I can't see that to be honest. Sauce? I'm in the 'she is the long lost child of Luke who boned a lass on a one night stand' type of theorist at present.
She's a dark force user in the Star Wars cartoon books which are official canon. Rey and Kylo Ren were trained together, hence their familiarity in Force. Luke trained Kylo Ren and Rey when they were kids. Kylo turned to the Dark Side and Luke was so overcome with guilt that he went into exile. Rey was left on Jakku to hide her from Snoke. Snoke btw is Darth Plagueis [the Sith Master who Palpatine thought he had killed.]
Bloody ace, ain't it? Might as well repost my thoughts from our board. Spoiler: Rogue One spoilery stuff in here Just a few random points about Rogue One. I thought the CGI Tarkin and Leia were bloody superb, in particular Tarkin. When I first heard they were going to put Peter Cushing in CGI in this film I was incredibly skeptical, but it really works. Yes, you can tell it is CGI, but damn if it isn't brilliant CGI. I felt it didn't distract at all. The callbacks to ANH were really nice, the one in particular I loved was during the space battle when a pilot under the callsign Red 5 is killed (Red 5 is Luke's callsign, this essentially shows how he got it). The only one that slightly bugged me was when Jyn and Cassian bump into that bloke Obi Wan kills in the cantina in ANH. Felt that was just slightly too far, but is no massive problem. I know it sounds bad, but I'm glad everyone dies. It shows the plans meant more than anything else, and that is really is a one-and-done story with no 'proper' sequel. Fair play to Disney and Lucasfilm on that one. I felt Vader's use was spot on - not too much, and that final scene alone was worth it completely. They weren't lieing when they said this is set right before ANH, were they? Final point - sorry R2, but there's a new best droid out there. K2SO is bloody ace. Easily the bext character in the movie for me. There's probably a couple of other things but I need to rewatch it to have a good idea about them.
I thought it was incredible. I watched the 3D. usually I find it a bit distracting and I did at first but then it just got more and mire epic. its quite a bit more serious than the main films but I think thats good. doing a spin off allows them to go a bit darker.
This is the best Star Wars film I've ever seen. Some people knocked the Tarkin and Leia CGI but it was spot on for me.
A dozen or more times each film, been to the Star Wars celebration in Anaheim and have most of the original figures bar a few from the last 16....
