<p><em>Star Wars Episode VIII</em> may reveal the identity of Rey&#8217;s parents, actress Daisy Ridley suggested in a new interview. Speaking to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2eBPtXp">Vulture </a>(<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2ep54Nl">via GamesRadar</a>), Ridley was asked if Rey may be related to Obi-Wan Kenobi. &quot;We will see in a year. Just sit tight on that question.&quot; <em>Episode VIII</em> comes out in December 2017.</p>
<p>Vulture also asked Ridley if Rey could be the daughter of Jyn Erso, the rebel hero of this year&#8217;s <em>Star Wars: Rogue One</em>. That doesn&#8217;t seem very likely, however, due to the overall timeline of the story.</p>

<p>&quot;I mean, I think historically it wouldn&#8217;t work, because she is … Darth Vader is there … so she would ultimately be my great-grandma; no, she would be my grandma,&quot; she said, speculating on the subject. &quot;I mean it could happen, especially in a galaxy far, far away.&quot;</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Ridley has talked about the possibility of who Rey&#8217;s parents are. In April <a href="http://ift.tt/20tyyst">she confirmed that she knows Rey&#8217;s parentage</a>, but it doesn&#8217;t sound like Erso is her mom.</p>
<p>&quot;I&#8217;m not being funny you guys, but just because she&#8217;s white and got brown hair… it doesn&#8217;t mean she&#8217;s my mom,&quot; she said about Erso.</p>
<p>&quot;I think the amazing thing about <em>Episode VII</em> is that Finn and Rey don&#8217;t come from anywhere and they find a place,&quot; she said. &quot;To me, it&#8217;s funny that people think [Rey&#8217;s lineage] is so important, because I guess it is. But I don&#8217;t really think it is because regardless of where you come from, where you go is the thing&#8230;you&#8217;re moving forward, and you can make a family; you can find people who you love.</p>
<p>&quot;And so I think the progression Rey is making is and the people she&#8217;s meeting and the relationships she&#8217;s making now are kind of more important than where she comes from. But that&#8217;s just me.&quot;</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2ag8b8s">Filming is now wrapped up on <em>Episode VIII</em></a>. Next up for Star Wars is <em>Rogue One</em>. Ridley said she is pretty amped to see the movie.</p>
<p>&quot;I am just excited to see how it is, because I have heard it is so so different, and its own thing,&quot; she explained. &quot;I have no idea what happens&#8211;I know the ending, but I have no idea really what happens in it.&quot;</p>
<p><em>Rogue One </em>opens on December 16. Felicity Jones stars as Jyn Erso, with a cast that also includes Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, and Mads Mikkelsen. The film is directed by <em>Godzilla</em>&#8216;s Gareth Edwards.</p>
