'Star Wars' Reddit Fan Proposes Theory About Rey's Family

Now that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is only a few weeks way, fans are getting excited to get answers.

One particular theory, posted by Reddit user The_Playboy, is making the rounds.

This person proposes that Rey (Daisy Ridley) is actually royalty.

“The royalties played always large part in the Star Wars universe,” he/she writes. “In the prequel era there were thousands of star systems with monarchic government. Before the Galactic Empire, many planets (for example Naboo, Mandalor, Lasan) were ruled by royal families.”

The user continues, “I think Rey is from a royal family, from a planet unknown to the audience. The First Order invaded Rey’s homeworld, and wiped them out. Maybe a group of loyal guards escaped with the young Rey, and left her on Jakku for her own safety.”

Of course, this is all conjecture. A lot of fans believe the Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) character in Rogue One will turn out to be Rey’s mother.

We’ll find out more when the film hits theaters on December 16!
