Some of my Stupid Reylo Head canons
These are just head canons. What Disney / LF does with the GFFA is distinct from what I imagine regarding their IP.
* We are receiving the story via transmission from the gffa. It is being translated for us by protocol droids. Oftentimes, they will substitute words that are common in our language for items in their galaxy. So, it’s the Millennium Falcon. Are there Earth falcons in the gffa? Probably not, but this is the closest translation the droid can come up with.
* Rey’s mom was Alderaanian and Rey’s full name is Tonirey. It’s like calling your kid Brandy.
* Rey never wore a dress that she remembers. Maybe her Mom put her in a dress when she was really small but she’s only worn slacks since she was dropped off at Jakku.
* Leia never intended to send Ben to Luke’s Academy but he accidentally read another senator’s mind and Leia had to get him away from Chandrila until he learned how to manage his powers. She wanted him back. Luke saw how powerful Ben was and expected that he would eventually lead the new temple. Luke & Leia disagreed on this part but she trusted that Luke would do the right thing for her son.
* It wasn’t Luke in TRoS on Ahch-To. This is why he didn’t mention the dyad, why he said that both he and Leia knew she was the granddaughter of Palpatine. Why he looked unusual. It was Palps, doing to Rey what he’d done to Ben, but since Ahch-To is on a vergence he had the power to create visions instead of just voices.
* Leia, Han and Luke weren’t horrible parents/ uncle but they didn’t realize that Palps was talking to Ben - the greatest Sith manipulator of all time can certainly influence a little boy to believe that his parents didn’t care.
* Luke was also affected by Palp’s manipulations - I believe that Palps created a subtle series of events - like contacting Ben while he was training so Luke sensed the dark around Ben and ending with a full out vision that turned our hero into a hermit.
(In other words, it was Palpatine all along.)
