Tagged title in case people want to stay in the dark and not speculate.

Anyway, per The Hollywood Reporter...

At first Abrams jokingly told the kid to get out. But then he dropped a big clue about the identity of Daisy Ridley’s character’s mom and dad: “Rey’s parents are not in Episode VII. So I can’t possibly say in this moment who they are. But I will say it is something that Rey thinks about, too.”

Things just got interesting.

UPDATE: After the Q&A, EW caught up with J.J. Abrams and he clarified his comments. The director says he was only trying to point out that The Force Awakens builds up the mystery of Rey’s parents without resolving it. “What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in Episode VII. Not that they may not already be in her world,” Abrams said.

He redacted this later by saying it was not revealed in episode 7, but her parents could have been in there.

He misspoke

I really hope she's not related to anyone. They have done the secret child thing once, don't think they will get away with it next time.

He was, then he wasn't, then he was. God Damned Marcus robbed him of his identity AND face when the Vanguard found him in deep space, and after a memory wipe and surgery.

Harrison was the best they had, even came up with new site-to-site transport advancement (NOT stolen from Mr. Scott as so many think), and as Harrison, wreaked absolutely havoc on Praxis.

It was obvious what Abrams was implying. It is insane he needed to clarify. I can't believe a single person interpreted it as they were literally not in the film. The context was obvious he was talking about the perspective of Rey.


And now this is going to be a thread of people not paying attention to his clarification isn't it?

I don't see how they can reveal her parents and be something that I'm satisfied with.

I think her having super special parents or be some character we know will do nothing for me. Maybe they can come up with a brilliant twist but I think I would rather her parents just be nobodies.

I'm curious to see what they can come up with but I'm not holding my breath for some incredible reveal. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Abrams comments make it pretty likely it's a character from Force Awakens it seems. Luke is probably still the best bet.

Bingo. The fact he immediately clarified after people misunderstood his comment(still how the did people see it that way? I don't get it.) seals the deal.

It's going to be Luke

Uh, what?

He left a huge mystery hanging after Episode 2 (clone army + Syfo-Dyas) and then just dropped it completely.

You mean, the mystery that was resolved 5 secs later?

By 5 seconds later you mean 3 years later in the next film?

The "another" was obsessively debated amongst nerds from 1980 to 1983.

Lucas didn't even decide to have to be Leia till during the writing of ROTJ. Wasn't answered in ESB at all.
