Now,The Last Jediwill finally address the question that fans have been debating for two years.
This article, obviously, wont spoil anything.
The theory Im holding onto isstill this one.

To me, its important insofar as its important to her, Johnson says.
And I think its important to her in terms of what is her place in all of this?
Whats going to define her in this story?
She was told in the last movie that the answers not in the past; its looking forward.
But shes showing up on this island to talk to this hero from the past.
In that way, Johnson says Rey does need to know.
(And so do we.)
This is where you are.
I think she still holds onto the thought that where she comes from will help define where shes going.
ONCE WAS LOST
Ridley says Rey will ultimately find the answer and discover that itdoesntmatter that much.
It wont change who she is, or at least who she wants to be.
Anakin Skywalker had a loving mother but became the galactic warlord Darth Vader.
Luke and Leia are the children of Vader but have fought tirelessly for good and decency.
Family gives you the starting point, but the destination is a matter of choice.
But ultimately whats coming is coming, and whatever abilities she has are there.
So, personally, I think its less important than even she may think.
There is always potential to change for better and for worse.
Theres always room for bad people to make good decisions and vice versa.
He was a child soldier, taken from wherever he was from and conscripted into their fascist military operation.
He didnt even have a name, just numerals and a number: FN-2187.
Will we find out more about Finns family?
Yeah, definitely, Boyega tells EW.
But itsnotexplored in depth inEpisode VIII.
But he definitely has a past that is troubled.
I dont know how all thats going to play out.
Sounds like more about Finn may be forthcoming inEpisode IX.
But the actor suggested thatThe Last Jediwill explore the charactersrecenthistory.
Im also very curious.
We will find out just a little bit more about him.
NEXT UP: Tales from the Dark Side where willThe Last Jedifind Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma?
(And a mourning Chewie?)
