SPOILER ALERT" Reincarnation - Theory on youtube

I've seen a few videos speculating on the identity of Rey from the New Star Wars. They're on youtube, you may look them up (have spoilers). The theory on her being THE CHOSEN ONE reincarnated are quite compelling with regards to the plot, and make a lot of sense. Basically, they argue that the Chosen One / Anakin returns, sort of like Krishna promises he will in Bhagavad Gita 4:7-8, time and time again to rebalance the Force. Any thoughts?

That is very interesting. It makes sense on a couples levels, such as how touching Anakin's/Luke's lightsaber brought on a vision. Her natural ability in the Force is also a hint. Then there is Maz Kanata's comment on how she has seen the "same eyes" in different generations of people.

Fascinating Thanks for bringing this up, Blue!

I hope not, that would favor specific beliefs over others, and what I liked about Star Wars is that it doesn't favor a particular tradition.

...I am SO glad I saw the movie recently. Perhaps can we get the title changed in case someone else hasn't?

Or at least move it into the Star Wars sub-forum.

Interesting theory though.

done.

That still leaves the spoiler in the title lol

Personally I took the same things to suggest she is Luke's daughter..

thank you Ren
