Yup, Daisy actually said that. For a whole year we’ve been debating about who could have left Rey on Jakku at the tender age of five. But the answer had been provided for us even before the release of TFA in cinemas.
We’ve been speculating on whether she was left there by strangers, kidnappers, other members of her alleged family or people who were ordered to kill her. But according to Daisy, Rey was abandoned by none other than her own parents. Not one parent but both parents. This also means that her parents are totally aware of her existence because they were the ones that abandoned her.
This is the full quote:
“Rey’s parents left her at 5. We meet her when she’s in her late teens, early 20s.”
The full article is here. It was published on the 11th of December 2015
Well, the most important thing we can take away from this is that there’s no way either Luke or Leia would ‘leave’ a child of theirs to a life of misery and then completely forget about her existence. Therefore, there is no way that Rey is their daughter/niece
DAISY’S BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE DAY 1
