Well yeah the idea of Palpatine just having regular kids is such a retcon of the earlier movies it's ridiculous

Yeah I can't stand anything about Rey's parents revelation 2.0, like Palps having actual kids is dumb and them being actually heroes who bravely abandoned their daughter is REALLY fucking dumb

Yes, we could've also had some clarity on why, exactly, leaving Rey to grow up alone in the scrapyard was the best possible plan they could come up with

Hell they SOLD her, that's still Canon, and I have NO idea why "they sold you to protect you" shut your stupid face Kylo

Could have been a ruse that went bad, that's my assumption

Could also be a lie, like the Emperor WANTS Rey to hate him so it'd make sense he'd spin a tale where he authored all her misery regardless of the truth

The most annoying thing about the reveal is they spelled out that there's independent confirmation, Leia and Luke and possibly Han have actually known the whole time and so it isn't just something Palpatine made up

Like this is just JJ connecting dots from TFA, TFA did strongly hint there was a reason Han took her in and he and Maz Kanata share a cryptic conversation about it TLJ just retconned this to her being obviously super powerful but without any explanation for it

This is the most comic book thing I've seen in a major movie, 2 Creators trying to out retcon each other over the truth of their preferred Canon

Well look Rian said he did spend a lot of time trying to think of who Rey's parents could be and couldn't think of anything that wasn't ridiculous Which is why JJ boldly seized on the one possibility that was the MOST ridiculous

Rian did, in fact, say that he briefly considered escalating the whole "You're nobody" concept by saying Rey wasn't even a "real person" but a clone or a droid, but decided the simpler answer was better In hindsight, he probably should've done the clone thing

My husband's pet theory was that the Force just created her out of nothing one day like some kind of super-Anakin.
