I'm pretty sure it's this
What about the emperor though?

You mean Luke paired with the Emperor? That;s really wild, Jacobi.
There was no mother. Luke carried her, gave birth to her. I can't explain what happened.
No way.

George Lucas gave it away before the movie even came out when he asked JJ what happened Darth Vader's grandchildren.

i wouldn't go that far, there are even more uninteresting protagonists in other films but yeah she was certainly dull.
i'm only interested in her parentage because of the Luke or Obi Wan factor, don't give a damn about Rey. hopefully Poe and Kylo get greater sceentime in the next one.
Sounds like another spin-off!
But that's Luke/Mystery Woman or Han/Leia. That's what we've been arguing! There's no answer!

It's pretty typical of jedi masters to have a love child I guess. He probably used the force to wipe her memory of him being her father, since in the flashbacks she is clearly old enough to know who her own father is.
I'm sure they will reveal her mother through flashback scenes where mark hamill is CGI'd to look younger. It'll probably be a whore in a Tatooine brothel. Once Luke sensed the baby was force sensitive, I'm sure he stole Rey from the mother so he could train her at his Jedi Academy.

I think shes a reincarnation of Anakin.

R2D2, you sly dog, you.
That's only because they're usually played by Sam Worthington or Jai Courtney.
Oh god, now I'm imagining a Star Wars film with one of those two as a lead, and I may as well drink poison now.
Pretty much. Luke seems like the most obvious option – everyone I saw the movie with thought so – but then why even bother making a whole mystery of it? And is Luke really going to have an "I am your father" moment with Rey in the next film? Ugh.
"We abandon our children on desert planets. It's a Skywalker family tradition!"

haha. Worthington actually works as the stoic side-character, like in Hacksaw or Everest. if he was cast in Star Wars in a limited supporting role it would be fine. but damn what was Cameron thinking making him the lead in his big franchise.
oh well, Pandora was the selling point of that anyways.
maybe obi wan had some sperm frozen
Just like the whole Obi-Wan "Darth Vader killed your father."
I haven't seen this movie.

I think it being Luke is too easy a reveal. It'll probably be Han and Leia's daughter with some reveal that they thought she died in child birth (and maybe she did) but the force brought her back....

granddaughter. or immaculate conception through Obi-Wan's force ghost.
Anakin didn't have a father either...
They use the force, and have you noticed how much a lightsaber looks like a fleshlight?

that'd be super lame tho
"This is Obi Wans Grandaughter!" Yeah and the ugly sith dude(Forgot his name..lol) is Lukes brother. Why not just retcon in characters all over. Oh it turns out Poe was Hans half brother? Cool. Why not.
He needed to cause he's a day race user right?

If she considers the answer to have been in that movie, then following that logic, whatever in that movie hints at her parentage is the answer.
-The obvious first thing that comes to mind is the quote: "That lightsaber was Luke's, and his father's before him and now it calls to you!" Immediate, strong implied connection.
-The second obvious thing is that all she wanted throughout the years was to see her family again, and she repeatedly had dreams of Luke's island during this time.
-A third not quite as obvious hint is that Kylo Ren, who trained under Luke, has a peculiarly strong reaction to and interest in Rey even before meeting her and discovering her power. That could indicate a connection from his past.
People have wondered if those are red herrings because they're too obvious, but if Daisy is saying that the movie holds the answer in plain sight, then that means she is related to Luke for sure.
Or, at least she was intended to be when that movie was made. Rian Johnson could have made the decision to go another direction of course. It's fiction and it's still in-progress.

Who's the mom? Could they introduce this probably deceased love interest so suddenly?

VIII is done filming though
If Luke WASN'T her father and it was some unknown, then she would have never said that her parentage was revealed(if it was some rando)
That's a reference to the EU.

Luke the pappy. That ending scene is the awkward first meeting between a deadbeat dad and his daughter.

I'd like that ridiculous old 'leak' to come true, but that's more about her children than her parents.

The real reason why Kylo fell to the dark side. Sheer disgust at his mother and uncle fathering a child.
Can't wait to see the abyss of rage once he realizes that he got his ass beat by the half-sister that caused him to fall to the dark side in the first place.

Because she's a Solo. Han left everyone to do his own thing (presumably to split trails between he and Leia) and ma stayed with the resistance. She didnt want her to get involved with the movement knowing her brother, Kylo, was a whiny dickbag on the dark side.
Dad taking her under his wing when they reunited. Rey being crushed when dad gets killed. Mom being extra huggy with her when dad died.
Luke wouldn't leave her like her parents did.

of all options, the only one i don't accept as an option is obi-wan. that is just really off the wall. its in a really weird place of having no significance to rey at all while being only significant to the audience, but barely because it makes no sense.

Obi Wan's grand daughter is what I think. Clone Wars is still canon and Obi Wan had a love interest there.
