OK, my discussion is about the true identity of Rey. In the movie, she hinted that she was waiting for someone on the planet of Jaku. So it sounds that she knew exactly who she was. Some people on the internet have suggested that she was the twin sister of Ren, the major villain in the movie. However, I do not think so. I think she's the daughter of Luke's.
Why? When Rey mentioned to Hao Solo that he's like the father that she never had, Han didn't even flinch. Han should know very well that he had a daughter and she's left on the planet of Jaku. Even if Han didn't know he was looking at his own daughter since she had grown, the mention of him being a father to a young girl should stir up a lot of emotion from a father who had to literally abandon his daughter on a desert planet to fend for herself. Especially, Rey mentioned several times that she was waiting for someone who had promised to come and looked for her. If Han had made such promise, he should definitely remember it. It would be a hint that no father should ever ignore. Yet, Han only showed his appreciation for Rey's affection. Leia also did not do anything when she found out that Rey was from Jaku. As loving parents, Leia and Han showed a whole lot of emotion for Ren. Yet, nothing at all toward Rey who was supposed to be the only innocent bystander but gotten the harshest punishment out of the whole deal. So I don't think Rey is Han and Leia's daughter.
Yet, how she acted when facing Luke was a totally different story. She was crying and Luke was crying. Yoda was not emotional at all when Luke first stopped by. Yoda knew that the new hope was coming well before Luke showed and he knew Luke was their only hope. The situation of the Resistance in the new movie was a lot better and much less desperate than when Luke was young and beginning to learn to become a Jedi with Yoda. Yet, Luke's emotion was stirred up in a major way. It fits that a father was seeing his long-lost daughter for the first time after he had to abandon her on a crazy planet.
