    But are Rey's parents nobodies? I don't think so.

I really, really hope you're wrong about this. To me, one of the high points of the movie was smashing the idea that you have to be born into power to be worth anything. The previous 7 movies are about two sets of nobility fighting it out, whereas this one started to hint that maybe it's time to move on from this. It was basically populist Star Wars; the whole point was that "legends" were dangerous.
