Just to clarify, because I haven't been reading many theories so I don't actually know what most people think--do people think Rey was left on Jakku for her own safety? That was the vibe I thought the movie was definitely trying to get us to think. Like, her parents or guardians or whoever was in charge of her knew that the force was strong with that one, figured she would be important for the future of the universe, and didn't want her to get kidnapped/assassinated/recruited to the dark side, so they stashed her on a backwater planet and told nobody, figuring that would keep her the safest. Like, I was certain that was the reading we were supposed to get from the film. I can't even see it any other way.
Also, is Finn supposed to be force sensitive? Does it matter? (I suppose if he's Mace Windu's relative? But I really don't want this to turn into a "black people are all related" thing.)
