With the revelation that Rey is the daughter of…nobody in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, many fans out there are still speculating as to how they can twist things around so that her parentage is actually important. Rumors have spread from Palpatine and Snoke all the way back to Han and Leia as the potential candidates. One new rumor points to Han — and not Leia — as a parent…but is any of this true? Will Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker turn into one annoying episode of Maury Povich?

While we can’t deny outright that her parentage WON’T play a vital role (in spite of Johnson passing it off), you can rule out the possibility that Han and/or Leia are responsible for the Force-sensitive protagonist. The claim came courtesy of Star Wars canon overlord Pablo Hidalgo via Twitter.

“That doesn’t fit with the timeline. Han and Leia were together up until about 5 years before TFA when it all went to hell, and Rey is 19.”

Hidalgo went on to clarify that he meant she is 19 when The Force Awakens begins…so that would mean she is not much older in The Last Jedi, and around 20 or 21 when The Rise of Skywalker begins.

All I can say is…thank God!

I’ll be properly annoyed if The Rise of Skywalker turns into nothing more than a series of retcons. Forget about the past. Move forward and continue on with the mythology.
