One of the popular rumors for the upcoming "Star Wars Episode 8" is that female protagonist Rey may find out her lineage and who she really is. A popular fan theory speculates that Rey is actually the daughter of Luke Skywalker.
In a report with Movie Pilot, actor Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, teased that the popular fan theory might not be true. The website said that the actor interacts with "Star Wars" fans on a regular basis on Twitter. Hamill is also known to give subtle hints regarding "Star Wars Episode 8."
Hamill was asked by a fan regarding Luke's sexuality, to which Hamill did not confirm or deny. There came the subject on the characters of the franchise coming out as having an LGBT relationship.
The actor simply said that "sexuality is never directly addressed in the film" and that Luke Skywalker's sexuality was open to the audience's interpretation. Because of this, the website said that Rey might not be Luke's daughter. While there is no confirmation as of now as to what Rey's lineage is so this might be a possiblity.
Cinema Blend reported that it is also possible that Rey might be Han Solo and Leia's daughter.
The website said that this might be the reason why Han Solo almost immediately warms up to Rey when he sees her. Han Solo might also want to make up for the years that he has not seen her and made her a crew of the Millennium Falcon.
There are also some theories that Rey is a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi. There are very little clues as to who Rey's parents are and until then, fan theories are abound.
"Star Wars Episode 8" opens in theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.
