I'm thinking Snoke/Ben/Luke story will parallel Palpatine/Anakin/Windu.
Snoke might have been a friend or someone that was known to Luke, but he didn't know he was a dark force user. Snoke slowly influenced Ben toward the dark side.
Luke found out, confronted Snoke, gave him those nice scars, but and later realized just how much influence he had on Ben.
It would mirror what happened before which seems to be a motif with Star Wars.

my pitch for episode 9
Star Wars: The Broom
the story of the kid with the broom and how his life is changed when Finn and Rose destroyed his livelihood. He has to now run races himself with the jocks being the casino dealers.
The entire movie takes place in the stable, and its just mostly him and his friends. The first scene continues where TLJ left off, with him staring into the sky and screaming "REY! YOU'RE TEARING ME APART! Oh, hi Kylo."

Episode IX: Return of the Janitor
Finn, shocked by the horrific acts that his duty requires him to perform on unshaven cooch, flees The Rebellion and goes to Canto Bight seeking the elusive hacker who previously betrayed him hoping to be trained in the ways of "fuck all yall, I'm on my side". There he encounters an unkempt urchin with peculiar gifts that may prove useful to his quest ...

I'm just coming to this thread so not sure if this has been brought up. No one actually believes Rey's true parents are just junkies, thus Rey a nobody, right? The way they mention it a few times "your parents are nobody" leads me to believe the "twist" is that her parents are literally no body because she was born of the force. Anakin was not the one from the prophecy, Rey is. It would explain why she has been able to do so many force sensitive things with zero training and how she at times was even more powerful than Kylo/Luke.

No.
Anakin was the Chosen One.
Rey's parents are nobody.
The end.
The explanation in TLJ was that she's a kind of anti-body reaction of the Force to Kylo, since there is only dark side (Luke being cut off and all), so "it" creates a counterweight.
This of course runs off the George Lucas version of balance that is NOT equal light and dark, grey jedi nonsense, but Light Side=Balance and Dark Side=Imbalance (and again, fan theories about Anakin "bringing balance to the force" meaning he was destined to decimate the majority of Light Jedi is cool and all, but not what Lucas had in mind when he did those movies).

No, the explanation for that is these movies are written terribly and everything that happens in them happens due to pure convenience. This way the writers don't have to bother telling a story that is even slightly compelling.

She saw her parents in the Mirror of Erised and Kylo said "search your feelings you know it to be true" and the director has confirmed it on twitter.
Nothing interesting here. I like her but they haven't shown enough struggle in her life to make her be a compelling protagonist without destiny being involved - everything she does works. She'd be ruling the galaxy if she said the words "yes Kylo let's join forces but let the rebels go".

Just within the context of the movie Kylo telling her she's the daughter of junkies who sold her off, and her believing him, isn't definitive proof of that being who her parents are. He's wanting her to forget about her past so he would naturally tell her something she'd happily put in her rear view and preferably with some resentment attached. That doesn't mean it's a lie, just that it's certainly plausible for it to be.
In the context of things Rian Johnson has said since the release he was trying to take the franchise beyond the Skywalkers so that's why it unfolded like it did. He's also thrown out the "from a certain point of view" line when talking about it and has said he tried to go about it in a way that would hand as much creative room to the next director as he was given. So if Abrams or Lucasfilm wants to backtrack on it he's left them the room to do so.
But no, she's not the chosen one.
