quote:
What's interesting to me is that Rey exhibits all the qualities I would expect from a child of Han and Leia, while Kylo is nothing like I would expect from the son of Han and Leia.
children often surprise and/or disappoint......
mine for example in a good way - while everyone else in the family is pretty much technical or a teacher or in medicine my two kids are artistic. one is a writer and the other is an actress. nobody else anywhere in our families went the artistic route.
sometimes the kids are a crazy combination that exhibit little of their parents.
anyway.....
I don't think the big mystery is who Rey's father is, I think it is who her mother is. And I think that will be the emotional story of conflict or showdown.
I mean you already have Kylo killing Han there is no redemption there....and we've perhaps foreseen an ultimate showdown between Rey and Kylo but what drives Rey? Saving her mother perhaps or revenge for her mother.....so who could that be? Capt. Phasma who was captured perhaps by Kylo and brainwashed into the FO. Perhaps Luke does not even know she is still alive. Otherwise I don't think you have some motivation for why Rey keeps fighting and going after Kylo she wasn't like Luke where she always wanted to join the fight she was just being chased and ended up fighting to survive here. Anyway, perhaps something happens where she discovers Phasma's identity and tries to rescue her and enlists Luke's help or training and he may be reluctant before but because it becomes personal he agrees.
We'll see, just a guess based on more than just what we are given at face value....there has to be storyline behind it to drive Rey (imho).
