Despite Rian Johnson attempting to shut down any further debate on Rey's origins in the previous film, most fans didn't buy Kylo Ren's assured proclamation that Rey came from a couple of anonymous, drunk desert-dwellers. After all, Star Wars is a story about family and generations and making our hero for a new age someone completely unrelated to the previous heroes? Seems a bit odd. But, it's 2019 and we've got new sensibilities and Star Wars' source materials (The Hero With a Thousand Faces) are a bit out of date at this point. So, our options are Rey could be a Skywalker — she had a strong connection to Leia and regarded Han as a father figure — or she also could be something else entirely.
