Is There Something To That Popular 'Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker' Theory?

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING If it’s time for the Jedi to end, does that mean it’s also time for the Skywalkers to begin? Theory 1: In “Rise of Skywalker,” the Jedi will be replaced by Skywalkers It’s the most popular theory heading into the final movie. “They come up with the most amazing, inventive theories, and I think it shows their intelligence and their love and their association with George Lucas’ product, his film, his saga that we are going to so honor with, ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ — whatever that means.” Theory 2: Rey is a clone The “Rey is a clone” theory has been an idea floating around for years. Sure, in “Last Jedi” Kylo Ren claims that Rey’s parents are just no-name junk traders, but the director of that film, Rian Johnson, previously told HuffPost that Rey’s parentage is still open. “Before ‘The Force Awakens’ came out and before ‘The Last Jedi’ came out, I too would check fan sites to see what was going on and if anybody knew anything about ‘Star Wars,’ about what was happening,” he said.

"The Last Jedi" threw those …
