After Devouring the Rise of Skywalker Trailers, We Have Some Questions and Theories

Despite Rian Johnson attempting to shut down any further debate on Rey's origins in the previous film, most fans didn't buy Kylo Ren's assured proclamation that Rey came from a couple of anonymous, drunk desert-dwellers. After all, Star Wars is a story about family and generations and making our hero for a new age someone completely unrelated to the previous heroes? Seems a bit odd. But, it's 2019 and we've got new sensibilities and Star Wars' source materials (The Hero With a Thousand Faces) are a bit out of date at this point. So, our options are Rey could be a Skywalker — she had a strong connection to Leia and regarded Han as a father figure — or she also could be something else entirely.
