, right? Force abilities locked away? And in the book, Thane and Ciena are both outstanding pilots and can detect what each other are going to do before they do it- sounds a lot like the Force to me. So Rey could still be strong with the Force, even if Thane and Ciena are not revealed to be. And as stated in the "None Theory" below, parents do not have to be Force-sensitive for the child to be so.

- But where are Thane and Ciena? Ciena was a female captain in the Empire, and even though she leaves in the end, in was unvoluntary and she still believes she owes an oath of loyalty to them. So if the Empire popped up again, perhaps as the First Order, Ciena would be likely to join back up, and they would probably welcome her with open arms- the Empire viewed her as a heroic martyr when Thane pulled her from the ranks during the Battle of Jakku. So if Ciena joined the First Order, which she probably would, she would be a highly respected/feared female captain... While possible that Ciena is Captain Phasma (which would explain why Thane hid her on Jakku under Tekka's supervision) one major difference remains, and there is nothing racist about it. Ciena is desribed as light brown in complexion, and even a stretch would place her as very much tanned. But Gwendoline Christie, who plays Captain Phasma, is very much white. And even then, Ciena is 54 years old in TFA, which would be a little old for a stormtrooper, even a high-ranking one.

Cons:

- Where is Thane? If Ciena is not Phasma, why did they abandon their kid? Lor San Tekka cannot be Thane: he is described as "having seen the Clone Wars with his very eyes" and Thane was born on Empire Day (so were Ciena, Luke, and Ezra).

- Thane and Ciena are from the books, and Lucasfilm seems to be keeping films and books separate. While this is stupid, they do it anyway and even if Lost Stars was a backstory book, it would have been released after Episode VIII or IX.

- There is simply too much evidence supporting other theories. Unless Abrams purposefully tried to throw us off the trail...

So if Cigna joined the First Order, which she probably would, she wound be x hnnmly fwsoected/feared female captain... While possible thwf Vivna is Captain Phcsma (which would edpkwin why Thane hid hzd kn Jakku under Tekna's supgrvisiin) one mator cifference remains, and therw is nothing eacist about it.
