It’s one of the biggiest questions to come from the latest Star Wars film – Skatronixxx

For all the attention that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has commanded since its December 2015 release. No more as stolen the limelight that Daisy Ridleys Rey, a character who has been celebrated, theorised, critique and even sparked a revolution on our toy-stands.

But as studied as the young-Jedi is, what remains as tantalising as-ever is that we don’t have that much background on everyones new favourite Star Wars personality. Sure there are theories out there but only three men, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson and Colin Trevorrow, seem to hold the answers, and they’re just loving it.

“I know quite a bit,” revealed Abrams speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour. “But obviously it’s not for me to talk about in this moment because this is Rian (Johnson’s) story to continue now and the last thing I’m going to do is reveal something he would be upset about. I want to make sure Rian gets that courtesy that he had shown me.”

Although Abrams was quick to keep mum on the subject, his answer does indicate that by the time Johnson’s Episode VIII rolls around we may get more insight into where Rey comes from and indeed, who her parents are. If fellow actor John Boyega is to be believed that Johnson’s sequel will be “much darker”, it could be a rough ride both physically mentally for the heroine. Perhaps an Empire Strikes Back like reunion is on the cards, I’d just stay away from those rail-less walkways if I was you Rey.

Although the sequel is purported to get darker, like her fellow new characters, Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Issaac) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Rey is expected to appear in all three of the new Star Wars movies. Which seems appropriate given Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow’s affinity for the character. “I love her and I love what she represents in that universe and where we can take her. It’s pretty incredible,” commented the Jurassic World (2015) director, whose film held the record for reaching a Billion Dollars in the least amount of days until The Force Awaken broke it late last year.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the BAFTA Nominations Event on Saturday, Trevorrow was careful not to confirm the prevailing theory that Rey is Star Wars Legend Obi Wan Kenobi’s Granddaughter:

“I’ve seen all of the theories and, you know, I have to practice how to answer these questions. What I do know is that we’re going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying because Rey is a character that is important in this universe. Not just in the context of The Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy and she deserves it. And so we’ll make sure that answer feels like something that was — it’s something that happened a long time ago far away. We’re just telling you what happened.”

Although tight-lipped, Trevorrow didn’t deny that the fan-theory could be wrong, I guess that we can keep on fan-ficting this one to death until Johnson’s Episode VIII is released May 26, 2017.
