Which is why I still think that when JJ returns he gives Rey a Skywalker parent.No, I’d just drop it. You went into TLJ with that baggage and preconceptions, and it didn’t pan out. Rey is ‘Rey Random’. I’d just drop it.
ps. some kids didn’t believe - or didn’t want to believe - Darth Vader when he told Luke that he was his father in ESB too.
While I have no problem with Rey’s parents being nobodies, I do think with JJ coming back there is at least a possibility he could flip it around on us again. Even Rian said the answer to Rey’s parentage will ultimately be up to JJ. In terms of the truth of that revelation, Rian said it was an emotionally honest revelation from Kylo. That is what Kylo saw in his vision and he is being honest with Rey. But consider that Rey also had an emotionally honest revelation- her vision of Kylo turning back to the light, and she was wrong, so perhaps he was too.
Again, I have no strong feelings about it either way, but the next movie will ultimately decide whether to keep her parents as drunk nobodies or mark her place in history as the descendent of (insert any known character here). Nothing is set in stone just yet.
