Do people honestly think that Rian Johnson is going to use an EU character as a plot point in the new main trilogy movies?Well, as I said I don’t think he will, and I don’t think it would even be necessary if Rey was blood-related to Kenobi to show this in the movie (it would be explained in a comic book), I was just trying to use the official canon to see if this idea could find some kind of an explaination somewhere. To my view, Rey is not a Kenobi, and I hope she’s not a Skywalker either (even if she’s probably going to be related to Luke or Leia… or Snoke ?).
Oh I wasn’t pointing the finger at you, I was referring to fans in general who seem to be live this.
I just find these speculations so fascinating. A lot if fans really do seem to forget that these are movies, and behave as if they were real historical events. I understand the need for lore continuity, but they seem to overlook how convoluted these plots would be if the writers had followed their logic.
That’s why I like this forum, people here treat them as works of fiction.
