The last time we saw her character she was with Luke Skywalker.

British actress Daisy Ridley was introduced as Rey in last year’s Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. She will reprise the role in Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is expected to be released December 15 next year.

The star said she thought it was obvious who her character’s parents were even from watching The Force Awakens.

“I thought a lot was answered in The Force Awakens,” she said.

“Then after the screening I went for a drink with my agent and everyone, and we were chatting away and I realised that oh, in their minds it’s not answered at all.”

But she stil refused to reveal who they actually are.

Ridley told Time Out: “I think curiosity is a wonderful thing. And I do find it quite funny that people keep asking about it. Just yesterday a guy asked to take a picture with me, and went ‘Is Luke your Dad?’ And I was like, ‘Chill out, you’ll see.’

“I’d love to see the look on people’s faces [when they find out]. But with answers come more questions, and there’s definitely going to be enough to keep people going for another two years.”

Episode VII director JJ Abrams previously appeared to rule out either Luke Skywalker, General Leia (formerly Princess Leia) or Han Solo being a parent of Rey. However, Ridley recently heavily suggested that the mystery will be revealed in 2017’s Episode VIII.

“We will see in a year. Just sit tight on that question,” she added.

There has also been a suggestion that new character Jyn Erso, who will make her debut in spin-off film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, could hold the key to Rey’s parenthood.
