"The hero that doesnt need to come from somebody special"

was the coolest thing star wars has done since "i am your father"

It betrayed nothing and I hate talking about this because clearly i feel passionate about it being as it stands after the last jedi. It was fantastic.

Oh I don’t need her to be from some powerful Jedi parents.

I just want her to be given and answer. The truth. And us too.

Why can't we just leave it as Kylo having told her the truth? Its fucking beautiful and brilliant.

Exactly. If she is saying that it isn't the truth, then clearly they have plans for her lineage that is more than just "two nobodys". Which sucks. They don't need to tie this any further into Skywalker lore. I like how it is now.

It just seems like fan service at this point. People aren't happy with the explanation in the last movie, so they are fixing it

Sure, but we dont like it. Its very...."basic" if you will. Its the obvious choice/answer for Kylo to manipulate her and its a very obvious choice to make Rey a child of someone powerful. Riann Johnson took a risk, a leap of faith, and to change it does feel like fan service as Ruddo stated above.

Lucas, at the time, took a major risk and pivot to something far more powerful and unique for a villain to make him the father of our hero.

Make Star Wars risky again!

The way they left it after TLJ would be the worst solution for her. I really hope she finds out more in TROS.

Even without what daisy said about it it would be horrible to leave it dangling like that. Narratively too.

Nothing is dangling though. "Sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You come from nothing"

That is very concrete. I love it.
