re: Star Wars Rey Theory (SPOILERS)

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

Yup, if I were Rian Johnson, I would go that way. Let's say Rey was being trained as a child before the KoR exterminated the jedi Luke was training. Perhaps, Luke used the force to wipe her memory, had her dropped off on Jackuu where Max Von Sydow's character watched over her (sort of like Ben did w/a young Luke Skywalker). So if she lost memory of the training, but still possessed some of the jedi training skillset, to me that would explain how she seemed more advanced in the force than she should have been. If Kylo Ren exterminated the jedi at age 19-20, and Rey was around 10 years old when this all happened, it would make sense. Either way, I'm hoping the new director (Johnson) goes in a more interesting direction in explaining Rey's backstory, instead of doing the obvious in saying Luke is her dad.
