I noticed it on my second viewing well before it was announced (saw it again Friday morning OD). It is pretty difficult to here Yoda. But Kenobi saying, “Rey” is surprisingly noticeable (though “these are your first steps” is quite a bit harder to catch.
What? Yoda was the first I heard. Luke's scream. OB1's lines. But maybe all that is so engraved in my brain that it locked right into those familiar words and sounds.
Because that just wouldn't be "satisfying" at all, and would instead just be so stupidly obvious that they should have just outright confirmed it in Ep.7, instead of making a "mystery" out of it.
Also given it's Colin Trevorrow saying this, could it be that we don't find out/get confirmation until Episode 9? Damn!
And doesn't sound like he's shying away from the Prequels. Sounds like there could be Prequel connections with the Sequels.

Yeah, it's not that clear. But it does look like they want to move beyond the Skywalker family. And in a way, that is honoring Lucas. he said after EPIII that the Skywalker story was done.
And even though Trevorrow isn't THAT specific, I do believe Rey is not a Skywalker. I woud certainly hope so.
