Finally saw something that is a PERFECT theory of:
Who Rey's father is...
Who left her on Jakku....
Why people don't recognize her.....
etc.
Wish I could find the link....
SPOILER ALERT.......if the below is right, may spoil the reveal for you.....
Luke is Rey's father. Star Wars has always been about the Skywalkers, and her connection to the lightsaber, reaction of Luke, etc. support this.
So why did he leave her on Jakku? He didn't. He thought she was killed along with the others by the Knights of Rynn. Kylo saves her from this fate, and he took her to Jakku, to basically take her out of the game, without killing his cousin. Presumably, he mind-wiped her too, which may be what hid her from Luke's detection. He may have even stolen the Falcon to do so. (hiding the theft through those proxies Han recites)
She would have been way younger the last time Han and Leia saw her (plus, they likely thought she was dead also). So that's why they didn't recognize her.
This apparent death would explain why Luke took himself out of it. A LOT of guilt. (and why Han and Leia would know not to look for him).
The YouTube vid goes into it in better detail, but this is the essence of it, and it makes a LOT of sense.
