When the fullcastofStar Wars: The Force Awakenswas announced last April, fans wondered how new cast membersDaisy Ridley(Rey),John Boyega(Finn),Adam Driver(Kylo Ren) andOscar Isaac(Poe Dameron) fit into the story. Over the past year, their characters were eventually confirmed, and fans should learn much more about the highly-anticipated sequel atComic-Conthis year. While we wait for the annual convention to start, a new rumor fromMaking Star Warsreveals new details about Rey and the other main characters' parents. There will be potential spoilers below, so read on at your own risk.
There has been plenty of speculation that at least some of these characters are the offspring ofHan Solo(Harrison Ford),Princess Leia(Carrie Fisher) orLuke Skywalker(Mark Hamill). For instance, Rey is reportedly “drawn to” the Millennium Falcon and she “instinctively” knows how to repair it
“None of the heroes… the kids… are Solos or Skywalkers. Rey is not a Solo. It would not knock me on my knees to learn she is a Solo. VII does not answer that question. It just presents it. We have not seen anything to make us think the girl is the daughter… yet.”
