1) She Is An Ordinary Person
Now we come to the most mind-blowing theory of them all. Forget being the daughter of her or the reincarnation of him, let’s for a second entertain the wild idea that Rey is actually… just an average person and not connected to any other characters. Whoah, I know, it’s a lot to take in.
This theory stems from the hope of some fans that the saga is exploring less of a typical Chosen One story arc, as in the prequels (sorry, mentioned them again), and instead going down a more meritocratic route – that anyone can be as powerful as Luke or Anakin. It just depends on how many Midi-chlorians they have (last time, I promise). This could even tie in to the ‘She’s Luke’s Student’ theory, so it still explains why she seems to have some training in the Force.
What if this trilogy isn’t just a continuation of the story of the characters we know from the old films but instead a new start – the story of how the Force awakened in a person completely new to the saga?
Nah, it’s too far-fetched.
