One of the most debated aspects of the latest "Star Wars" trilogy is who Rey's parents are. The director said that question is going to be addressed in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," but it won't likely be a simple address where they just tell who they are specifically.

According to a report from Game Spot, director Rian Johnson said in an interview with "Good Morning America" that the parentage of the Daisy Ridley's character will finally be addressed in the latest movie. Johnson, though, stopped himself from providing too much detail about Rey's parentage.

The report said that Johnson wanted fans to be surprised with the twists in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" so he wants to keep most of the secrets and let the viewers learn about it when they watch the movie. "How we address [Rey's parentage] and how you feel about it and what happens with that is one of them," he said.

It wasn't the first time that "Star Wars Episode VIII" was teased to reveal more about Rey's parentage, as Ridley herself said so last year. Johnson adds that a big part of the movie's story will be about the "deepening familial theme."

However, addressing Rey's parentage in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" won't be as simple as fans think it would be, according to /Film. Rey's parentage has no easy explanation, as hinted by Johnson in the interview.

The report said that what Johnson likely meant when he said Rey's parentage will be addressed is that fans might get to learn about who the parents are, without specifically knowing who they are. What this means is that the parents of Ridley's character will be hinted at the movie, but they won't actually be revealed per se.

Whether this is what will really happen in the movie is anyone's guess. With "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" still months away from premiering, fans will just have to keep on speculating about Rey's parents. Check out the latest trailer for "Star Wars Episode VIII" in the video below.
