Star Wars Rey Theory (SPOILERS)

Is her accent a clue to her origin?
This hadn't even occurred to me but would she have a British accent if the prevailing theory is right and she is Luke's daughter and was raised (kinda) and trained by him at some point?
Or is it a daughter he doesn't even know he has?

She speaks with what here on the planet Earth we would call a British Received Pronunciation accent, which a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away was known as the Coruscanti dialect of Galactic Basic Standard. That means her mother probably spoke with a Coruscanti dialect, which means her mother probably wasn't Leia, which means her parents are probably Luke Skywalker and some as-yet-unknown woman from the Core Worlds.

I think they are taking that too far. She speaks with that accent because she is British.

I don't see why anyone would think she is Leia's daighter, and I really doubt she's Luke's.

Do we need a Rey spoilers megathread? This is like the fourth "Rey spoilers thread" gosh

We need a GOT level theory thread and a damn blockade on everyone starting their own frickin Star Wars thread when they could post in 1 of the 8 billion other ones on the front page

Boyega explained it in an interview. It just didn't sound right for an escaping stormtrooper to have a British accent. He did it on the first take, JJ said, "Yeah, don't do that."

yeah it is interesting.
She could also possibly be a Kenobi...

Ben kenobi having kids would be a slap in the face of his character. He's supposed to be the perfect Jedi

That gets my vote, thus far.

This. We have an official thread, how about keep the discussion going there?

Pretty lame way to go about it.
If she's not Luke's, then idk how about just making an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT bloodline to talk about besides the same 3 they always do. Maybe that's just too crazy to have more than 1 bloodline in an entire galaxy

Lol wouldn't she remember this? Also in the movie she said something along the lines of "Luke Skywalker? I thought he was a myth". Even if she was lying and knew him, she certainly didn't want to go find him, she wanted to stay on/go back to Jakku.

I doubt it will happen, just throwing it out there as a possibility.
The saga films (Episodes) are about the Skywalker family. They will explore other things going on in the galaxy in the anthology series beginning with Rogue One.

That doesn't mean everyone has to be related

Everyone isn't related.

there is precedent in the EU for using the force to suppress or wipe someone's memory.
