Where you see bread crumbs I see tiny red herrings.. The new books have strongly ruled out her being a Solo and you really need to do some mental gymnastiques to make her a Skywalker unless you assume he has no knowledge of her whatsoever as in Bloodline his Academy or whatever is still fine, he and Ben are out searching the galaxy together, Rey is already alone in Jakku. It would be VERY difficult to explain a backstory for Rey being Luke's daughter to audiences in the next two films in a satisfying and efficient narrative.
Maybe she's like Anakin...
Shmi Skywalker: There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened.
Maybe Rey is another immaculate force conception?

I couldn't agree with you more... but it happened. Just like midichlorians.
It did happen but I think GL himself walked back on that in the Clone Wars especially the Mortis and Yoda episodes.

Isn't that the same mixture Hamlet's mother used on her husband?

Yeah i think because her husband was full of midiwhatians :lol
Let's see... Rey's 19 at the time of TFA, which is 30 years after RTOJ. So she was born roughly 11 years after ROTJ. JJ has been spectacularly JJ-esque in non-answering whether either of Rey's parents is someone we already know about, or a new character for TFA. Even accounting for interpreting how he said we may or may not have seen one or both of her parents in TFA without anyone knowing that's who they were... Cue headache.
So if it was anyone we know from the OT, they'd be in their mid-30s to mid-40s when she was born. I'll include Sabine and Ezra in that, since that's some of the fan speculation I've seen. While that is possible, I don't know how much stock I'd place in people knowing each other through the war and not having a kid until a good decade after the Empire surrendered... I imagine fertility problems are less of an issue with their advanced medical tech available, so any delays would be due to the individuals. So those 'shipping Ezra and Sabine to get Rey should probably take a step back. They'd known each other for a good two decades by that point -- if they're both still alive by that point, that is.
I will be very surprised if it's anyone we know from earlier in the saga than TFA, but I'm prepared to be wrong. I'm hoping it isn't too contrived, whatever it turns out to be -- like, what if Rey's mother was the aide Leia sent to Hosnian Prime who the camera focused on right before the planet was destroyed? That'd be raw.

Shmi got hammered and slept with half the town, she just didn't want to admit it so she made up some BS story.
Agreed
Also there already is a guy in the force awakens with a rubber hose up his nose. Its disgusting. He is behind Han when he comes out of Maz Kanatas Place to see the First Order weapon wipe out the republic.
The aliens in the force awakens in the most poor disgusting and disturbing. Nothing cool like the cantina.

Really ?? I thought they looked alright in TFA.. I liked the touch of having the hassk thug be a nod to the ever elusive to find wolfman from the OT... I think they pulled it off...
Definitely not poorly done...
That is your opinion and everyone gladly has their own. Mine is they are not star wars and more star trek/doctor who. Take a good look at them. They are disgusting and disturbing in a bad way. Not in a good way like the original Mos Eisley Cantina.
The Star Wars Cantina Aliens were cool and left people wondering who they were and what their stories were. The Force Awakens aliens needed to be off screen as soon as possible they were that bad.
Wait I forgot about Sidan Ithano and his 1st mate as well as the female droid but that was it and as I started the sentence with I forgot them so they were easy to forget.
The omitting of the Shistavanan Wolfman Lak Sivrak was not cool with us who enjoyed him in the OT. Lucas replaced him with a beanie hat wearing lizard. Even that alien was 100% better than this garbage abrams gave the people in TFA.
The hassk thug looked like a drugged out giant lemur.
To each his own.

To each their own indeed :thumbsup
I hope ep 8 has some up to par aliens in it for you \m/
Or at least some ones that look sober and not so drugged up...
Meth wolf :lol
Well to be fair the cantina was just a collection of whatever Rick Baker masks were lying around his shop repurposed for ANH. Maybe that's why people connected with them so well as they were kind of familiar from the horror genre or maybe it's just nostalgia because they were a first in films. That scene was entirely unique at the time, tough to capture lightening in a bottle.
