Speculation Rey - The Chosen One

I am fairly convinced that the direction this whole story is heading is leading to Rey being 'The Chosen One.'

I haven't seen it discussed much, but a few events in TLJ lead me to believe this is the case.

Kylo Ren telling Rey that her parents were nobody, junkers from Jukku, but yet he signifies how important Rey is to him. I think he knows there is a lot more to Rey than that and I think for the story, Rey has to have more importance than that. It could even be possible that Rey has no birth parents, much like Annakin had no birth father. She was created by the force through the midi-chlorians as she is the chosen one. The fact that she has uncovered so much power, so quickly. Remember how much Luke struggled with using the force, but Rey is already using the force to connect with Ren, or to to move boulders to allow the rebels to escape, etc.

Now we see discussion abut Episode IX title, possibly having something to do with "Balance to the Force," which is a part of the prophecy of the Chosen One. Having this all come together would bring the story full-circle, back to the original prophecy.

Of course, it could just be that Kylo Ren moves forward as the antagonist from the dark side while Rey is the main protagonist and it just is another example that there will always be power on both sides, thus the balance of the force and the story is never finished. They may not have even decided which way to go, do they put a bow on it in Episode IX and give you all the answers, or does it show you that this will just go on forever? I'm not sure which route is a better "ending." But I am fairly convinced that if it is to have a firm ending where the Empire/First Order is eradicated from the galaxy it has to be with it being revealed that Rey is the Chosen One. JMO.
