Appearing on the classic public radio station KUSC, legendary composer John Williams revealed that he believes that Kylo Ren was lying when he told Rey that her parents were not connected to any of the preceding Jedi/Sith wars from the days of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
"Rey’s parents might be identified to us in the next film," said Williams.
When pressed about Ren's admission (or potential omission depending on how Episode IX plays out) Williams added "I don’t believe it either. Rey, of course, is played by Daisy Ridley, who I so loved in The Force Awakens. And last year, when [Lucasfilm president] Kathy Kennedy rang me up and said, ‘Would you do the last music for The Last Jedi?’ I said to her, ‘Is Daisy in it?’ and she said yes, so I said yes.”
As someone who's been involved with the franchise since its inception in 1977, do you think Williams has an inside knowledge about J.J. Abrams' plans for Episode IX? Abrams will be given free reign to close-out the new trilogy however he sees fit and it's clear in The Force Awakens that he was the setting the stage for Rey to be connected to the Jedi in some form or fashion.
