Who Is Rey's Father?

Who the Hell is Rey's Father? We Narrow It Down to Three Possibilities
(SPOILERS AHEAD)

There is a possibility that Rey’s parents are just your run-of-the-mill, normal moisture farmers, but that would be no fun. She is extremely force-sensitive, insanely powerful, and kinda resembles that Padme girl from a while back. Remember her? Fan theories are fun, and after much speculation, we’ve narrowed it down to three possibilities.

2. Han Solo
Wait. Aren’t Jedi supposed to be celibate? The whole forbidden love thing between Anakin and Padme in the prequels is what led to this whole mess anyway. Luke can’t possibly be the father, right? The way Han immediately took a fatherly role for Rey was no coincidence, and neither was him stumbling upon her and the Millennium Falcon almost immediately after she left Jakku. Han had already felt like he lost his son, why would he risk losing his daughter? He could have been hovering around the Jakku area to keep an eye on Rey. Maybe Rey inherited some good pilot genes from Han, as well. I mean, she piloted the Millennium Falcon skillfully on her first run without a co-pilot. But, does Leia know about Rey? Leia could be Rey’s mother, but to add to the drama, what if Han had another lover after Leia? What if Kylo Ren’s turn to the dark side wasn’t the only thing that drove Leia and Han apart from each other? While it is almost a crime to suggest our hero Han Solo doing something as dishonorable as having an affair, one has to remember that Solo was a scoundrel, a thief, a smuggler, a cheat, etc. Rey could be the child of Han and Leia, Han and someone else, or maybe not.
