It's Star Wars, we don't need much else to keep us interested. The problem with this theory - it has been brought up several times and I see people always bringing up the same arguements againts it: 'LF wouldn't bring unimportant video game characters as Rey's parents' - why not? At the best making them Iden and Del would be some be some fan service for those who know. Thank you and May the Force Be With You! Iden by now was a Commander in the Imperial Military. She was beautiful. There is also the pilot doll which is wearing Iden's pilot costume post defection. Del was gunned down in a drive-by shooting along with Russel's other high school friends one night outside a 7-Eleven Store. Yes, if there's nothing inside the mystery box, then there's almost no point to have it, unless you're intentionally using it to keep people interested. Iden Versio and Del Meeko, former Imperial soldiers fit into this category perfectly.
Del made his first appearance in the video "Clint Eastwood" while rapping, leaving the other band members dumbfounded.
There also should be an introduction of a mother, who died/sacrificed herself for the greater good/etc.
The Rey Versio theory makes the most sense.
Rey is a Skywalker/ a Solo - the variations of this theory are the most favored by the general audience, as these would explain how Rey is so 'powerful' in the Force and how everyone she encounters seems to recognise her one way or the other.
Upon her death, Ted Wilson , President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, released the following statement: "When we get to heaven, we will meet many people who were not only blessed by Del's voice but were influenced by her Christ-centered singing to make a decision to follow Jesus."
He loves creating mysteries and never resolve them. My all time main problem with the Reywalker theory (no offense) is that the mother character would have no time to shine. The daughter is not Rey. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. (Because of del). It is a curated space to talk about additions to canon in a larger perspective—incorporating analysis of the story being told and the real life factors around it in order to best theorize what comes next. The mystery box was setup for a reason, yes her destination is important point, but sometimes you have to know where you come from to know where your going.

Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Disclaimer: This post contains spoilers from Battlefront 2! Born Charles Westover in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1934, the singer-songwriter known as Del Shannon dies by suicide on February 8, 1990.In a period when …
There also could be an explanation like amnesia or something like that, but it would have the same effect. Yes, they could have dealt with Rey's parents in The Force Awakens, but even Jar Jar Abrams didn't know how to handle this. We get to see that Kylo knows about that girl after reading Del's mind, thus his strange behaviour whenever Rey is mentioned in The Force Awakens would be explained. Every wall was the same shade of lifeless obsidian, adorned with a flag sporting the Empire’s crest. It all adds up. As I indicated as a kind of tin foil theory, the family could have more than one child. It also answered JJ's statement : Rey's parents are not in ep VII.
Even Palpatine's father was a no one and he became one of the strongest Force users. Even if he did, why didn't he take care of his family?
Such as, she crashed in Jakku with her family and they all died.
She had black hair to match her mother sprouting from the top of her head. Spoiler warning, Zay is not Rey: https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=274s&v=iP17iZi0ck4relevant parts @ 4:34, 4:41, and 4:58.
I scour all sources for a given topic (from films to shows to novels to reference books to Star Wars Insider articles) in order to find relevant bits of information for that topic, tie it all together and present it succinctly. It would leave a bitter taste in everybody's mouth. Please be respectful and courteous to your fellow speculators - and be sure to check out our sidebar for the rules of this sub.
Rey is a Kenobi - people argue that Obi-Wan is either Rey's father or grandfather and it has the same issues, as the Skywalker theory - there should be several character introductions.
Nah they're clearly baiting rey parentage theorists so that later when it's debunked by the dlc (that releases around the same time as TLJ) they can smugly go "lol silly fan theorists not everyone who goes to jakku and joins the church of the force and has a mysterious daughter = rey's parents " . During the band's first hiatus, Del was exorcised from Russel's body, afterwards Del and Russel bid farewell to each other before Del finally went to his proper resting place in the afterlife.
I stare down at my niece. I don't think that a mother would leave her daughter behind on a planet like Jakku in the hands of someone like Unkar Plutt. Press J to jump to the feed. (Because del was the tech guy in inferno squad) why does she have an accent? In the video "Rock the House", Del was shown outfitted with protective gear and helmet dressed as "Mr. Freedom". "What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in Episode VII, not that they may not already be in her world." I agree with RJ, that her family is important because they are important to her.
I agree with you TL;DR. And that is why whoever Rey's parents aren't don't really matter. He was partially responsible for assisting the Gorillaz in composing the band's hit single, "Clint Eastwood", which sent the band on its way to super-stardom.

Del Meeko dies by the very end of Battlefront II, but Iden Versio’s ultimate fate remains a mystery. The Force is not always inherited, thus Rey could come from a family without any Force sensivity. Yes, he had a son in Legends, but the EU was cancelled for a reason. The problem with this is that there is already Ben Solo, who inherited both the Skywalker and the Solo genes and it would be pointless to bring another character with the same background. They were also joined by a fourth Squadmate but she would die in their first mission together. Del was gunned down in a drive-by shooting along with Russel's other high school friends one night outside a 7-Eleven Store.
- well, Del is a white character with a posh British accent and it could be easily explained with him having the dominant genes, 'The DLC for Battlefront 2 is datamined and their daughter is called Zay' - families sometimes have more than one children, so Zay could be the sister of Rey or something like this.
Thank you for opinion :) I'm not saying that this theory holds 100%, but to me, out of the other Rey heritage theories, it has the most evidence. Rey could have had siblings. Who’s shop was she scavenging through on Jakku, her grandfathers?
Cookies help us deliver our Services. -JJ. He was based on the American underground hip hop rapper, Del The Funky Homosapien. Almost immediately after his death, Del's spirit took residence inside of Russel's body.
As I see it, Disney tries to create a narrative with the new movies, that focuses on the destination of the journey, not on the starting point of it. But it would have no impact on the rest of the audience - the majority of the audience.
They also bring Holdo, who was only portrayed in novels and most of the non-readers won't have any idea who she is. Tbh I don't want it to be true but think it might be. Del found the force according to Kylo when he interrogated him.
Work together with your fellow speculators in an attempt to build understanding as we collectively try to unlock the secrets of upcoming Star Wars media! Rey's parents being dead though. Its not impossible i suppose, but maybe a bit inconsistent to have Rey come from a source that isnt already powerful with the force. When I do, I wish I had left them close. They could do that very well and I would laugh at myself :) We'll see I guess. Tinfoil hat clue - the DLC comes on 13th of December, which is the same date as the premier of the movie (why wouldn't they release it prior if there were nothing fishy about it?).
But as I already stated, Palpatine had a quite ordinary family in Plagueis (I know that it is not canon anymore) and he turned out to be one of the most formidable Force users. Recently, I've been reading all kinds of theories on Rey's heritage and even though most of them are fascinating, they are somewhat problematic.
If where she came from was not important, then they could have dealt with that immediately inTFA.
For some reason, it’s abnormally difficult for me to open my eyes.
It can be seen with Finn (we don't know who he is, who are his parents and he was a bad guy but it doens't matter as he is fighting for the right cause now), Kylo (he is shadowed by Darth Vader as he believes that he must follow his steps, but I bet my hat on his redemption) or Poe (we know where he comes from, but it was not addressed, as only his actions matter).

It seems so out of character for someone like Obi-Wan. TL;DR: Rey's origin is not necessarily important, the focus is on her destination. Ready to become a Je'daii?
