@SpaceLord21: Not to mention since this is ~30 ABY, she'd be pretty old by now given Obi-Wan's death in 0 ABY. And I don't think he'd be knocking boots with Satine anytime after 19 BBY given his relocation to Tatooine after then, so the youngest she has to be with that theory is 49.

What about Obi's Granddaughter aye?

Im leaning to her being Kaylo-Ren's sister and thus Han and Leia's daughter.

1.  She was able to read Kaylo's mind/ thoughts when he tried to read hers... just seems awkward without force training.
2.  I remember somewhere in the books they used the force to erase memories and that may be a possibility for her and Kaylo because he felt a kind of nostalgia toward her.
3.  Han Solo refers to Rey as Reia once in the movie, even though she never told him her real name.  So how would he know her real name and not her nickname when never told. (scene where Han offers her a job)
4.  Leia when she sees Reia at the end gives a very motherly hug almost like a homecoming...

so yeah.. that's just my thoughts.

Yes that's a possibility @SgtSpectre but in the net there is a lot of theories say that Rey is the Luke's daughter.

Well the look Luke gave Reia, wasn't one of a parent seeing a child, its more like he felt the force in her and it felt similar to Kaylo and he possibly thought it was Kaylo.. because his eyes were narrowed and his stance was bladed/ wedged. That's more of an incase of action stance ready to defend. Not so much like my long lost daughter... Just the cold interaction between Reia and Luke as opposed to the very warm reaction between Reia and Han or Reia and Leia.

also kind of weird "hey I named my daughter in honor or my sister... my first crush..Reia... for Leia"

Reia?!
That never happened.
It was Rey, always Rey

I think the explanation that would make the most sense would be that Rey is the daughter of another unknown/not mentioned jedi/sith.

The sword drawing Rey to it could be explained by the force. It was wielded by two of the (if not the) strongest jedi/sith in the Star Wars movies, so it would definitely be possible without her being a Skywalker.

The movies being about Skywalker woudl still be true, since the villain and a main character (Ben and Leia) are Skywalkers and most of the movie revolves about them trying to find Luke Skywalker.

Leia hugging Rey is probably because Han is dead and, in the short time she knew him, he was like a father to Rey. It doesn't mean that he literaly was her father. They just got along well.

I don't recall hearing Han say "Reia" but I only watched the german version, so meh.

Either way, the movie was great.

I believe Rey is somehow related to the Skywalkers but nothing is certain at this point. What concerns me is vision she had when she held Luke/Anakin's old lightsaber. What was weird for me was how and who recovered that lightsaber from Bespin?
If someone can clarify it'd be appreciated since I know nothing of the lore outside the films.

@jmcatap1 I don't get it.
You wanna know about the scenes of the vision specifically or how Maz Kanata got the lightsaber?

i still dont feel like she's luke's kid, there realated some how

I can't seem to remember it now, but was it mentioned how Han found the Falcon? When they had the issues and then all of a sudden latches on and finds?

If it wasn't could he have left the Falcon on purpose with a transponder planted in case his daughter (if she is) got it working?

Yup, he calls her Reia when asking her if she wants a job

I've watched it twice and no, he doesn't.
And if you don't trust me, you'll definitely trust the official novelization.

I hope Reys not Lukes daughter. In fact I hope Rey is the Granddaughter of Ben Kenobi. Anyone who watched the clone wars knows that Obi Wan had a relationship with a senetor a long time ago. Whose to say when he was on the run, someone didnt help him out and erase his existance. Whose to say Obi-Wan didnt have a one night thing with the Mandolian senator, and left for her own safty and Rey parent was born as a result. Then in the last days of the empire, her parents are forced to abandon her on the Jakku for her own safty.
If this is the case, then we have another Kenobi vs Skywalker match which would be awesome. Also in regards to the Bloodline, Obi Wan was already strong with the force to begin with, and Mandolian fascination with battle and tech makes more sense in how skilled she is at both.
I also love the idea of a Mandelorian gear draped Jedi.

Some of the movie scenes seemed to hint at perhaps Han and Leia being her parents.  

One for me is the Kylo/Rey bits.  One being him telling her that Han would be disappointing as a parent.  If I recall correctly this is after him mentioning that she admires him as a father figure.  She understood Wookie, which isn't apparently an easy thing to do.

She also understands the Falcon and can do things that surprise her pretty well.  Perhaps that's how the Force manifests in her, or perhaps she's been in it before.  

Kylo also seemed to have known her.  Remember his response to the dude who told him that the droid had left? It was pretty calm.  Then the guy tells him that the droid was helped by a traitor. Okay, time to hit some stuff. But then a girl from Jakku helped, and now Kylo chokes a dude.  

Rey also has visions of Kylo's betrayal, as if she was there.  I mean, sure, these could be Luke too, I suppose.  But, I want to go off on a tangent.  Was anyone else annoyed about how when we get back to the Resistance planet after Han dies that Leia just waltzes right past Chewie, Han's oldest friend (and is it still canon that he owed Han a life debt?) and hugs a random girl? Chewie just gets shuffled to a group that celebrates the destruction and we see a 3 second scene of him looking morose after that.  That bothered me a bit.  

And then she takes the Falcon with Chewie and leaves.

You actually just brought something up that never even occurred to me till now. How in the hell did she understand Wookie, especially being stuck on a sand planet which I doubt they would like very much.

I completely missed that bit myself. o.O

That is something that I have been wondering about as well.

I read that(somewhere, I don't know where and can't find it) that after the lightsaber fell to Bespin, some trader(/villager) found it and accidentally set fire to bushes by turning it on. This then passed on from trader to trader, people to people until it fell into Maz's hands, which she then locked up in her basement.
This might be true, or we might know the real thing in Episode VIII.

@sirvm: Considering Bespin is a gas giant, that's highly unlikely.
