Maybe Rey will turn out to be a Bridger.
Preferred Viewing Order
- Thread starter M.A.C.O.
- Start date
Not likely given Daisy Ridley's ethnicity. Even less likely given the odds of Ezra surviving the next season of Rebels, let alone the next decade in-universe are pretty slim IMO.
I used to think you had to watch all 6 chronologically. Changed my mind now that the 2 most recent films have come out.
Now I think the order should be:
1-OT
2-PT
3-RO
4-Ep7
Watching RO right after Ep3 brings the viewer back full circle to Ep4. While I feel you need some distance between Ep6 and Ep7 to have maximum dramatic effect.

That's a good idea. I had pondered RO's location in a viewing order for months now. I'm not the biggest fan of RO, but all should be counted somehow.
As to the previous page's talk of who Rey could potentially be related too. Join Team Rey Is A Kenobi.
Obi-Wan broke his Jedi vows while in isolation and sired some heirs.
That really wouldn't fit with his character. A more likely route would have been way back when he was a Padawan cooped up for a year protecting a certain Mandalorian Duchess.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Lucas has specifically said that there's no such thing as Jedi vow of celibacy. The prohibition is against personal attachments, not physical relations. If nothing else, it'd be pretty anthropocentric if they did.

Ah, the Duchess Satine. Not to be confused with the beautiful courtesan Satine from Moulin Rouge. Which Ewan McGregor also played a role in.
But there is a 20 year gap from the end of EPIII and EPIV.
Rey has parents who abandoned her on Jakku. I forget who said it, either Abrams or Kennedy, but it was stated that Rey's isolation is a key to who she is. As Obi-Wan was isolated on Tattooine for 2 decades himself.
If Kylo Ren is the Skywalker of the story, it would make sense for him to play off a member of the Kenobi Clan.
I like that a lot better than the "Rey is a female clone of the emperor" theory.
Yeah, but there's this weird thing that happens when the offspring of two people eventually have offspring of their own. Even weirder, sometimes that offspring also eventually has offspring and on and on it goes.
For the record though, I don't believe Rey is a Kenobi. Just that if she were, it'd only make sense from a character/storytelling point of view if she were also a descendent of Satine.
Don't think she's a Skywalker either for that matter, but again if she were then the route I'd go is suppose that Shmi wasn't an only child, or Anakin wasn't her first born.

Mind you I am a proponent of both being correct. That she's potentially both Obi-wan's granddaughter (or great-granddaughter depending on things.) and Anakin's granddaughter. Luke being drawn someone with powerful Force potential is in line with the whole, Will of the Force, concept. Besides, who doesn't want a part-Mando Jedi running around?
Well you get that just by being a Kenobi and a Kryze. Adding Skywalker into the mix seems a little bit much, all things considered.
For me, the idea that Luke is her father simply doesn't fit the facts. The situation with Ben and the new temple's destruction was only in the last five or so years. Rey was abandoned at least a decade prior to that, presumably when Luke's endeavour was thriving. Rey always refers to her family as a plurality, as if she was old enough at the time to retain at least a vague memory of more than one parent. So the notion that Luke's theoretical partner may have stolen off with her wouldn't track either. And then there's Leia; given Rey's age when she was dumped, there's no way Leia (and indeed Han) wouldn't have known about her and there's zero evidence of that in the movie.
