Rey is Phasma's daughter.

Abrams is a complete retard, so everything is possible. The guy thinks that the Death Ray of the Starkiller can somehow miraciously hit three planets in a different system within a matter of seconds after firing (and which are also in visual range to one another... hello Star Trek bullshit repeated times three this time), while the beam visually travels at sublight speed (and technically, should travel at about lightspeed).Zontar said:
Unless one wants to argue that Starkiller Base was built in the very same system, where those other three planets were located as well and nobody noticed it and ridiculed Leia and Co about their obvious observations, one has to assume that the stupidiest and most retarded thing can and will happen on a frequent basis in this series.
Well, let's be fair... It's Star Wars. A world where largest and most important battlestations get one fighter squadron as escort. A world, where said station waits for a moon to rise instead of just warping out at attack course or blowing up a planet it is covered with. A world, where are zero surveillance cameras on said station, but systems of which can be easily manipulated by a junk droid with zero access codes. A world where a small spacecraft not larger then a fighter jet can easily travel through half a galaxy just because and has no issues with fueling or jump distance limitations. A world where instead of publicating infringing recordings, political leaders completely ignore them. A world where FTL-communications are a common thing, and neither distance, nor any other means can severely break possibilities of intertellar holophone, except for - ONCE IN ALL HISTORY - a blockade fleet would do that. ... I can continue endlessly.Madner Kami said:
I think the idea of Phasma being Rey's mother would be interesting if only to introduce a compelling mother-daughter relationship into the universe. But honestly I'd prefer it if Finn and Rey were unrelated to any other characters, especially the Skywalkers. I know Star Wars is all about coincidences but going completely down the Lost route would just be tiresome, honestly.
No...Just...Just no.American Fox said:
Except Fett was handled with a lot more dignity. He was the main reason Han was captured, actually got to fight a bit in Episode 6, and was taken out by being almost literally blindsided and devoured by an ancient horror.Ezekiel said:
Phasma got jumped, was forced to shut down her own side's defenses, and was then thrown in the garbage.
Good lord, but the villains in that movie freaking SUCK!
Well it's a good thing that he has nothing to do with the franchise anymore, Rian Johnson is writing and directing the next one. Plus even J.J. would admit that its too easy to make her Luke's daughter, and plus what kind of sense does it make to just drop her off on a desert planet to be raised by morally dubious scavengers, and even if he did you'd think she would've said something about being Luke's daughter because I certainly knew my parents' names when I was 5-6 years old. Also if she were Han and Leia's daughter her reaction upon seeing the Millennium Falcon wouldn't have been "That ship's garbage" but "When this this fat bastard steal my dad's ship?" In conclusion she's not Luke or Han's daughter, nothing about her actions or any aspect of her character (besides the Force sensitivity) would suggest that she is related to either of them.Silentpony said:
I wouldn't call being taken out by a blind smuggler by accident, and falling into a creature to be digested for a 1000 years any more dignified of a defeat than being blindsided by a Wookie.Metalix Knightmare said:
I would say that Kylo Ren had a pretty good run, he killed one main character, nearly two, and was only defeated through group effort (Han's death emotionally effecting him, Chewie's shot to the spleen, Finn's shoulder graze and finally Rey's Force sensitivity giving her the edge needed to finish him off), definitely better than Vader's defeat in A New Hope in which he got taken out by his own incompetent wingman.Metalix Knightmare said:
Again, Fett was the primary reason Han was captured, got to fight in Ep6, and wasn't used to weaken the Empire. None of which applies to Phasma.
And Kylo Ren had a good run? The dude was fighting on near equal ground to an EX-STORMTROOPER! Injury or not, Finn should've been Sushi early in that fight!
Ren had only one real good scene. Stopping the blaster bolt. After that it was almost entirely downhill for him. Temper Tantrums, having his mind probe turned on him by a greenhorn Jedi, and in the end he had to be saved by the planet exploding. Ren makes me ashamed to play Sith in The Old Republic!
Also, Vader's wingman most likely saved him from getting blown up by Han in The Falcon. Either way, Vader still established himself better as a Badass in his first movie than Ren ever did. Freaking a, the man's second and fifth scenes had him strangling people effortlessly! (The first time with one hand and lifting the poor schmuck off the ground, the second time with his goddamn MIND just to make a point!)
Not to mention that until Han showed up, Vader was killing off pretty much every Rebel Fighter in his way, and was about to finish off Luke.

She says whoever Rey is waiting for on Jakku is never coming back. That could still be Luke, Leia, or any of a number of people who are never coming back to Jakku for her. In fact, Luke seemed happy to stay lost up until he was found. By Rey.American Fox said:
Hell, that doesn't actually have to be her parents, either.
I hope they have more of a plan than George Lucas did going in. Otherwise, it doesn't matter who you think Rey is, or who I think she is, because it probably hasn't been decided yet.American Fox said:
Plus, if we're doing the Star Wars parallels, Obi-Wan straight-up lied about Luke's parents (in continuity, anyway). So Maz could outright say that Rey's parents were dead and her father could still be Luke...from a certain point of view.
I'd say that is a ridiculous premise to conclude they are related, if it weren't for the fact that there have only been 3 black people to have ever been verified to exist in the Star Wars universe.AccursedTheory said:
Rationalizing in fiction is fun.
He's said that he liked the script enough that he wished he was directing it. That would be a strange thing to say, I would think, if he had direct control.MC1980 said:
Disney has a department set up with the sole purpose of controlling canon, something Lucas never did. I imagine that department is the one that makes the call on big plot points, like who's related. Abrams isn't a part of that, as far as I know, so I'm fairly certain he doesn't get to make shots like that.
I put this in the wrong thread initially, but BloatedGuppy has given me an opening to fix that!

Yeah I know what she said. I don't believe her. The resemblance between them is strong, Erso is the right age, has a similar accent, and probably more important than anything...why now? Why this story, at this time? Between episodes 7 and 8? It's kind of a random story, isn't it? Stealing the Death Star plans? Han Solo is a wildly popular character, so "Young Han Solo" makes some sense as a stand alone, but this?AccursedTheory said:
It's fishy, I tells ya.
