She's a Palpatine.

Anakin had a higher midichlorian count though.
She's Luke and Leia's love child.

Its canon. we have to.
>>64032336
I never heard it
>>64032306
I've heard the British vs American accent is intentional. Like the actor who plays Finn adopted an American accent for the movie, suggesting that the accents matter
Palpatine had a baby with Jar Jar. This baby then had sex with Luke Skywalker, resulting in the higher midochlorian count ever.
You can see the shame in Luke's eyes, you know he got down some dirty business.
>>64032400
Makes sense. Still supports the Kenobi theory for me.

Oh sorry, I almost forgot. They're called

Why didn't Sheev just have a baby with Luke Skywalker?
>>64032306
You don't inherit your accent from your dead ancestors. You gain it from your surroundings. So even if she was a Palpatine, she wouldn't necessarily have his accent if she didn't grow up with/around him.
>>64032143
as far as theories goes this is my favorite, it would add another layer to Obi Wan, a committed Jedi that never faltered was able to have a kid without messing his Jedi duties
>>64032143
It was already revealed via Disney Infinity she's Luke's kid. Disney mad dashed to delete the trailer where you see Kylo Ren's toy fighting Rey's toy and calling her "cousin."
>/thread
>>64032523
I like to think that Obi Wan worried about the extinction of the Jedi. Especially after his padawan who turned evil just produced two children. Might have been a last hope move.
>>64032597
yes... that is fucking clear since forever.
We were talking about the mom of rey not luke being the father.
>>64032505
Oh fuck call the cops this guy gets it
>>64032597
source?
>>64032597
This is the most desperate grasp for straws I have ever seen on this board. If you believe Disney pulled the trailer to hide the big secret, I suppose you also think the game won't come out until Episode VIII or IX or whenever the movies reveal it themselves.
>>64032597
Proven wrong. He said "curses". Not cousin.
>>64032366
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they completely ignored midichlorians for this entire trilogy. It was a pointless, DBZ-tier power level asspull that any sane filmmaker will sweep under the rug, canon or not.

At 1:29 you have the "curses" alone when he takes damage
>>64034080

>>64032516
Simon Pegg's character has a similar accent.
Maybe it's just a Jakku accent?
Either way I really like the Palpatine theory.

Rey is Anakin's granddaughter and Luke's daughter. Holy shit it's so obvious, Disney isn't even trying to hide it, anyone who's paying attention would know this.
>>64032306
>>64032400
British accent is a Coruscanti accent in the SW universe. (Sauce: ROTS novelization) Make of that what you will.
>>64034335
So Luke's wife/fling could be from Cootersaunt.
>>64034289
"CURSES"
>>64034289
Unless she's actually the memory wiped murder-padawan from Luke's Jedi school. The lightsaber called her because it thirsts for the souls of younglings and requires a willing user to meet its needs. Luke was strong enough to avoid such manipulation.

Therefore literally the only person's daughter she could possibly be is Leia's.

>>64034682
>Reminder that Jedi can't have sex, retards.
Of course they can. Now, back when the jedi order existed, they weren't supposed to have families (arguably they could still have sex though). But that was just one of the many retarded things they jedi order did, like kidnap babies (even if they didn't call it kidnapping, that's what it was) to raise them as jedi.
There's no jedi order now. And you shouldn't expect them to follow the fucked up rules of the past.
>>64034631
According to Pablo Hidalgo, he's around 29 or 30.
>>64034682
they aren't allowed to love
they can still eff, just not form attachments that will distract them
this is all prequel era jedi anyway
>>64034682
Obi-wan was going to fug that Mandalorian lady.
>>64032143
She is Anakin
>>64034335
to be fair I think most of the citizens of Jakku spoke in a Coruscanti accent (british)
Lor (though he is swedish, his accent might be different than I remember) and the pawn shop guy did at least
I think Lor is ONE of her grandfather, he having Luke's piece AND being on Rey's planet is too much of a coincidence, he must have been there to keep an eye on her or whoever dropped her there must have done so for him to keep an eye on her
>>64034682
You have two options:
1. Ignore the prequels, problem solved.
2. Accept the prequels and this george lucas quote, "Jedi Knights aren't celibate - the thing that is forbidden is attachments - and possessive relationships."
>>64034843
she is the daughter of The Force and Darth Vader.
So she is Anakin's brother and his daughter as well.
Guys you know we're talking about JJ Abrams here, so there must be some form of time travel in the new trilogy. My bet is Rey somehow related to Anakin, taken from the past.
>>64034904
I think she is anakin reincarnated
>>64032143
I fucking hope she's not. The comics did this stupid thing where every single important event in the galaxy revolved around a handful of people and their offspring. I'd hate to see the movies go the same way.
>>64034990
obviously she travels back in time and becomes Shmi, right?
>>64035118
Star Wars revolves around the Skywalkers. That doesn't mean Rey is one, but that's the truth. George said it and Kathleen Kennedy still says it.

Midi chlorians could be an indicator rather than a cause. They could be micro-organisms that flood to high force dense regions.
>>64035249
I thought about it, but doenst make sense unless she gets her memory wiped and Anakin is not actually the son of the Force, instead she just doesnt remember his father. Shit.
>>64034606
The crystals inside them are connected to the Force. It's not a such big stretch. The EU had crystals that would only work with certain Jedi.

>>64032143
But Obi-Wan Kenobi never had any kids. Obi-Wan was a virgin.
Obi-Wan as her grandfather makes no sense. His power level was pretty mediocre, Rey must come from a more powerful lineage.

The movies never alluded to anything like this. Fuck off with EU shit, glorified fanfiction.

THAT'S A MAN BABY
>>64035397
He beat Anakin and the only reason he died was because he let himself get killed. How was Obi-wan mediocre?
>>64035559
Exactly. They were a perfect matchup
>>64035559
ObiWan was a great swordsman but I don't think he was that strong in the force.
>>64035625
the novelization of episode three literally says he gets all his saber skills from letting the force flow through him. if he's good with a lightsaber, he's strong in the force.
>>64035559
Anakin was super fucked up when they fought and died because of one dumb mistake. Obi-Wan was a great swordsman, but not a great Force user. Notice how casually Dooku dispatches him in RotS.
>>64035671
By the end, Anakin and Vader were equally matched.
Obi-Wan's experience won him the day.
>>64035671
Just rewatched it. Obi Wan gets tossed aside by two force push and 1 choke. Why couldn't Dooku use that on Anakin? Does it really have to do with force strengthen?
>>64035765
Anakin and Obi-Wan
>>64035784
Yeah, typo.
They both blow each other out with force push on mustafar after their twirling saberlock.
>>64032336
1 quarter midichlorian for you rey.
>>64034606
Standard D&D tradition: intelligent sword takes control of its user and make them buy it fancy jewelled scabbards. Why should lightsabres be any different?
The midichlorians got Leia pregnant and Han left her because of this.

>>64034682
what if the jedi jacked off into in dish and the woman was impregnanted with a turkey baster? its not sex
that timelines fucked, anakin spent ten years getting trained by obi after the battle of naboo
Nah op, Rey is Kylo Ren's daughter. The pottery of luke vs vader and rey vs kylo but with a progressive diversity casting.
>>64032232
higher than who? no one would have known palpatine's because no one knew he was a force user. He could be higher than anakin.
Obi-Wan was too good a Jedi
He was not going around having sex
>>64034826
So... you're saying that Luke got some with some random bitches and just left. Damn... Luke you sly dog you.
>>64034682
>Reminder that Jedi can't have sex, retards.
Jedi certainly can have sex. The old order didn't allow for commitment beyond the Order itself, but they weren't sworn to celibacy. But the old Order died with the Sack of the Temple.
Obi Wan is a virgin like all Jedi.
Only Sith and Leia fuck.
>>64037293
Fucks a girl with what? He was bionic from the torso down kek
That's not true, but his dick probably burned off.
>>64035773
Anakin has a lot more raw power than Obi-Wan, it's why Sidious wanted him after all. Dooku couldn't just casually overpower him like that.
>>64032143

several galaxies populated but half the characters are the same family
>>64032400
>the actor who plays Finn adopted an American accent for the movie, suggesting that the accents matter
Not even memeing, but im positive that they had him do that to appeal to the african american audience, who would label him as "not really black" and /drop/ the franchise if he had a posh british accent and not the ebonics ghetto tounge they are used to
>>64034289
That seems to be the direction they are taking, I just hope it's not true because it would be too obvious. Also I'm sick of everybody in Star Wars being related. The only way I'd be okay with her being somebody's relative is if that somebody was Sheev.
>>64042404
Do you know what a galaxy is?
>>64042404
Its a family story you dingus
>>64032400
They told Boyega to sound american so black americans would watch the movie
>>64032400
Pretty sure they made him speak American just cuz it fit his character better (which it does) and not for any kind of in-universe reason
>>64034335
Technically it's Imperial, if Old Republic is anything to go by. Ironically, Courscant was the seat of the Republic back then.
>>64032309
sounds like something you put in the pool to kill algae
>>64042907
which is sad, given that his natural accent is very nice
>>64032143
"What girl?"
Obviously Kylo knows Rey.
She's either a former Jedi Scholar, trained at the temple with Luke, or..I don't know.
Her weapon of choice, a spear, and the way she fights with a lightsaber might suggest she was already trained...maybe a dueal lightsaber, like Darth Maul?
Midichlorians and shit seems to be dropped since The Force sounds much more like a spiritual thing, so I'd rather not to talk about them.
Maybe Rey was trained as a Sith, or as a Jedi, but it's clear that her memories involve these two factions. My idea is that she was supposed to be raised by Luke but then something happened, Kylo went apeshit and then someone left her on jakku.
>>64032495

I like this - we can rank jedi by their 'dorklie numbers
>The Force Awakens
>The only thing that wakes up in the movies is R2 is a Jedi
I just want her to not be Luke's daughter. That is all. I'll accept any other twist on the character. Because as of right now, all signs point to her being Luke's kid. And that is a shallow reveal if we can spot it that easily.
>>64032244

Rey's name is fake. She took it from the X-Wing helmet on Jakku. Her real name is PADME SKYWALKER and she is Luke's daughter.

If Accents aren't genetic in the Star Wars Universe then why does every single Clone Trooper have the same accent as Jango? He couldn't have possibly spent enough time with 200,000 people to imprint an accent on them.
