Star Wars Theories - CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!!! Enter at your own risk.

Thought I'd start a new thread so I can talk about some of this stuff.

So Luke's missing lightsaber is blue which was supposedly lost when his arm was cut off. Maz says "it's a story for a different time" for how she came up with it.

Rey had a strong connection to that lightsaber which included many flashbacks. Could she be, dare I say it, the reincarnation of Anakin who was the true owner of that lightsaber?

Or, clone technology has come a long way. Perhaps, someone took luke's arm and cloned him?

I have a hard time believing she could be Luke's daughter,

 

I initially thought she was Luke's daughter but now I think that she's his niece. I think she is either Kylo's twin or younger sister. I think that maybe when Han and Kylo had their falling out and Han left that maybe at that time Leia was pregnant with Rey and that's why Han didn't know who she was but it would explain why she could fly the Falcon so good and if she was related to Luke she also could be a great pilot. The reason I thought she might have been Luke's is because R2 woke up when she came around and I think that's because he sensed Luke.

 

Leia didn't seem to recognize her. So I'm not sure that's it. R2 waking up could be because of the light saber? Also the voice over we heard when she was left on the planet wasn't recognizable.

Another thing I was thinking about was that Jedi Temple and Luke's mission to train other would be Jedis. Perhaps she used to be a student of Luke's and her memory wiped to keep her safe. When Kylo was looking through her brain he saw a small island. That's exactly where the Jedi temple was. Why would that be in her head? hmmmmm

 

That's a good assesment @Ray D . I didn't buy that she could be Luke's daughter because he is a Jedi after all and aren't they supposed to refrain from marriage/love/hate... ? Although, Luke was trained much later in life and may not have received the full training from Yoda. He may be operating off a different set of rules.

Your argument for her being his daughter does hold a lot of weight but yeah I can be lumped into that category that it would just be too easy.

I'm going to stick with my initial theory for now that she may be the second coming or the reincarnation of the "the one" molded by the force itself trying to right the wrong of Anakin. Her powers, if untrained, easily rivals that of Luke similar to how easy it came to Anakin. But who knows! LOL

 

Yeah I noticed the musical theme as well. I initially felt that she was absolutely Luke's daughter because of how obvious it seemed. I think he could have definitely have repressed her memories. He could have also repressed Han's but Han knew that "all the stories" about him were true. I do think that it was Obi-Wan's family that might have had the missing piece of the map that Poe was looking for though. I just have a hard time believing that Kylo's name and Alec Guiness' voice in the vision scene are the only references to Obi-Wan that this series is gonna have. I also won't be surprised if Fynn winds up related to Mace Windu or Lando just for continuity's sake. Not that I think they are but just that I won't be surprised if they turn out to be.

 

I realize that Disney threw the whole extended universe out of the window, but in those stories, Luke did get married to another jedi named Mara Jade, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities.

 

Yeah I'm also hoping that they find a way to bring back Boba Fett since he was resurrected in the EU as well.

 

Leia and Rey had a very long (mother/daughter or auntie/niece) hug.

 

Can someone answer me this? Anakin was originally prophesied as the one to bring balance to the force. Yoda later did say that they may have read the prophesy wrong. Did in fact anakin bring balance to the force by either:
a. Killing off all the Jedi children thereby settling the score since the Jedi's were ruling for over 1,000 years.
b. Darth Vader killing the Emperor
c. The balance was never restored

That may help figure out what Ray's place is in all this.

 

Vader brought it by killing Palpatine but Luke also brought it by arousing the good in Vader. That's the way I've always seen it. I really think that Luke is the savior of the galaxy in the grand scheme of things.

 

That's, for the most part, the way I've always seen it.
