VIDEO : J.J. Abrams Says Don't Go Watching 'The Force Awakens' For Hints Of Who Rey's Parents Are

There is many an online theory attempting to get to the bottom of who exactly Rey's parents are, but Director J.J. Abrams just threw a big wrench into a few of them. The Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens director spoke about it during a Q&A at the Tribeca Film Festival, where a young fan asked: "Who are Rey's parents?" After joking with the fan, he then dropped a small bombshell, saying:"Rey's parents are not in Episode VII. So I can't possibly say in this moment who they are. But I will say it is something that Rey thinks about, too." That eliminates a few suspected candidates, including the big one in Luke Skywalker. Luckily the Obi-Wan Kenobi theory is still possible, but Abrams didn't stop there.
