So...a possible plot for Star Wars: Episode VIII has leaked online, and Comic Book Movies has posted the highlights of what they read. It doesn't look good. Just in case this is the real deal, let me just state the obvious...***POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!!!*** Okay, here we go:
The backstory to Luke and his Jedi being wiped out is that Snoke seduced Kylo and a few of the other students to the dark side and tasked them with killing everyone. Luke and a few others survived, including a young Rey who was subsequently dumped on Jakku by Luke.
Rey's mom died in the attack.
Rey is pissed at Luke because she guesses that he was her father and is angry at him for abandoning her. Luke turns to her and says "No, you are my father".
Yes, really.
Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker. Luke went to the first Jedi temple to better understand how the process works. He learned that the spirit of the chosen one is reincarnated by the Force every time the universe is thrown out of balance, which apparently happens on a semi-regular basis (Anakin was hardly the first time the chosen one reincarnated). This is why she's so crazy powerful with the Force (remember that Anakin blew up the Trade Federation donut ship by himself when he was like 8 years old).
Rey was the product of a virgin birth, but midichlorians aren't mentioned (Luke says "you are a child of the Force").
Luke is hesitant to train her because, according to Jedi history, the chosen one always struggles with staying on the light side of the Force because of the chaotic power running through them. He's afraid that she could become Vader 2.0. If he trains her to fight Kylo, and she turns dark, she would do way more damage to the galaxy than Kylo could ever dream of doing.
He ultimately trains her anyway and leaves everything up to the Force. He makes this decision in a scene where he confers with the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda (Ewan MacGregor and Frank Oz come back).
Rey learns lightsaber skills, Force skills, and has a vision quest thing where she talks with Maz Kanata (unsure if it’s telepathy or just a dream) and Hayden Christenson. The latter tells her that she is him, but different, and there’s a quick scene where we see hundreds of other Force ghosts who are implied to be past chosen ones.
Sigh...It's so bad that I'm inclined to believe that George Lucas himself had a hand in writing this thing. It kind of clears up something from the first trailer for The Force Awakens. In one of the first trailers we got, Luke is speaking over a bunch of different scenes, and in it he says that the Force is strong in his family. He has it, his father has it, his sister has it, and then states that whoever he's talking to has it as well. When he spoke of his father, he used the present tense, not past as if he were dead. This could be the reason why. So I guess that Rey is like the Dalai Lama of the Force.
