Looks kind of dumb, so it's very Star Wars alright. (Off-Topic)

Why would Han and Leia have a twin and ... lose track of it?? Never mention it for two movies?

Same reason that "dying of heartbreak" is a thing in a reality where all sorts of extant high technology could have saved Padme's life. Or why the projectiles from ship's guns are going to have a gravity falloff before they hit their target...in space.

I fully believe anything to do with Rey's lineage in TFA was just a whole bunch of hand-waving to get fans focused on the story and to forget about those links for the time being, because they'd distract from the immediate fun of the moment. I agree that it's super lame, but what is the more likely outcome? There are too many other brand beats in play already. Maybe I'll owe some $5 bills, but we'll see.
