Take for example this: In “The Last Jedi” Rey tells Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) that her family “were nobody.” With Ren adding that “They were filthy junk traders. [They] sold you off for drinking money. They’re dead in a pauper’s grave in the Jakku desert.”  According to Simon Pegg, who seems to be close-knit bud of Abrams’ from “Star Trek” to “Mission: Impossible,” Rey’s family history was supposed to be very different.  Pegg said that Abrams had another plan: “I know what J.J. kind of intended or at least was being chucked around. I think that’s kind of been undone slightly by the last one. There was some talk of a relevant lineage for her,” Pegg said. By “relevant lineage,” he surely means to say “belongs to some other recognizable member of the universe.” Johnson nixed it. No wonder Mark Hamill’s been quite vocal with his disapproval to the media. Contribute Hire me
