Luke is for certain Rey's father.

I'm more and more certain this was pretty much revealed in the film. So unless Rian and Colin purposely change Abrams original intention due to the hype around the question of who Rey is, it should be Luke.

you like AT-ATs in rogue one but not Ep VIII? smh

Rey is probably Assoka's daughter considering they are both disgusting Mary Sues.

I like them not using and doing the same things over and over. Especially after TFA.

Seems you've forgotten the days when Star Wars used to actually surprise us.

Those were AT-ACT, not AT-ATs.

Beni's been triggered.

i am a reasonable man, but Thor is testing my patience.

TFA had good moments, but Rogue One is vastly superior, imho.

It's Palpatine. 🙂 🙂

wow such double standard, Rogue one was full of stuff from the OT yet no complaints? They even had cgi tarkin, what a rip off. I hope we get cgi Lando in VIII.

Think really hard about this and if you still don't get it then I'll explain the difference to you.

There is nothing you can explain to me. 🙁

Episode VIII isn't going to work unless we get Rey Palpatine IMHO.

I liked TFA better, but not by a whole lot.

Pretty arrogant thinking I can't explain anything to you about my preferences.

I'm not against nostalgia, but I'm used to Star Wars giving us something new and original with every film. TFA was the first SW film to revamp an old SW plot and sell it as a sequel, which didn't even make sense. I mean Resistance instead of Rebellion? First Order instead of the Empire? It's retarded. This is supposed to be a sequel to the OT, and yet somehow the Galaxy's just gone back to the same situation they were in the OT..

On top of that it's supposed to be 30 years later, and yet everyone's still using the same spaceships. Star Destroyer's, X-Wing's and Tie Fighters. But hey no Death Star right? Oh wait..

Now did R1 just copy a previous SW film? Nope. Is R1 giving us the same political situation and vehicles? Well.. Yeah... But it makes sense coming right before ANH. But heck they still managed to give us U-Wings and Death Troopers at least.

R1 is a Great example of how you can give us something new and different but still puts lots of nostalgia around it. TFA is a great example of a film just desperately clinging to nostalgia. It was the Superman Returns of SW films.

Heck Lucas himself called TFA a very Retro movie, but really liked R1. There's nothing hypocritical there. It's a perfectly valid criticism of TFA, that doesn't wholly apply to R1.

And FYI AT-AT's make sense for a ground assault in the OT time period. Plus we hadn't seen them on screen in a good long while. But I don't want Episode 8 now to just be a copy of ESB. And I'd definitely prefer they come up with some new vehicles (30 years on).

Personally not buying into any of these Grandparent theories, because I think they need to go into who her parents are, not grandparents.

She's most likely a Skywalker.
