I can accept her maternal grandfather.

Otherwise it's not really well......you'll lose the audience there.

You're the grand-daughter of some Jedi that only showed up in the cartoon.

He was in Legends a few times too. He even fell to the dark side during the Clone Wars but was brought back and survived Order 66.

Well still you'd be better off making her a former student of Luke's or a Kenobi than a descendant of a tier 3 Jedi that never showed up in the movies.

He is the only psychometric that came to mind. But I think the most interesting conflict emerges actually from her being Luke's daughter.

'So, dad. Care to explain again why I ended up on a scavenger world in the care of my loving guardian?'

All I know is, my gut says maybe.

There's also the duel between her and Ren for Anakin's legacy.

I like Rey being Luke's daughter but someone brought up something funny that I like here:

"Cut the crap. Are you my father?"

"No....I killed your father."

Snoke: "Rey, I am your father."

Rey: "Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!"

My only issue with the idea that Rey is Obi-Wan's granddaughter is the fact that he doesn't seem like the type to not mention that.

Do you honestly think Obi-Wan would go bang somebody after years of being a Jedi?

Also, Rey being related to him makes way less sense than being a Skywalker (or even a random orphan) from a narrative perspective.

It's a possibility. The desert can be a lonely place....

Obi-Wan's had several love interests through both canon and Legends. He's hardly immune.

Even Qui-Gon had at least one in Legends.

Legends isn't canon anymore.

I know about Satine, but she died and he didn't go through with the relationship.

Obi-Wan actually had several love interests in the EU, the most canon one was Satine from The Clone Wars. He openly admitted that if she asked he would have left the Order to be with her. That is sort of the main caveat to the belief that Jedi can't get married at all, you can't be both a member of the Jedi Order and have commitments to a family.

Although I imagine the hardest thing for him was to not search out people with force potential and train them, especially Luke. I'm wary of this talk of Obi-Wan movies during the period between the OT and the prequels, he probably did more than just sit in a hut but I don't want him to be having a grand adventure just to return to Tattooine at the end. The problem with most prequels is how much they skirt the line to keep canon.

I'll say this for the PT, they actually caught the thing I was most afraid they'd miss: wiping Threepio's mind.

If Rey is a Kenobi then I'd assume she is Obi-Wan's grandniece rather than his granddaughter. IIRC Owen was originally supposed to be Obi-Wan's brother (I believe it's still in Rot J novelization). They can keep the idea of Obi-Wan having a brother and that brother having a granddaughter called Rey.

You'd lose the audience there. She might as well be Rey Random for all anyone will care.
