Star Wars actor Simon Pegg confirms that J.J. Abrams originally had different plans for the reveal of Rey’s parents.
Even composer John Williams thinks there’s more to Rey’s parents than The Last Jedi let on, and now Pegg has confirmed that there originally was.
Before Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrived, the nature of Abrams’ mystery box mentality led fans to spend two years speculating on the backstory of Snoke and the potential lineage of Rey.
I think that’s kind of been undone slightly by [The Last Jedi].
