Last year , Simon Pegg go on record book to sayAbrams had a different idea for Rey ’s parentsbefore Johnson started work onLast Jedi , but that ’s in all likelihood a arguable full point now . In the same interview where he first mentionedStar Wars 9adds more to the story , Abrams made a point to mention he"honored"whatThe Last Jedidid . So , at least for now , there does n’t appear to be any major franchise - alter retcons in order ( i.e. Rey being Luke ’s alienated girl orHan Solo ’s lovechild ) . Perhaps Abrams is simply going to flesh out the backstory of those aforementioned junk traders and savvy deep into why they gave up on Rey so early on and what hap to them afterwards .

AfterThe Last Jediseemingly answered the question about Rey ’s parentage , some viewers might prefer if Abrams just left this subject alone and have it be . However , it ’s best not to rush to judgment right now . As long as what Abrams came up with stays on-key toThe Last Jediand fits organically into the tale , things should be fine . All fans can do is sit around and wait untilThe Rise of Skywalkeropens in theaters afterward this year .
