Warning: There are massive spoilers ahead for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
One of the biggest questions fans had at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was the identity of Rey.
Viewers finally received some sort of answer in "The Last Jedi," but it wasn't really satisfying.
This is your last chance to head back before spoilers.
Near the end of the film, Kylo Ren and Rey are at a standstill. The two just teamed up to take down Snoke and Kylo asks Rey to join him and build a new order from scratch.
"It's time to let old things die. The Sith. Jedi. Rebels. Let it all die," Solo tells her.
Rey refuses, consumed with learning the identity of her parents. This frustrates Ben. He's angry she continues to hold onto the past and lashes out.
Ben tells Rey that she knows the truth about her parents. She has known it all along. The problem? She doesn't want to accept the truth.
Rey stays silent, but Ben tells her that she's nobody. She came from nothing. Rey had filthy, poor parents on Jakku who sold her for drinking money. That's it. That's the big twist.
"They were filthy junk traders," Solo tells her. "You have no place in this story. You're nobody. But not to me."
Is this actually true? Maybe.
I'm sure Disney has seen the many theories fans have come up with on who Rey could be. She's a Kenobi. She's a Skywalker. Maybe the studio truly wanted to catch fans off guard by sending a message that anyone can be born Force sensitive.
It's a very Disney-friendly message. Anyone can be a Jedi!
The very end of the film supports this theory, too. We're introduced to a Force-sensitive boy on Canto Bight. His existence may be to emphasize that there are a bunch of Force-sensitive children out there that can come from any realm of the galaxy.
Why this is an unsatisfying and lame answer that we're not buying just yet
Who are we to trust that Kylo Ren is a reliable narrator? Who says he isn't lying to Rey for his own personal gain?
Rey seems so connected in the Force to Ben, Leia, and Luke in "The Last Jedi" that it seems odd that she isn't related to any of them in some way. Then again, you would think that if Rey was related to any of the three that they would instantly make that connection and no one seems the wiser.
There's a trippy scene in "The Last Jedi" where Rey thinks she's about to find out her parents' identities. We see two silhouettes in front of her before they're reduced to one and Rey is staring back at herself.
What does that mean?
Is Rey the daughter of some immaculate conception the same way Anakin Skywalker was? I don't think Disney would go down that route again. It was already done and it was a tough plot point for fans to swallow. I'm pretty sure Disney is trying to stay as far away from referencing or mirroring the prequel trilogy as much as possible so it doesn't upset fans.
If Kylo was telling the truth, we may have seen Rey's father in "The Last Jedi." We don't seem to know too much about this DJ fellow played by Benicio del Toro other than he's a shady, resourceful codebreaker who only looks out for himself. He sounds like the sort of guy who might sell his daughter for some money if the price is right.
Hopefully, "Episode IX" will give us some clarity on whether or not Ben Solo's big reveal was the real deal or just a farce.
