Highly doubt it given no mention of his family at all during the movies. Plus, given why Anakin turned to the dark side, Obi-Wan probably would avoid relationships of any kind.
Well, ben was isolated for 20 something years and there was no jedi order. And it wasn't specifically having a relationship that lead anakin to the dark side. Take episode 2, he killed a bunch of guys out of sheer rage and that was before he was with padme. And I think obi wan had a secret girlfriend in the clone wars animated series as well.
yeah....i think leah having twins is a better way of explaining rey's heritage.
However behind all of that was sidious manipulation. Anakin fell for it and ended up on the dark side. It's not like having a family specifically causes jedi to fall to the dark side. There is even a jedi master who remains canonical and had a family during the prequel trilogy (though that was revealed through other sources).
Where is the evidence for Obiwan ever having children? I think there might be something to her being related to him, but not Luke....I think that's a bit too much.
There isn't much, it is just a theory. For me it would be weird if she wasn't related to luke... Does it make sense that a non skywalker has that much power in the force? Of course, being a skywalker is not necessarily all there is to being a powerful jedi but in turn it should be important considering there is a biological aspect to the whole thing. Rey being as powerful as she is in the force would make sense if she is from a bloodline of people with particularly high connection to the force. I think there is a clue to rey not being luke's daughter though. No one seems to be aware of it. Wouldn't han and leia had know rey? unless luke kept her hidden from them. Which he did to an extent at least considering he was the one who left her apparently. But its one thing to hide someone elses kid and another entirely to hide it from your family while you are with them.
It is, but I'm not so keen on that idea, honestly. I wouldn't want Rey to be related to a Skywalker, feels to cliched and SW novel-like.
Sidious manipulated Anakin, but did Obi Wan know that? While having a family doesn't cause a Jedi to fall to the dark side, the worry and fear could. Anakin worried for Padme and feared losing her, so Sidious had an easier time manipulating her. when his mom died due to the Jawas (?), Anakin was pissed off and killed them in cold blood.
It does make sense. I don't know if this is canon, but a Force-sensitive being can be born to parents who are not at all sensitive to the Force. Anakin doesn't count though, he was likely created by Plagueis or Palpatine.
Aside from sort of filling the same role as Luke did in the original, I don't think she needs to be related to Luke. People are a bit too obsessed with linking every new character to someone in the original story. I saw people trying to say that Finn is Lando's son, etc. I think people are taking a big leap just because we know Kylo is a Solo. I think if she's related to anyone, it's Obiwan. There are too many clues there, and none of them really apply to Luke. Her being related to Obiwan is enough of a reason for her being force sensitive (if that's even really a requirement).
Well, she definitely doesn't need to be a skywalker to be force sensitive but I would argue the sheer extent to which she was force sensitive is unusual. How many force powers did she show without having a speck of force training? It's definitely skywalker levels of talent. She was using what I understand is usually advanced skills... If she is related to obi wan then the implication is that she is his granddaughter or grandniece perhaps... in which case her mom is entirely age appropriate for luke. Also, it does seem to be the case that luke was the one who left her behind (we saw the robot arm). To me luke ending up with obi wan's secret daughter makes a fair bit of sense. I admit I would also be disappointed if luke had a family of his own (I liked the EU in that way).
to me obi is way to old to be her father....if she is kylo's age.

Well, it is literally impossible for obi wan to be her dad. ROTJ supposedly happened 30 years before the force awakens right? And rei is probably a teenager. Obi wan "these are not the droids you are looking for" kenobi can probably get some even as a ghost but I don't think the series will be going in that direction lol.to me obi is way to old to be her father....if she is kylo's age.
her parents don't haven't to be luke or leia...but obi died when luke was a teenager basically.

She doesn't need to be a Skywalker to be that strong in the Force. Like, there's no indication that only Skywalkers can be that strong.
You posted what he was gonna say before he did.
Well, that is technically true however in context a force user with that much innate talent is weird. Take anakin, he was a rarity among jedi. Luke also developed uniquely fast, much more than his own father did. You are technically correct, you don't specifically need to be a skywalker to be that strong. However in context only skywalkers have ever been that strong in the force. At least within what we have seen in the movies. Of course, it doesn't rule someone new appearing but we have to consider the skywalkers have "1 in a billion billion billion" levels of talent (or whatever measure applies for the history of an entire galaxy across thousands of years).
just that she has to be a grand of a sort if she was to be related to obi....
to be fair though, we haven't seen any other Force users get much attention, with the exception of Obi Wan, Yoda, and Mace. Hell, even though Palpatine wasn't a Skywalker, he still was one of the most powerful Force users.
She isn't Kylo's age. She's younger than him.
