The narrator discusses a theory about Rey's parents in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He first considers the popular theory that Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter, citing similarities between their stories and a possible family connection. However, he notes that this would go against Jedi rules and might not be the only explanation.
He then explores the possibility that Rey is Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter, pointing out similarities between Rey's actions and Obi-Wan's. However, he also notes that this theory doesn't quite fit with the "Skywalker saga" mentioned by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
The narrator then proposes a new theory: that Rey is the daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa, making her Kylo Ren's sister. He cites several pieces of evidence, including a line from the Force Awakens trailer, Rey's British accent, and a possible connection between Rey and Kylo Ren. He also points out that this theory fits with the "Skywalker saga" and the idea that the story "rhymes."
The narrator then provides three additional pieces of evidence to support this theory: a seating arrangement at a table read, the fact that Carrie Fisher's real-life daughter auditioned for the role of Rey, and a emotional hug between Leia and Rey in the film. He concludes that this theory is the most plausible explanation for Rey's parentage.
