They want to have a competent Jedi duo vs an army of evillegal Sith by the second movie, so they wave the magic wand on Rey. What is worse is the implications of Luke being both her father and a deadbeat daddy who didn't know he had a daughter, likely for contrived stupid reasons. Trust me, fictional franchises don't tend to go into complicated or risky territory, so Rey is likely Luke's daughter given that the Lightsaber just chooses her over his Luke's nephew because he is more closely related as her father, plus the pattern of Anakin to Luke is already father to son, and the focus of the movies is already all about the Skywalkers family as the focus.Ben L.
