Star Wars 9 Rise of Skywalker: Daisy Ridley teases TRUTH of Rey’s parents to be REVEALED

Following the release of The Force Awakens, many Star Wars fans were adamant that Rey’s parents would be revealed as Han and Leia or even Luke. However, come the controversial The Last Jedi and Kylo Ren explained how they were nobodies really. But now Daisy Ridley has teased that there may be more to this than meets the eye. Speaking with USA Today, the 27-year-old said: “[Director JJ Abrams] did say the question is answered.”

She added: “So at the end of the film, you do know what the dealio is.”

Back in April, Abrams teased that there’s more to Rey’s parents going into The Rise of Skywalker.

Speaking with Good Morning America at Star Wars Celebration yesterday, Abrams said: “I will say that we knew going into to this, that this movie, it had to be a satisfying conclusion.

“And we are well aware that that’s one of the things that’s sorta been out there. I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode VIII…y’know, we have honoured that.”

Abrams added: “But I will say that there’s more to the story than you see.”

By the sounds of it, Abrams will not be retconning Johnson’s decision for Rey to not be of significant birth.

It seems that originally this had been Abrams’ plan, as revealed by The Force Awakens star Simon Pegg.

Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast last year, he said: “I know what JJ [Abrams] kind of intended, well, at least what was sort of being chucked around. I think that’s kind of been undone slightly by the last one.”

Pegg added: “There was some talk about, you know, a kind of relevant lineage for her.

“But I honestly don’t know, and I don’t know if anybody knows. We shall see.”

Despite the changes, perhaps Rey will become a Skywalker, as the film’s title suggests the surname of Anakin, Luke and Leia could become the name of a new order like the Jedi. Maybe the Skywalker will be the balance of the Force between the Jedi and Sith?

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is released in UK cinemas on December 19, 2019.
