    I think it'd really depend on whether or not Daisy remembers Luke, as well as how much truth there is in the Darth Luke rumors. It could easily be that Daisy is very well aware of who her father is, she just doesn't know what happened to him and wants to find out the truth.

    I just think that Daisy's Character being hidden from Luke, and being raised by Aunt Leia and Uncle Han, is too much like Luke's situation in the OT; whether or not Luke turns to the Dark Side. Of course she certainly could be Luke's daughter, but I personally do not believe the Cyborg Sith Luke rumor at all.

    It could be, but again, it really depends on how the idea is handled. Since it seems rather likely that Luke will end up instructing 'Kira' in the ways of the Force to some extent, if he is her father, they could actually provide an inverse of the relationship that Luke had with Vader. 'Kira' could learn under her father, sure, but more importantly she could also have this emotionally complex and ever-evolving relationship with him over the course of the trilogy too.

    One thing I always point out when writing about Luke's first bout with Vader in TESB is how Luke's Achilles Heel is the subject of his father. It's the underlying element to Luke's character throughout the entire trilogy. He wants to follow in his dad's footsteps. Contrast that with 'Kira' wanting to find her dad and then upon finding him again, the emotional journey she has to go through isn't necessarily a duel over Good and Evil/trying to sway her father back to the Light, but instead an attempt to try and understand how things happened the way they did. Why did Luke leave her? How much has he changed from how she might remember him in the time that he's been gone?

    I dunno, I hadn't really thought too much about 'Kira' being Luke's daughter until now, but the more I think about it, the more I think there might be a bit more dramatic potential to work with if she is Luke's daughter than if she's Han and Leia's child. I could certainly be wrong, but I'm really liking this new discussion of "What if she's Luke's daughter?" and where it's going...

    Still hoping that Domhnall Gleeson is a Skywalker and Daisy Ridley is a Solo.

    Definitely this x100.

    I could see Isaac or Driver being a Solo son in addition to Ridley, but I don't think they'll both be Solos, unless Ridley is a Skywalker, because the son/son/daughter dynamic might be too much of a repeat of the EU for some. Me personally, I wouldn't mind, but I don't see them doing it. Now, if Ridley is Luke's daughter, then I could see Isaac and Driver both being Solos. But honestly, I'd prefer Isaac as an unrelated factor on the good side, whether military or freelance. Driver, I can take or leave as a Solo. If the rumors of him being an aristocrat collecting Sith artifacts are true, then I don't think it's likely. But only time will tell.

    And Gleeson–Gleeson, I'm still hoping is Luke's (non-dark-side-cyborg) son. I do think the idea of him not being Force sensitive despite his father's, aunt's, and likely cousin's Force ability could be a good plot point, similar to Theron Shan from SWTOR. He was from a long lineage of Jedi, but he was not Force sensitive in the slightest–perhaps he got it from his father, who was a Republic soldier. Maybe Luke's wife was a non-Force-sensitive? Now, I'm not saying I want Gleeson to be a non-Jedi (in fact, if it were up to me he would be a Jedi), but I could grow to like the non-Force-user-surrounded-by-family-of-Force-users plotline very quickly if they used it right. It could drive him to excel. Maybe he's an amazing lightsaber fighter in spite of his lack of Force ability? Or maybe he's an expert marksman?

    Watch this, and Girls, and tell me Driver wouldn't be the best candidate for main ST villain.

    Yes. I believe the Skywalker bloodline will be a key element in the ST.

    Here's my new Theory after ROTJ instead of starting a new Jedi Order Luke decided to use the Sith Rule of two. After finding a force sensitive orphan (Daisy Ridley) the pair wandered the galaxy helping those in need and Luke teaching his apprentice (explaining why Luke has been missing). Shortly before (18 months maybe) the events of Episode VII they have a disagreement and go there separate ways , Daisy ending up on Tatooine and Luke on Skellig.
    This would be an easy premise to set up in only a few lines of dialogue and could even be explained in the opening crawl

    I say yes because that still makes the most narrative sense to me. If I'm wrong then oh well.

    Basically, this is my position (see my vote) and I've never really seriously entertained the notion that the next generation of main protagonist Star Wars heroes will not be a Skywalker/Solo.

    Then the question becomes mired in whether it's Luke or Leia and Han's offspring. I don't want everyone to be related, but I like the idea of siblings and cousins. Looking forward to answers to these questions.

    I also like the idea of cousins and siblings (family) as it is something we've never seen before in Star Wars (Luke and Leia don't count as they don't find out that they are related until the last movie and there is barely any interaction between the 2 as Brother/Sister).;)

    I've been treating the notion of Daisy's character being a Solo or Skywalker more skeptically lately, since there have been conflicting reports on the matter. I naturally assumed she'd be related to the Skywalker family when she was first cast and whenever I don't really think hard about it, I continue to naturally assume that. Now my thoughts seem to be shifting more towards whether or not she's a Solor or a Skywalker in particular, leaning/hoping towards her being Luke's daughter.

    I don't think Daisy's character will be a Solo. Why would she be living in a desert with a crashed AT-AT as a home if she was a Solo? I don't think she's a Skywalker, either.

    I do agree with your questioning on how she could be a Solo under those circumstances, though there could be some sort of explanation for it, but I do think she's probably a member of the family. I can easily see her being Luke's daughter though.

    Kira (or whatever they call her)"No-I am your daughter!!!"

    Luke: "That's not true! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"

    Kira: "Well, no, you see when a boy Jedi and a girl Jedi really, really like one another, they join their midichlorians, and...."

    I voted yes-holding on to whatever hope I can conjure in this barren wasteland of news that Daisy IS a Solo. It seems more and more that people are thinking this is not the case, but I will still hold stubbornly on to that until Disney/LFL proves me wrong!! [face_plain]

    [face_not_talking] So there.

    In that case why did Luke grow up on a backwater desert planet? I think you may have just answered your own question. ;)

    Having said that, I've a hunch she knows exactly who she is, and if Luke is missing, she's there as a result. Like I said, a hunch.

    I like the symbolism of Kira living inside the belly of a crashed AT-AT. It's like Jonah inside the belly of the Whale or a transforming caterpillar going through metamorphosis inside the cocoon. Kira is getting ready to be born. Very Lucasian. Hopefully it survived the concept phase and is part of the film. I'm betting she's Luke's daughter, too.

    Who says she is living in an AT-AT on Tatooine? It is nothing but a rumor so. I don't see it in the artwork either. Daisy's Character being a Solo is still my bet. ;)
