Warning: There are potential spoilers ahead for "Star Wars."
One of the biggest questions "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" left unanswered was the identity of Rey, the young scavenger from the desert planet of Jakku.
Since 2015, "Star Wars" fans have come up with a lot of theories on who the young girl can possibly be. And the speculation goes way beyond whether Rey's a Solo or a Skywalker (or even a Kenobi).
With "The Last Jedi" upon us in December, the question will certainly come back to the forefront. INSIDER searched through the many theories we could find about the mystery girl – some are pretty feasible and some of them are truly out there. We'll have to wait until "The Last Jedi" or beyond to find out whether any of these theories pans out.

Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter.
Let's start off with one of the biggest theories. If you've been following anything "Star Wars"-related, you've heard this one by now.
How the theory goes: Rey is Luke's daughter. She's a natural pilot, just like the other Skywalkers, is naturally strong in the Force, and Luke's lightsaber calls out to her in "The Force Awakens." At the film's end, it looks as if Luke instantly recognizes Rey and has a connection with the young girl.
Why people don't buy it: Some fans think this is too obvious of an answer for Rey's heritage. Then there's the fact that Rey doesn't seem to be aware of Luke Skywalker at all when Finn mentions him.

Rey is Han Solo and Leia's daughter.
Another big theory is that Rey is the daughter of Han and Leia, making her Kylo Ren's sister.
How the theory goes: Before Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012, the accepted "Star Wars" canon included one of many novels that featured Han and Leia's twin children named Jaina and Jacen. The one twin, Jacen, fell to the dark side. Though the novelizations are no longer canon, many believe Lucasfilm may be loosely adapting Jaina and Jacen as Rey and Kylo Ren.
As well, Rey and Han seem very similar. Not only were the two finishing each other's sentences in "The Force Awakens," but Rey also had a knack for mechanical engineering similar to Han.
Why people don't buy it: It's extremely strange that Leia and Han never mention having a daughter in "TFA." Sure, maybe they never speak of her because they thought they lost her long ago, but in the novelization the two refer to Rey as no one special but "the girl."

She's Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter.
The last major theory that has been growing on us in the past few months is that Rey is a Kenobi.
How the theory goes: There's a lot of time in between "Star Wars: Episode III" and "Episode IV," and some think Obi-Wan may have had a love interest after he went into hiding. There's some evidence to support this since he falls for Duchess Satine in the animated series "The Clone Wars." A lot of people also point out that she has an accent similar to Obi-Wan's.
Fans think there are a lot of hints to Kenobi and Rey's connection. For instance, when Rey first comes in possession of Luke's lightsaber she hears a multitude of voices including Obi-Wan's (both Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness). Sure, Anakin's lightsaber may have called to Rey, but Obi-Wan was in possession of it the longest. People also see her use of a Jedi mind trick eerily similar to the delivery of Kenobi throughout the "Star Wars" saga.
Furthering the theory is that Disney reportedly has plans for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, and it's been hinted we could see the character pop up in December's "The Last Jedi."
Why people don't buy it: Kenobi doesn't seem like the kind of person to break the Jedi code for a woman. It would also be weird for the series to skip over an entire generation of the character's history.
