Daisy Ridley Weighs in on ‘Star Wars’ Rey Parentage Controversy

Should Rey have been a nobody orphan or the granddaughter of the ultimate Sith Lord? Here’s what Daisy Ridley thinks on the whole Rey kerfuffle:

What was interesting about the last one, for me, was that you can be a hero and not come from anywhere or you can be a hero and come from literally the worst person in the universe. You’re not your parents, you’re not your grandparents, you’re not your bloodline and you’re not the generations before you.

“I do love the version of, you can be anyone you want to be,” Ridley also said, “but I also love the version where you can rectify wrongs and can’t help what you’re born into.” Who is right here? Well, until some other writer comes along and retcons all of this, Abrams is right; that’s the version that was filmed last and that’s the version that remains the official part of continuity. But Ridley’s comments underscore why it was clearly not easy to decide just what to do with Rey; there are valid reasons for either explanation of her background. And regardless, it’s all pretty much irrelevant now.
