Can't believe no one is saying that Han & Leia had twins and Rey is their daughter. I assumed this was the case from the instant I saw that there would be a young female protagonist in Ep7. I am surprised the movie wasn't upfront about that being the case.
The novels had twins, it fits with some of the scenes. The only part they have to explain is why she was left on Jakku, but it won't be hard to come up with an explanation. It's basically what happened to Luke (left on the desert planet), so there's no reason to think they wouldn't copy that the way they copied everything else.
I did mention the possibility of being Han/Leias kid to stick with the EU. The reason for leaving her is really easy to come up with, she and Ren were both with Luke when they were young for training, Ren went to the dark side, and Luke hid Rey to protect her.
