Star Wars 8 The Last Jedi SHOCK: Does THIS prove that Rey is Leia’s daughter?

Since The Force Awakens was released in 2015, fans have been wondering just who Rey’s parents could be.

Earlier this week it was revealed that Billie Lourd, the daughter of the late Carrie Fisher, auditioned for the role of Rey.

Fisher was, of course, Leia in the original trilogy and reprised the role in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi before her death last year.

With her daughter’s audition in mind, could this mean that Rey is in fact Leia and Han Solo’s daughter?

This would make her Rey Solo, the sister of Kylo Ren, and would make sense of her connection to the Skywalker lightsaber – thanks to her mother’s bloodline.

Perhaps Billie wasn’t chosen because being Carrie’s daughter would give the game away about Rey being Leia’s daughter?

In the end Billie ended up playing a smaller role opposite her mother in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi as Lieutenant Kaydel Jo Connix.

Billie said: “JJ Abrams called me to come in for Star Wars because he couldn’t find anyone for the lead – he ended up finding Daisy Ridley who’s an incredible actress, so talented.

“I went in and he ended up giving me a tiny role with a couple of lines and I was super excited.”

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi will be released in UK cinemas on December 14, 2017.
