Theories of Rey’s lineage have been swirling since the theatrical release of The Force Awakens. From the theory that she is Luke’s daughter, a Kenobi offspring to the down right ludicrous. That she in fact is a reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker so is in fact Luke’s “father.” Another ludicrous one suggested was that Rey was born from an incestuous affair between Luke and Leia. A newer one also suggested that Poe Dameron could also share a lineage. Things have been so muddied at this point that its hard to discern what would even be viable anymore.
Aside from the outlandish theories, avid fan Stormtrooper Larry via Reddit there is a cryptic leak that involves the true origin of the Jedi being explained to Rey by both Luke and Yoda. The story involves an ancient tree which amplifies both the good and the bad sides of people (thus creating the light side and dark side of the force.) The most important thing to note of this supposed leak is that Luke is referring to Rey’s parents in such a way that kind of removes him from the equation as to being a possible candidate of being her father. It does bring into play the whole “chosen one” to bring balance to the force. While the authenticity of the leak is unclear and could be nothing more than fan fiction, it does give for an interesting read and theory.
One thing that supports this leak and gives it a bit of possible credibility is that there are photos of a giant bizarre tree that the crew has constructed at Longcross Studios for Episode VIII.
At this point it is safest to take a wait and see approach to any theories at this point, but what do you think? Does this “leak” seem to hold water?
