Rey looks more like Scmee (Anakins mom) than anyone.

She's Lukes auntie or something.

Rey is Luke's aunt?

That makes sense.

Last night, JJ Abrams said, "Rey's parents are not in 'Episode VII'" and everyone freaked out because that would eliminate Luke and Leia.

He then later clarified that, "What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in 'Episode VII.'" :?

Did he drop a bombshell, and then backpedal? Or is it just JJ spinning shit again?

I would say it was a case of "whoops, I can't explain my comment without revealing a bit about either Rey's past or the story going forward, so I'll try to vague it back up and shut these shitheads who are obsessed with family connections down."
