As I recall a workprint of ROTS leaked well before the movie came out so a lot of the rumors from back then had a pretty solid basis. Besides, as soon as you saw those younglings in AOTC you knew what their eventual fate was going to be and it wasn't hard to imagine Lucas actually going there as a response to the TPM being overly kiddified critics.
As for wild Rey theories they literally run the entire gamut. Think of any character in Star Wars and there is probably a theory out there that has them as her father/mother or grandfather/grandmother or that she is a clone of. And then there is the fatherless force baby ideas, the true Chosen One (making Anakin a corrupted false CO), the daughter of someone previously unknown that Luke killed, and it just goes on and on. So someone, somewhere has guessed it already and posted it someplace I have no doubt.
People with way too much fuckin' time on their hands and too much head cannon melting their brains. I don't even try to explore the topic at all I just visit a handful of sites checking for news and have picked up on all of it by pure osmosis over the past year and a half people talk about it so much.

Even better would be to not explain it.
Rey: Are you my father?
Luke: No, you're MY father!
Rey: bemused look stretching into 15 seconds of silence
Luke: I don't know why I said that. No, I'm not your father. Well... unless... was your mother a nerf herder? Blonde. Nice rack?

This is all born out of a piece of TFA concept art that showed Anakin's force ghost as a very menacing looking figure. The idea was that as the personification of the balance of dark vs light even in death Anakin moved back and forth between the two. Yes it's totally at odds with everything else established about force ghosts but he was supposed to be a unique case because of chosen one mumbo jumbo.
But it was never used and none of that is anything more than another idea that never saw the screen ... not yet anyway.

yeah if that's the plot it sounds awful yet i hope it's real so we get more prequel meme material.

Loving the new Blue Man Group designs-- less characterized bad guy masks so that 1 in 68 autist demo doesn't feel uncomfortable w/ the big screen.
Pinnacle of menacing badguy design was the 1977 stormtrooper. Lets not reinvent the whole wheel.

I'm mixed on them myself.
The overlapping plates combined with the red coloration makes them look a bit like cooked lobsters. I'm guessing those are perhaps vibro blades they're using?
Also it doesn't show up in that picture but there is what looks like a submerged x-wing in the water just beyond R2 in the full sized shot of the game those are from.

Yes. Well, royal guards presumably. Or whatever Snoke's equivalent to the old Imperial Guards ends up being called.
If you go back over some of Rian Johnson's interviews from shortly after he was announced as the director he's consistently mentions several old Japanese films as sources that serve as his inspiration as a director in general and would be significant to his approach to TLJ. He tweeted out a list of films that he had paid a lot of attention to just as he was beginning the edit and there were several old Japanese samurai flicks on it.
