It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

Man... I just really want something about Rey's parents. They were hyped up so much in these movies... But now? Nothing!

The father is a failed Palpatine clone that escaped. The mother is a nobody. There is nothing more to their stories.
