Disney / Lucasfilm har bekräftat att Kylo Ren och Rey, skurk och hjältinna i Star Wars: The Force Awakens har någon slags koppling till varandra och spekulationerna om vad det kan tänkas handla om - löper nu fritt på Teh Interweebz, likt en löpeld av fan-frenesi. Såhär skriver Heroic Hollywood om saken:
"On Takodana, Skywalker's lightsaber called to Rey, who experienced a Force vision. She rejected this call to destiny, but was captured by the dark side warrior Kylo Ren, with whom she shared a strange connection. Kylo took Rey to Starkiller Base, where he tried to understand her rapidly growing powers. With Finn in peril, she escaped and took up Skywalker's lightsaber - and the quest to find the Jedi master.
Snoke warned Kylo that there had been an awakening in the Force, and his apprentice would face a test when he confronted his father. Kylo swore his loyalties were only to Snoke. But he was intrigued when he captured Rey, a Jakku scavenger whose Force abilities were raw but very powerful. A mysterious connection seemed to link the two."
Slashfilm.com fyller i:
"The most obvious connection, and the one that I hope turns out to be demonstrably false, is that Kylo Ren and Rey are somehow related by blood. The Star Wars universe is small enough without these two characters belonging on the same family tree...although them both having Skywalker blood in their veins would explain why Rey can hold her own in a lightsaber duel with no training. I'll be happy to be wrong if this is the case and Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson nails the reveal (provided that he's the one tasked with revealing it)."

Får vi reda på mer om Rey i VIII? Är hon Luke Skywalkers dotter eller är hon Han Solos dotter och därmed Kylos syrra?
