Star Wars

[LegendsOfNinjago]

There were Royal Guards in the room suggesting it could be the Emperor. Although..

It could be Mads playing Galen Marek

But what was he bowing to? Because whatever it was didn't look like a hologram but more like a Bacta Tank.

just speculation here, maybe it is Darth Plagueis, aka Snoke, in the bacta tank, master of Darth Sidious, who is in hibernation, and it is really Emperor who bows maybe?

I'm loving this!!! It has a very different feel from the main Star Wars movies, which I like as it gives it some unique-ness. Also I can't help but think that

Jyn Erso is Rey's mother. They look and sound too much alike for it to be a coincidence.

Let the hype begin!

Jyn Erso has the same initials as Juno Eclipse, who I'd imagine had to rewrite her past after working with Galen. and this actress does resemble her as well. I don't think she will be Rey's mother though too many things are pointing to Rey as a skywalker for me to be swayed at this point.

Holy Lego bricks Batman, I never even thought of this. That would be awesome...all of it.

[Forresto]

Palpatine having a master? That they introduce in a spinoff movie about stealing the death star plans with no chance of developing that further, that's a terrible idea. I'm sorry but that would not only be confusing but would change the dynamic of the OT which at this point is sort've uncool. That would be worse then anything George Lucas did.

[Junior Shark]

For the life of me, if Snoke is in this or Palpatine has a master I'm gonna strangle something. And Jyn as Rey's mother? Don't get your hopes up. In a galaxy with quadrillions of beings, more than two or three bloodlines can be heroic.

[CMP]

Those theories are not mutually exclusive, interestingly.

[General Magma]

Jyn Erso is not Rey's mother. Can people please stop with these farfetched theories? Rogue One has nothing to do with the sequel trilogy, and I'm pretty confident Rey is a Skywalker.

I will only say that it looks like a bacta tank, but it's probably not one. And I don't think Palpatine has a master at this point... it's just a hooded figure kneeling down, who may or may not be the new Imperial admiral.

The thing is, we don't really know. Many people wear robes in the Star Wars universe, it's not just exclusive gear for Jedi and Sith.

It's not that far-fetched. Her mother has to come from somewhere, and it would make sense to try and tie her in somehow rather than having her completely glazed over.

Rey's origin will be revealed- in Episode VIII. Just hang tight.

[Forresto]

She's going to be Han and Leia's daughter just you watch.

[Captain Nemo]

Rey being the daughter of Han and Leia makes no sense whatsoever. Their whole point is about trying to get Ben to come home. Would be rather hypocritical of them to leave their only daughter on a desert planet for 20 years and then not bother to recognize her (or care to) when they stumble across each other.

That all being said, Star Wars has horrible parents in general, across the board.

[CMP]

I don't like Rey being a Skywalker but after repeated viewings of the movie now that I've got it on Blu-ray...I mean, it's practically confirmed.

Calling it now, Luke and Jyn.

Cleigg did a good job raising Owen. And Owen and Beru were able to control Luke right up to their deaths. also Jango, though a criminal did a rather good job raising Boba until his death. so that's 4 characters across 7 films..... ok your statement rings true

But were they the real parents…?

[Umbra-Manis]

Well if you apply that condition then its just cliegg. (And maybe the mother of that baby Ewok who gets scared during C-3P0's story.)

[xboxtravis7992]

Why all the Galen Marek and Juno Eclipse stuff? I was pretty sure that when Disney swept away the old EU that The Force Unleashed took a lot of the blow. I'd say my list of things that DEFINITELY don't pertain to the the new Canon is:"Ben Skywalker, Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, Anakin Solo... and Galen Marek".

Sure it is possible Thrawn or somebody like that could be re-canonized but Galen Marek's story in founding the Rebellion has been destroyed completely by Star Wars: Rebels. For example the "Starbird" Rebel Logo that was once Galen's family seal in the old canon, has been re-canonized as Sabine's rebellious graffiti tag. Furthermore it would be very odd that Disney would bank their first Star Wars "Spin-off" film on the story of a short lived video game series that failed to meet expectations and had the third game cancelled.

So yeah, no Galen and no Juno. All their story is to me is Fanon now.

Unless she was so powerful, Luke erased their memory in order to protect her from Snoke...

It was pretty much just glorified fanon to begin with. Definitely one of the weakest and most shoehorned parts of the EU.

[Jbricks]

Memory wipe is almost as bad of a plot hole cover up than "it was all a dream." I would be very disappointed if a mind wipe was the explanation for Rey's backstory. How about: cloners take all the best pilot, swordfighter, mechanic, charismatic, good-looking, do-everything-right, and Jedi DNA and made Rey? It's the perfect explanation!

[Artanis I]

Sidious surely can't have a master (except before Episode 1) - Darth Bane and his sith rule of 2 was in The Clone Wars and therefore canon... it would be dumb to disregard it for the entire saga

[TeufelHund]

It's always possible that Rey is the child/clone of a Sith (Sideous would be the obvious candidate although perhaps she's a bit too young to have been conceived naturally by him).

That looks like the best damn fan film I've ever seen!

But seriously, that trailer was amazing! I've detailed my thoughts here.

I was over the moon when they showed the crater dish being placed on the death star with the fleet of ships all around.

That's no moon. It's a space station.

(Sorry, somebody had to say it.)

That white-suited Imperial is a Grand Admiral, so if we get a minifigure of him we're one step closer to an accurate purist Thrawn.

Indeed. Just put the Duros head from the battle pack with some black hair on that body and you pretty much got Thrawn.

That would take things to whole new dark weird level!

Guys, Rey is to young for her parents to allegedly show up in Rogue One I think. The various clone theirs are interesting, will just have to wait and see! And I have to say, I love the Force Unleashed (II) and wish with every fiber of my being that they had adapted it into the new canon. Ah well. I do like the idea of it being fit into this movie tho, that would be triple coool.

Rogue One only takes place directly before New Hope, I thought.

yes but Rey is still young (early 20s I think) in TFA, which is aprox 40 years after ANH. that means whom ever her parents are have to have survived 20ish years of rebellion after R1. even if they introduce her parents in the movie there will be no indication of them being her parents until at least EPVIII.

I'm of the fanbase that hopes Rey and Jyn aren't related to anyone we know of currently. The whole Star Wars universe doesn't have to be one big extended family that does all the stuff. There should be other heroes that operate in different roles in the rebellion.

I think the tough female lead works, provided they give her some other dimensions. Maybe even humor. Her rap sheet indicates that she's been doing this a long time and she could be a bit remenicient of Han, in a way.

[Robianco]

I'm also thinking she's far more closely related to Han in terms of personality than Rey. The 'Wannabe tough' tag that someone lumped them both together in was ridiculous. Rey was never wannabe tough... she was independent but emotionally damaged due to being abandoned but just got on with her life until ultimately becoming a bad megablocks as her force powers developed... Jyn just seems like she's been a trouble maker most of her life and in the thick of things. Far more Han-like.

I don't think it necessarily has to be/should be either, but it doesn't change the fact that I think it is like that.

She reminds me a lot of Kyle Katarn, fittingly. Especially since it appears she might have been Imperial at some point?..
