Could Obi-Wan Kenobi Be Rey's Father? 
(SPOILERS AHEAD)

By Eli Solidum
December 27th, 2015

For some reason, the biggest question in the aftermath The Force Awakens has been “who is Rey’s father?” The original trilogy dropped the biggest plot twist on us when Darth Vader revealed himself to be Luke’s father, and now everyone is going crazy over who Rey’s father is. Everyone wants to be able to say “I told you so” when Luke or Han or Jar Jar Binks turns out to be Rey’s father. However, while Luke is the most obvious choice, and even Han has a sliver of possibility of being her father, people are now pointing to the Kenobi formerly known as Obi-Wan as the prime suspect. While it is yet to be determined (if ever, because let’s face it, is Rey’s father really integral to the story?) we came up with a case arguing for and against Obi-Wan as the father.

Possibility 2 of 3:
Obi-Wan, you are not the father

Let’s start with the facts. The Force Awakens takes place over 30 years after Return of the Jedi. Four years prior to Return of the Jedi, Ben Kenobi met his end in A New Hope. Obi-Wan was 59 years old when he died, meaning that unless he had a much younger lover, he would have had Rey at least 10 or 15 years before he died. It is possible that in the 20ish years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope that Obi-Wan found himself a lover and abandoned the Jedi code of celibacy, however, that would mean that Rey is in her 40’s or early 50’s. If that’s the case, she looks great for her age. Mathematically, Obi-Wan cannot be Rey’s father. Even if he was, that would create more plot holes than it fills. What happened to Obi-Wan’s wife? Did Obi-Wan even know he had a kid? If so, why would he abandon her? Conclusion: Obi-Wan is not the father…. Buuuuuuuuuut what if….
