Rey’s true identity has been a lingering question even before The Force Awakens hit theaters, and it is now confirmed that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be addressing this mystery.
The Force Awakens did little to address her backstory, only that she was left on Jakku at a young age.
GMA asked director Rian Johnson point blank whether or not fans will discover who Rey’s parents are.
That still may not be the case, but Rey’s heritage is 100 percent going to be addressed.
