rey
padmé amidala didnt die for you to ship her grandkids together
While i dont exactly ship Reylo, I’m still holding out hope that Rey is a Palpatine and not a Skywalker
padme amidala didnt die for you to connect her granddaughter to a slimy creature like palpatine
Oh shit, I actually really like that idea? Not because of shipping or anything, but because there’s always been this thing in Star Wars that it’s your blood, primarily, that maps out your destiny (’He has too much of his father in him’ / ‘There’s too much Vader in him’) and it would be really interesting to see Rey buck that trend by being related to pretty much the only person in the Star Wars verse considered irredeemable – and being a decent, kind person anyway.
Also because out of all the characters in Star Wars, Palpatine would probably be the most likely to abandon a little girl in a desert.
… hes fucking dead
Well yes, but – TFA is set what, 30 years after ROTJ? Palpatine could have established a lineage by ROTJ and given whomever who still loyal to him instructions that any grandchildren should be hidden away should anything happen to him (regardless of how shitty that would be for the child, because…this is Palpatine.) I think it works, timeline wise?
(Although that bit was more of a joke really.)
It won’t happen in the movies, I really doubt that, but I think it’s a idea with potential at least. Not least because of how much it would test everyone’s relationship to Rey. Finn would still love her, of course, but I can see Leia, maybe even Luke, accidentally wondering from time to time “when will this girl snap?” Rey herself wondering “what am I, do I have the dark side in me too?” and slowly learning that no, of course she doesn’t, because like Finn and Kylo she’s defined by her choices rather than her heritage.
But I don’t really mind who she’s related to really (if anyone). I trust the writers will do it right. Well, mostly.

we were lucky to find some great people, but the truth is, it wasn’t until we found Daisy that we felt like she was capable of doing all of these things this character required. when we brought her in, i asked her to do this one scene from this torture scene, very sort of intense and she just blew my mind. she’s reaching this depth of struggle, and tears are streaming down her face. i thought “this is unbelievable”. and i asked her to stop, take a couple of minutes and do it again, and she just did it again. i thought “oh my god”.
