Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now six weeks or so away from hitting theaters and Disney and Lucasfilm are doing everything they can to keep a tight lid on what's to come in this highly anticipated release. However, Adam Driver - who plays Kylo Ren - may have now dropped a major spoiler for the movie.
The mystery surrounding Rey's parentage has been a huge talking point since the release of The Force Awakens but Driver's remarks about the character may shed some light on where she comes from.
"I remember the initial conversations about having things ‘skinned’, peeling away layers to evolve into other people, and the person Kylo’s pretending to be on the outside is not who he is. He’s a vulnerable kid who doesn’t know where to put his energy, but when he puts his mask on, suddenly, he’s playing a role. JJ had that idea initially and I think Rian took it to the next level. You have, also, the hidden identity of this princess who’s hiding who she really is so she can survive and Kylo Ren and her hiding behind these artifices."
Did Driver just confirm that Rey is actually a princess? It certainly sounds that way and that could mean she's the daughter of Leia and is Kylo's sister. There are, of course, other royal families in the Star Wars Universe so her origins may also lie elsewhere. Either way, these comments are definitely intriguing.
It's widely believed that we'll get answers about who Rey's parents are in The Last Jedi and that Snoke's identity will be revealed in Episode IX. What do you guys think? Share your theories in the usual place.
