Question: What if Han Solo was and Rey were Padme and Anakin's first children
This theory definitely adds a new twist to the Star Wars saga. However, there are some obstacles that make this unlikely. 1. Timeline Issues: Han Solo was born approximately 32 years before the Battle of Yavin, according to "Solo: A Star Wars Story" and Rey was born 15 years after the Battle of Endor, according to "The Force Awakens." Padme died giving birth to Luke and Leia in "Revenge of the Sith," which happens 19 years before the Battle of Yavin. Thus, the timeline doesn't add up for Han or Rey to be their children. 2. Character Backgrounds: Han was raised on Corellia as an orphan and a thief, not on Naboo or Tatooine where Anakin and Padme were from. Rey was abandoned on Jakku, not exactly a choice Padme or Anakin would've made if they were her parents. 3. Canonical Information: According to current movie canon, Rey's parents were nobodies who sold her for drinking money, and later revealed to be the daughter of Emperor Palpatine's son. Han Solo’s parents are also established characters in the Star Wars canon who don't relate to Anakin or Padme. 4. The Force: While Rey is strong with the Force, Han Solo is not. If he were the direct child of Anakin, considered to be the Chosen One, it's likely he would have had some force sensitivity. So while it's an interesting theory, based on current information it would be very difficult to line up with the established Star Wars canon. The beauty of Star Wars though is its expansive universe, so there's always room for interpretation and plenty of 'what if' scenarios!
If Han Solo and Rey were Padme and Anakin's first children, it would mean that the Skywalker family would have had an entirely different destiny. Han and Rey would have grown up together as siblings and been trained in the Force by their parents. This would have likely impacted their paths in life and perhaps have meant that they would not have gone down the same dark paths as their parents. The result could have been an entirely different Star Wars universe, with possibilities that are hard to imagine.
