Ok, so after thinking about this point, and saying, maybe they found her in stasis or something, and she was meant to be a break glass in case of Vader dies and Palpatine needs a new Apprentice/Assassin. I'm now going to completely change my theory, so I went back and looked at some Star Wars source material
We know that prior to the events of the Phantom Menace that the Dark Side had been gaining power, it was handicapping the Jedi's ability to use the force and sapping the power of the light side. So the force reacted by bringing force the chosen one, a super powered, vergence of the Force centered around a boy with no mother. He was meant to bring balance to the Force, but the dark side at that time was so powerful, and so pervasive that Anakin was imperfect, and he fell to the Dark Side. But he was still around but eventually the light won, and Anakin threw Darth Sideous down a well so deep that Lassie couldn't hear him screaming for help. Vader reverts to Anakin and dies, the Dark Side is basically defeated and the light side is ascendant.
So now the Force is over poweringly on the light side. Luke is an avatar of the light, the force shifts and he starts training a new generation of Jedi, but the Force is out of balance. So what's to say that the Dark side doesn't have its own prophesy?
I know that its legends EU stuff, but Disney has been more then willing to borrow elements from Legends when it suits them so why not now.
The Sith had a prophesy as well, a being so perfect that he or she would be the embodiment of the Dark Side, basically a black hole in the Force that would destroy the Light. At first it was thought that Palpatine was that Sithari. But clearly he was flawed in a lot of ways.
So what if the Force creates another "chosen one" who will try to shift the balance. We know that the light and the dark side are constantly at war and they do it through their proxies in terms of the Jedi and the Sith. It was personalized in the Clone Wars with the Father (balance) the son (darkness) and the daughter (light), when they died the Force spun out of control.
so anyways, we know that Rey was dropped off on Jakku, but that doesn't mean she has parents. What if she's the Sithari. The perfect embodiment of the Darkside?
The Sith'ari will be free of limits.
The Sith'ari will lead the Sith and destroy them.
The Sith'ari will raise the Sith from death and make them stronger than before.
What if Rey is going to tip the galaxy back to Darkness, and her destiny is to destroy Snoke, and Kylo and the Jedi and leave the Galaxy into darkness?
What if Luke sick of the destruction caused by Force Users decides that not only do people like Ren and Snoke have to go, but the Jedi have to go, but he learns that Rey isn't an ally, she wants pretty much the same thing but wants the Force to herself.
I doubt this is what's actually going to happen, because Disney probably won't go that far in terms of having their heroine become the ultimate evil in the Galaxy who brings back the Sith.
But its fun to speculate.
