So I was at Megacon this past weekend and some dude was talking to me about Star Wars (Because I was dressed as Obi Wan). He was like "Do you read the comics?" and I said "yes, I've read many of them but stopped about 2 months ago."

He asked me if I'd seen the huge reveal about Rey's parents and I was like WTF?! no?!

I'm pretty sure he's completely wrong here, but he was ABSOLUTELY certain. I'll use spoiler tags just in case.

I think the internet would've blown up a little bit more.

But the Poe series is still ongoing, so far.

My own opinion is you've been punked.

Can't be true if Bloodline is true IMO.

I think he is pulling your leg. I have read all the new comics and with the exception of TFA adaption (not out yet), none are in the right timeline for this

I'm quite convinced Rey is Leia and Han's daughter. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Reading Bloodline currently, I feel it was a mistake to set a novel in that period when the new trilogy is still in development. You can rest assured that crucial information like Rey's parentage is kept as secret as Vader's connection to Luke was at the time.

I think Rey is the daughter of:

dun dun duuuuuuun

Hope I'm wrong.

But The Force Awakens was so hyped that it wasn't as BIG as the hype. Which is why, despite enjoying the movie, I'm not offended by people who hated it. Perhaps they would've loved the movie were it not for the barrage of hyped up awesomeness.

That's why I believe we're getting all this excitement and hype and wow about Rey only to find out

But I want to be wrong.

The Force Awakens Disney infinity game possibly spoils it. There's enough YouTube videos on that one that you can find them yourself and save me faffing with spoiler tags.

Edit: apparently it was all proven nonsense so never mind.

Rian Johnson has input into Bloodline. Rey isn't a Solo.

somebody from somewhere who has no major relevance to anyone or anything

Hope I'm wrong.

her parents are two people we've never heard of and are completely unimportant.

But I want to be wrong.

I hope that your spoiler tags are correct. I want the universe expanded and not just limited to the same repetition.

Rey isn't a Solo.

I'll never understand how anyone could think she's a solo, unless she's like their niece or something, and Han's bother Lan was the father...

Because I simply can not accept that someone wouldn't recognize their own child even if they hadn't seen them for 10 or so years. I mean if they were separated when the child was an infant sure, but that isn't what happened.

So there's no way Han wouldn't of known who she was, if she wasn't his daughter.

One old RPG idea I had might end up coming true. NOT LIKELY! But better than the Solo theory:

Nah, it can't be that.

Rey isn't a Solo.

That was a rather young girl that got left behind. Chewie likes her, she's instantly at home on the Falcon and Han was definitely feeling paternal. And then there's the Rey/Leia connection at the end.

She's not that young, not so young a parent wouldn't recognize her, it just would not happen. Not unless Han had not seen her since she was like two years old.

Nither of those mean anything.

Han was definitely feeling paternal.

Of course he was, he lost his son and this girl brought the falcon back to him. But there's no way in the world he wouldn't recognise her, if that was his daughter.

And then there's the Rey/Leia connection at the end.

Yes because she was there at the end.

Well...Darth Vader didn't know he had a son and a daughter, right? And he was about to straight up kill her (without recognizing her at all, even with the Force). Maybe it's a thing in the Star Wars universe. Fathers that don't recognize their daughters.

And yet, even when Leia is reminiscing about Ben away training with Luke during Bloodline, there is no mention of some long lost daughter she gave up.

As if they would allow a book to further the story in such a way. That's reserved for the movies.

You seem to think there's some magical connection. .

And once again, Rian Johnson, director of Episode VIII, had input into Bloodlines.

Well...Darth Vader didn't know he had a son and a daughter, right?

He wasn't there when they were born, he may not of even known she was pregnant at all, let alone that there were twins. This is a completely different thing then someone giving birth and having that child with them for 12 or so years.

SO what? Lying to the audience to keep the mystery box for the movie is en vogue. They still would not reveal something like this in a silly expanded universe book.

C section, Luke erased everyone's memory, whatever. Maybe Leia lost her will to remember and just forgot. It star wars, everything is possible ;-)

It star wars, everything is possible ;-)

And that would include someone besides a Skywalker giving birth to someone important and able to use the force...

Now I can see her being Luke's daughter, although I still find that highly far fetched. I know that when I look at my niece who's 22 now, I wasn't shocked at how much different she looked then when she was 12. So I find it very hard to believe that Han wouldn't recognize her.

But the idea he wouldn't recognize his own child... No I simply refuse to believe anyone could create a plot hole that large.

This does not look like a twelve-year-old to me:

We're talking about 15 years of separation from her parents.

You can find out for sure. Someone MUST have counted all the tick marks on Rey's wall by now to find out exactly how many days she's been there.
