WhenStar Wars : The acclivity of Skywalker ’s titlewas revealed , the theory of Rey ’s possible bloodline jump up all over again . But whoever Rey ends up have for parents , fans can be indisputable of one thing : Han Soloisn’ther father .

From a certain point of view , the filmmakers only have theStar Warsfilms to blame for the emphasis on Rey ’s secret parent . And with reputation claiming thatCarrie Fisher will return in Star Wars 9 , whether in re - purposed footage fromThe Force Awakens , or using digital effects , the implication is that her story like that of the Skywalker family is n’t over just yet . So with small support for the theory that Leia lied to Rey about being her mother , a Modern theory has awakened . Rey is Han Solo ’s daughter … he just did n’t have her with Leia .

It ’s a juicy bit of gossip , andwould make Rey a Skywalker(only through man and wife ) . But fans who hate the idea of Han Solo fathering a child out of his marriage to Leia have no reason to worry .

At first glance , it might seem that surmise over Rey ’s parents is just crossing name off the inclination of originalStar Warsheroes . Luke was first , followed by Leia and Han ( make Rey a sister to Kylo Ren ) , and now a new tress keep the dream live – sacrificing the spousal relationship and love story between Han and Leia to do it . Fans can contend whether an affair is more or less shocking thanHan shot Greedo first , but from a logistics full stop of view , the necessary timeline does n’t in reality make sense :   a point made by the Lucasfilm Story Group ’s Pablo Hidalgo when tell of the theory on Twitter :

This may be enough for manyStar Warsfans , but Hidalgo ’s explanation does assume that Han and Leia being " together " explicitly means Han never strayed … which forget room for speculation . And while some will point toStar Wars : The Last Jedi ’s accent on Rey ’s parents being unimportant people , that was only theater director Rian Johnson ’s feeling . TheRise of Skywalkerdirector J. J. Abrams confirmsthere is more to Rey ’s parentsthanLast Jedisuggests , which may be all the chance some theorists need .

But it ’s significant to remember that J. J. Abrams was the one who setThe Force Awakensinto stone . That includes the mystery of Rey ’s parents to begin with . It also includes the reasonwhyHan and Leia finally separated in the first spot , get into nidus when the tragedy of losing their son is explained . Han ’s ambivalency about the Jedi , and their deal guilt atletting Ben Solo become Kylo Renis what drove them apart , Leia devoting herself to the Resistance , and Han running from the bother . Since it was J. J. Abrams who built Han ’s counter and death on that same story , it ’s highly unlikely that he would undercut the apparatus like this ' Rey Solo ' possibility suggests .

Forget whether or not Han should have been faithless , or if their married couple was n’t as double-dyed as it seemed – or even how rooter would oppose to Rey being Han Solo ’s illegitimate heir . It does n’t matter whether it ’s better or worse , it ’s justa completely different storythan the one Abrams arrange up for the trilogy to come after . It ’s messy , perplexing , and the exact kind of " twist " that the newStar Warsfilms have avoided . bestow the fact that there ’s not any literal evidence to back up the theory , and fans can rest slowly .

Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalkermay let on Rey ’s parents . Heck , it may evenbring Luke Skywalker back from the drained . But the odds of Rey being Kylo Ren ’s half - sister are as slim as ever .
