If they rehash Empire I will be very upset.
She does seem to be someone that we will know about in a reveal though.

Rey in The Force Awakens (Possible Spoilers)
- Thread starter Captain Nebula
- Start date
Who else was waiting for a hand-captitation during every fight scene.
I thought Rey was going to chop Kylo's hand off.
"Let's see we already have father issues out the wazoo, an even bigger ball we named killer star HAHA GET IT LIKE THE DEATH STAR AND WE BLOW IT UP.. and uhh.. another hand chop might be too much."
My thought is that if Rey is Luke's daughter, she was hidden away when Luke's academy was destroyed by Kylo...but this time Luke had the sense to NOT put his offspring onto his homeworld using her own real last name...
Right now I'm a little more convinced that she's Luke's daughter as well.
Prequel Trilogy - Anakin Skywalker
Original Trilogy - Luke Skywalker
Sequel Trilogy - "Rey" Skywalker
I look forward to her evolution as a character. If past trends are anything to go by, she'll move away from the sweet innocent-looking girl we saw and become something fiercer, complete with darker clothing.
They might even give her a new kind of lightsaber. Will it be a take on the staff she already has? Will it be a flaming saber like Kylo Ren's? Will it be a new color like white or yellow? Can't wait to see. Whatever happens, I don't imagine more of the same old.

The other day I was watching a clip of an old Shaw Brothers kung fu movie that had a nunchuck-lightsaber thing in a Star Wars ripoff scene. Rey needs something like that.

^ I imagine something like that being hard to handle.
This guy cheats a bit by grabbing the actual blades and putting them in contact with his clothes...

They really made a point when she found that lightsaber that it belonged to Luke and his father before him, now it was calling to her. It at least implied that she was part of that heritage. I really don't think it would call to her if it were some random Jedi's lightsaber instead of one with a family connection.
^ That makes sense too. Last night when I saw the movie I thought she might be Han and Leia's daughter.
There is also the little fact that she has had recurrent dreams of a group of islands in the middle of an ocean, and where was Skywalker in the end? A group of islands (just off the Irish coast) in an ocean.
It was found somehow?
I was thinking the same thing. If the Empire found it, the hand would presumably have been found with it. And so the Emperor could simply clone Luke and forget trying to convert him in Jedi. The Emperor could then kill Luke and Vader replace them with a Luke's clone. But then if that were the case he could have done that with Vader after ROTS. Unless of course if it turns out the force is not always hereditary. Which would also kill the PT Midichlorians. Unless the force directs them to when they would multiply more in a specific host. My head is spinning now. They should have left the why certain people have it a mystery.
I haven't heard anything about if Leia ever learned to use it.
Sorry that I don't know where but it is apparently covered in one of the many books leading up to TFA.

I also believe Santa The Hutt's reasoning is valid.
It's all about dem Skywalkers.
Someone dug it out of the garbage of Cloud City. It got sold around and ended up with Maz. She keeps a huge collection of this stuff (and leaves everything unlocked!) Relics from the OT appear to be in high demand during the ST. But it is the connection to Luke - that's why it is so valuable to Kylo Ren.

Luke Skywalker. But I would also accept Ben Kenobi, every though we know that's 'impossible'.

I know many won't like this, but I think it would be an interesting twist if she was related to Palpatine.
I was expecting some dialog between Luke and Rey at the end explaining where she came from, based on the "you have that power too" voice-over from the trailers. But that conversation never happened.
The "hope is not lost today" line wasn't spoken in the movie, either.

Well I think Kylo Ren is worse than all of those. I mean with some of the Sith names we at least get a meaning, a way that it reveals their character or nature. I'm not saying all the Lucas-era names were great, but I like Lucas-named characters more than what I've seen from TFA so far. Snoke? Seriously? And he's the main bad guy running the show-or so we think at least? Give me a Grevious (the name, not the character) any day over that.
Snoke could mean 'smoke and mirrors' as in trying to look intimidating through a giant hologram.
