Moving on, Rey's character has been a mystery the entire film but, based on the flashback that happened in the story, it would seem that her parents were very influential and the type that no one could mess with.
Rey's link to the force is so strong and it is among the reasons why her roots could be powerful as expected. Her lineage is a mystery and it would take for the release of the next installment before fans could find out where did she really come from.
