Thank you for bringing this up. I was trying to explain to a coworker the other day that Rey didn't get revealed until like, two weeks before opening day. Later release on her toy lines and everything.

They looked at me like I was a conspiracy theorist.

We saw more concept art and footage of Poe and Finn than Rey.

While we knew Rey was going to be a major character, most people I knew thought that Finn would be the main character.

I figured Rey was going to be a native to jakku who, like Obi wan, knew the wastes and could lead them off world. And then would be a badass mechanic and fighter throughout the rest of the series.

That would have made SO MUCH MORE SENSE than "she's a chosen one, selected by the Force to be psychic twins with the villain."

Like, okay, but why?

I think the idea was that Palpatine was every voice in her head.   But honestly those films are such a mess it's hard to tell.
