I still think he might have been lying to her – Beltainefaerie's Flights of Fancy

moghedien:

The point is that Rey had a terrible upbringing with unimportant, awful parents who left her alone in the middle of no where, yet still managed to be a good person and a hero who is worthy of legend.

That point is contrasted by a villain that had a good upbringing with a good family and an incredible lineage and still managed to be an awful piece of shit who refuses to be a good person, even when the choice is given to him in a manner that would require him to make up for none of his past crimes.

If that goes over your head so much to where you’re convinced the story can’t make sense without Rey coming from some bullshit idea lineage, I don’t know what to tell you.
