I just realized that the (non-) reveal of Rey’s parents begs for more edits to TFA. The one that sticks out to me is Rey and BB-8’s exchange:
“Classified? Me too, big secret.”
Yeah, that line is insulting now. I’m sure other “hints” need to be cut back now too, I’d have to rewatch TFA again though.
I think maybe cut when Han is about to tell Maz who’s the girl and the movie abruptly cuts “not to reveal the mystery”.
This might be a good idea. It probably was the most obvious nod to her being someone special in the Force Awakens.
Personally, I’m going to wait to see what happens with Episode 9. Abrams clearly had something in mind for Rey’s lineage, and now that he’s coming back, he might throw a curve ball and follow through with it. After all, as far as we know, Kylo Ren didn’t necessarily see Rey’s actual parents. Rey saw what she wanted, which was Kylo turning back to the light. Kylo saw what he wanted, which was a [potentially false] piece of information which he could use to convince Rey to join him.
Before we learn exactly how this story ends, I’m going to leave all allusions to her parentage in. That’s just my 2 cents though.
