Where was it ever implied in TFA that Rey didn’t actually know who her parents were? She thought they were still coming back when they weren’t but a child that young can remember their parents’ names and what they did.

don't worry, JJ'll give us some unsatisfying retcon about how Kylo clouded her memories or something.

Dude just turn your brain off lmao don't be such a nerd.

God fucking forbid they make me happy and make her mom a spaceship or some wacky shit

Why would she even assume that her parents are anything other than poor traders? Like what kind of important people abandon their child on some shitty sand planet?

It's a funny thing, Rian made so many insanely awful decisions, it almost makes me interested to see how JJ is going to tackle them,

Almost

Theories were saying it was because she was super powerful and should be hidden like Luke was. That way, if the First Order caught Luke, she could still be rescued by someone, maybe Maz. It was contrived but it could have worked.
Jakku is apparently really important in the Disney EU as well, being some huge Dark Side nexus Palpatine was aware of, the site of an Imperial “observatory,” and where the final battle between the Rebels and the Empire happened. But Rey and Luke just say it’s nowhere.
How is this shit not quality controlled?

Dude it
This. Op demands logic in a movie with fucking lasers??

Yeah it seems strange that it was the location for a major battle (at least big enough that there's decades of scrapping being done) but it's still "nowhere."

I get that it's out of the way, but it had to have at least some importance of some sort. Like a strategic location maybe. I don't know. I just know that I've never heard of places like Midway being referred to as "nowhere."

the script was written from the point of view of fans, no characters

>Theories were saying it was because she was super powerful and should be hidden like Luke was.

Since when was Luke hidden because he was super powerful? Was he even hidden at all? Pretty sure being sent to your closest living relatives is not being hidden. Pretty sure he wasn't super powerful as a 15 minute old baby when the decision was made either.

The fact that she can use the force as well as she can/has some kind of force-related destiny according to Maz/Snoke/her vision/the lightsaber choosing her/Kenobi calling out to her

What?
He was hidden away as a baby and again when he went into exile.

I can’t tell if this is satire or not.
Seriously. Even if it had been absolutely nowhere before, people would remember the name because of the battle taking place there.

JJ completely approved the idea, and has always hinted her parents would be nobodies, even as far back as 2015:

>For me when I heard Obi-Wan say that the Force surrounds us and binds us all together, there was no judgement about who you were. This was something that we could all access. Being strong with the Force didn’t mean something scientific, it meant something spiritual. It meant someone who could believe, someone who could reach down to the depths of your feelings and follow this primal energy that was flowing through all of us. I mean, that’s what was said in that first film! And there I am sitting in the theater at almost 11 years old and that was a powerful notion. And I think this is what your point was, we would like to believe that when shit gets serious, that you could harness that Force I was told surrounds not just some of us but every living thing. And so, I really feel like the assumption that any character needs to have inherited a certain number of midi-chlorians or needs to be part of a bloodline. It’s not that I don’t believe that as part of the canon, I’m just saying that at 11 years old, that wasn’t where my heart was. And so I respect and adhere to the canon but I also say that the Force has always seemed to me to be more inclusive and stronger than that.

How did JJ miss the point so badly? The Force is in all living things but the OT and Prequels very much were based around being a strong force user as a genetic trait.

Is he just a commie or what?

Oh please
That fits. Where is it ever implied she does know her parents?

Were they really saying it was so genetic? Anakin’s kids had the Force but he was a kind of special case. They also seemed about as strong as he was despite having a normie mother and a normal birth.
All the other Jedi aren’t implied to have come from particularly special families either.

He wasn't hidden away at all. Luke and Leia where split up but that's not being hidden. You really think nobody in the Empire would think to check if he might be at his aunts house?

Why are Anakin's kids special cases? Everyone in the know seemed to be pretty sure about their abilities just by who they were. Especially when it's revealed that Leia is Luke's sister. Her force powers are just considered a given. Ben even in the new series is just assumed to have great force potential and becomes Luke's most powerful student.

All the OT and prequel dialogue about it very heavily implies that your potential is inherited and literally nothing at all at any point in any of the movies implies that just anyone can become a force user or equal or greater potential just because.

Plus if anyone could become a force user, why doesn't everyone do it? Or at least, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more people? You'd think parents would be pushing that shit hard on their kids all the time so they have a massive advantage in life.

Anakin was a special case. Guy is literally starwars jesus being conceived by the force. I also wouldn't say leia is very strong in the force either. All she did was sense some shit and be Superman one time.

Can just anyone else do what Leia did? And what makes Anakin's line a special case when it comes to genetics? Why are you saying his children are an exception when nobody else in the Star Wars universe viewed it that way?

Anakin is special in terms of power but the way his kids inherent his power is entirely expected by everyone who is aware of it. It's not a special case unless you can find something saying it is. The Emperor himself in ESB was very particular in saying "the son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi."

She always knew, she was deluding herself and went all PSTD with it until Ben forced her to face it.

Her hole persona is built on a delusion, she is selfless to the point she refused to see that her parents abandoned her like a piece of junk...for drinking money.

In the end she holds on to it, she accepts the delusion and comes to terms with who she is.

And Ben is the only one who knows this.

>your not alone
>neither are you

This was the "I know" of this trilogy all along bros.

will there ever be a film that covers the story of cunny rey?

>You really think nobody in the Empire would think to check if he might be at his aunts house?

cunt, are you fucking stupid? It wasn't Luke's real aunt. He was given to a random household on a random sand desert. He calls them Aunt/Uncle, likely because they said that's their relation when he grew old enough to start asking questions about his origin. They aren't blood related the empire has no way of knowing that random bum fuck shit hole dwellers are harbouring the son of Darth Vader.

Did you actually think the people raising Luke were blood related? as in his Aunt was Darth Vaders sister? as in, the boy who was born out of virgin birth with no siblings, developed a sibling? fuck me kid, kill yourself.

It's actually the closest planet to Coruscant. Not even Outer Rim.

Aunt Beru was Anakin's step sister.

This is the most embarrassing thing I have read all week.

even though midway was a major battle, it’s still the middle of fucking nowhere in the pacific ocean.

well if we learned anything from TLJ, reys parents will be a double bluff and turn out to be some decendants of palpatine/padme if soylo does well if not who the fuck knows

>ywn feed cunny cummies
;_;

>Cantonica is literally extra-galactic
>Finn and Rose go there and back before the First Order Fleet can overtake what's left of the Resistance

>how do you go from this
