I'm just referring to the idea that she's related to Obi-Wan.
If that is indeed true, it would seem pretty lax for Lucasfilm to leak that info in casting news before the first movie ever came out.
Not saying it's NOT true, because there is a lot of evidence at this point, but just strikes me as sloppy and not something they'd do.

When Abrams was announced as the Episode VII director, he claimed that he and Lucasfilm wouldn't be secretive about the story and the characters. Then shortly after filming began, there was radio silence.
It's possible that they intended to be more open, hence the casting call, then decided against it.

I also think the character of Duchess Satine is way too minor for her to make her way into a movie.

While true, I also see it as a way to "expand" the Star Wars galaxy.
Abrams and Terrio have reportedly said that Episode IX will "wrap up" the nine movie Skywalker saga, while incorporating elements of the Prequels and Prequel era. The romance between Satine and Obi Wan fits perfectly into that description.
But let's say that Rey isn't a Kenobi. Why would Abram use the voice of Alec Guiness and Ewan McGregor "speak" to Rey during her "Forceback" and why would it be necessary for McGregor to record new lines for Episode VII? Why was it necessary for Obi Wan to say "Rey, these are your first steps" if they weren't related somehow?
If they're not related, it would make more sense for Master Yoda to speak to her than Obi Wan, who really failed as a Jedi Master when it came to apprentices.
