Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Rumor Might Reveal Rey’s Actual Father
In 2017’s Star Wars: The Final Jedi, Rian Johson shocked us all when it got here to Rey’s parentage with the revelation that they have been, the truth is, “no one,” or as Kylo Ren put it, they have been simply “filthy junk merchants” who bought her in an effort to get some consuming cash. However with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker attributable to drop later this 12 months, director J.J. Abrams has already teased that he’ll revisit the plot thread, and plans to someway increase on the twist.
What precisely he’s bought in retailer for us stays to be seen, however a juicy new rumor doing the rounds could’ve let the cat out of the bag. You see, over on Making Star Wars’ Patreon podcast, the outlet claims that Rey’s father is definitely none apart from Han Solo. However her mom isn’t Leia, as Han had an affair with one other girl.
Right here’s how one of many podcast’s listeners on Reddit broke it down for individuals who weren’t in a position to tune in for themselves:
Rey is Han Solo’s daughter. However she isn’t Leia Organa’s daughter–and subsequently isn’t a Skywalker. Leia and Han have been estranged when she started coaching with Luke.

If true, this might clarify a couple of issues. For one, being half-siblings would possibly clarify Kylo and Rey’s connection that they share with each other, whereas Han being Rey’s father would additionally clarify her piloting talents. And as for Kylo telling Rey her mother and father have been nobodies, properly, maybe he was referring to her adoptive mother and father and never her actual ones?
In any case, we’ll be submitting this one firmly within the rumor cupboard for now, however it’ll actually be attention-grabbing to see what Abrams has deliberate and if he can proceed to discover the character’s roots with out watering down the message of The Final Jedi. Whereas the common-or-garden origins of Rey would possibly’ve gone in opposition to the franchise’s outdated mentality that being an awesome hero was a matter of profitable the delivery lottery, making Han Solo her father and revealing that he had an affair whereas married to Leia won’t be the most effective route to go down in Episode IX, for quite a few causes which we received’t get into proper now.
Both method, although, we’ll discover out quickly sufficient who Rey’s actual mother and father are, as on December 20th, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker lights up theaters internationally and can carry an finish to the Skywalker Saga.
