jakku whether his daughter/niece otherwise why did he leave her to fend for herself on a planet full of danger and murderers. There are so many planets in SW why dump her on Jakku why not raise her yourself, both Han and Leia are active in the Galaxy, Luke on the other hand is MIA. Also like I said in the previous page

there are no coincidences in SW nor in biblical stories, it's called the force just like how in Episode IV, the droid just happens to explode just as he was bought by Owen or how the Lars needed to buy droids just as R2/3PO landed on Tatooine and were captured by the same people who were going to sell droids to the Lars.

Jakku seems to be filled with criminals/murderers/scum Han loses his ship to one of them makes sense that there are gangs on Jakku. In the Smuggler's Run one of the many gangs mentioned in the book by Han that are after him are the Guavians who seem to be on Jakku/Freighter from the toys "Guavian enforcer".

I think Han's role in VII is potentially similar role as Han in IV mixed in with Kenobi, in both cases
-he's on a desert planet (near it in VII's case)
-both he and the lead are in trouble. Han with Jabba/Greedo in IV/in VII you have the gangs that took the Falcon. Both Luke and Rey got a droid that possessed something the villains want
-meets the lead from the desert planet
-helps the lead from the desert planet
