Reminder that Rey has CTE. Her parents dumped her on Jakku at 5/6/7 years old yet she doesn’t know who they are.
Except she does know who they are.
Clearly not, since those people in the flashback flew away, they didn’t die in a pauper’s grave in the Jakku desert.
I agree with you. Rian Johnson seems to have mistaken the audience’s curiosity about Rey’s parentage for a lack of such knowledge on Rey’s part. It kind of works but it’s a little weird.
