I very much loved it when in TLJ Rey’s parentage is stated to be inconsequential.
Why the fuck did Rey have to be the long lost descendant of a previously established character? Why can’t she simply be Rey Nobody from Nowhere?
I completely agree and I resent J.J. for making that such a ridiculous mystery in TFA (before he retroactively tried to explain it badly). Doesn’t anyone remember the Jedi use to go around the galaxy adopting force sensitive children from parents who were not force sensitive or Jedi at all? It just would have been better storytelling to suggest the Force randomly taps individuals. Keep it “mysterious”.
