Not to mention living off on her own for years just waiting. Which no Skywalker in the history of ever could be expected to do. :-D
The more the Kenobi possibility is brought up, the more I like it, while still being mostly in favor of Skywalker. Both at once might be a little too neat, but I think I still might like it best of all.
I have a slight stumbling block because, while Obi-Wan (following in his master's footsteps) rarely hesitated to bend the rules, I don't know if I can see him outright breaking that one. But if he did, it would give him a reason to have never mentioned to Luke that "Oh, BTW, we were supposed to be celibate, so you exist because Anakin went off and got married in secret." If he sowed some oats of his own at some point, he'd have that much more reason not to judge Anakin for that particular infraction (which he never really did), and to believe (rightly, IMHO) that's something that needs to change in the new incarnation of the Jedi.
And if he did have a daughter out there somewhere, it's not even a little bit of a stretch for her to have turned up when Luke started actively seeking Jedi candidates.
she particularly favors Keira Knightley when she does her stubborn-face
And her smile. And her voice/accent.
Which, I realized today, is another checkmark in the Kenobi column, since Obi-Wan's was the only English accent on the side of the Rebellion in the original trilogy.
Her outfit is reminiscent of Obi-Wan, but also of Luke in ANH. Even the arm wraps echo his leg wraps. Thinking as a designer, I'm sure they're intentionally alluding to both, while also fitting into a tradition of "desert people" costuming that extends beyond SW. She wouldn't look out of place running around Abydos with Skaara and his buddies, for instance.
