For the Star Wars fans out there I got a Rey theory. Let me know what you think:
After the Battle of Endor the Empire starts it's quick and brutal decline. At some point the Alliance/New Republic storm some stronghold of the Emperor's only to realize it was either his pleasure Planet or where he kept his relatives or his long time consort. Perhaps a doughter or son and their family. The first ones in on the Rebel side decide that they don't want anyone claiming Palpatine's mantle with some claim to the "throne" as it were. Rogue One certainly showed the ugly side of a galactic revolution so I don't think we can scream too loudly about how such actions reflect on the "good guys". The people with a connection to the Emperor are killed... But Luke arrives and intervenes on behalf of the last survivor, a very young girl. Knowing the complications she brings (again... a surviving member of the Imperial bloodline and a living descendant of the last Sith) but unwilling to allow the slaughter of innocents Luke feels this is a continuation of his attempt to redeem his father by taking this child in and thinking he can train her to be a Jedi as well eventually. He also knows that if others found out about her she too might suffer the fate of her parents and be killed by vengeful members of the Republic. He arranges her to be hidden on Jakku for her safety and hopes that a similar environment as the one he grew up in will lead to a similar outcome (Is this a well thought out plan on his part? No. ) and checks up on her through intermediaries like Lor and other trusted members of those that follow The Force. He then gets distracted by the rebuilding of the Jedi Order and training his nephew... Then it all turns to ****. Ben's betrayal makes him gun shy to train the girl and he decides it's better that she remain hidden and live an anonymous life away from the violence and political strife of the fight against the First Order. He doesn't want to train her as a Jedi but he also doesn't want her to become a figure head or rallying point for the Order. He thought she would live out her days unknown to the Galaxy... But The Force had other ideas.
