Update: This gaffe has been laid to rest. You can read the details by clicking here.

Warning: spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens ahead, and some possible spoilers for Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens raised a lot of questions that it didn't answer. Scriptwriter Lawrence Kasdan recently said that there's a story to be told; the mysteries about each hero will eventually unfold in the Episodes VIII and IX. We still don't know who Rey's parents are, or how and why she ended up in Jakku.

But a playthough of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Disney Infinity videogame might have revealed Rey's true identity.

If you really want to know who Rey is, read on...

AngryJoeShow shared a video today that was deleted probably because Disney reached out to him after pointing out this huge revelation from around the 20:30 mark at the walkthrough video from packattack04082 above. At this point, you can hear Kylo Ren tell Rey, "Face me, cousin!"

Although it may come to a suprise to some (since J.J. Abrams' film didn't reveal their familial relationship), many speculated that she is the daughter of Luke Skywalker, who is indeed Kylo Ren's uncle (Ren or Ben Solo, in The Force Awakens, is revealed to have been the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Luke's sister )It was hinted in The Force Awakens, with several context clues and even a line of dialogue that the lightsaber owned by Lightsaber "and his father before him" was "calling out" to Rey. Kylo Ren's line in the game seems to confirm this theory.

It's unlikely that Disney will make an official response about this, but keep in mind that this videogame is an officially-licensed videogame from Disney, so its content is considered canon.

While it's possible enough that the developers of Disney Infinity are operating off an educating guess or that something got mixed up in translation, it seems unlikely. A huge part of the game's appeal was that the creators had broad access to a variety of material to help make the characters in the world of Disney Infinity fit as flawlessly as possible into their source material.

So there, you have it: Rey is Luke's daughter, but until that's officially confirmed in Episode VIII, there's still a possibility that she could be someone else's daughter.

So do you think Rey is really Luke's daughter?
