We've seen all sorts of theories with regards to who Rey's parents are in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and who, exactly, left her on the planet Jakku to live out her days as a scavenger only to be whisked away on a new adventure on board Han Solo's Millennium Falcon

We've written about one of our favorite fan theories, which goes in depth on why Rey is Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter, and we've heard everything from she's Han and Leia's daughter to a descendant of Emperor Palpatine to some sort of Force twin of Anakin Skywalker. However, the most obvious answer may actually be the one that's correct: Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter.

A new video from YouTuber The Stupendous Wave goes into greater detail as to why Rey is Luke's kid, citing numerous clues throughout The Force Awakens. Watch it below.

 

One thing we really like about this theory is Kylo Ren's involvement in Rey's placement on Jakku. The fact that Rey may have been trained alongside Kylo at the start by Luke -- which would explain why she's suddenly so good at everything from fighting to flying -- and how Kylo would've brought her to Jakku as a way of getting her out of the mix is not only a fascinating concept, but also one that adds color to Kylo's character. 

Kylo Ren knows who she is -- and that's evident in the film -- but she doesn't know who he is. As the video states, perhaps he wiped her memories away in an attempt to protect her and keep her from growing up to become the sort of Jedi leader Luke once was. It also makes sense in terms of all of the Star Wars movies following the Skywalker family -- and how Rey and Kylo would represent both the good and evil we've seen from this family throughout the seven movies thus far.

So as cool as that Obi-Wan theory is, it's videos like these that make it easy for us to admit that, yup, it's very likely Rey is Luke's kid. And while that's the most obvious answer, it's also the one that creates a more compelling relationship between what appears to be this new trilogy's two main characters.

But what do you think? Is this video the most accurate explanation you've seen yet? Or are there better theories out there?
