Rey becomes a Skywalker not by blood (she's a Palpatine by lineage) but by choice, adopting the name to honor her mentors Luke and Leia, reject her Sith heritage, and embody the legacy of hope and balance they represent, especially after sharing a Force Dyad with Ben Solo. She embraces the name to define her own identity, recognizing the Skywalkers as her true family, despite her Palpatine ancestry, and fulfilling the promise of the Jedi legacy.
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
She may be a Palpatine by blood, but she was accepted by the Skywalkers into their family. They accepted her, they taught her, they loved her. She chooses that name to honor the family that chose her.
Force Lightning: As the granddaughter of Darth Sidious, Rey had inherited her grandfather's signature ability; to use Force lightning, however, she has no control over it.
Rey officially became 'REY SKYWALKER' in Episode 9 'THE RISE OF SKYWALKER' - - #starwars #theriseofskywalker #sequeltrilogy #rey #starwarsfan | Lukes Outpost | Facebook.
In the original trilogy, Yoda lives in solitude on the swamp planet Dagobah. He is introduced as a former mentor of the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force until his death at the age of 900.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
The rarest lightsaber color is generally considered black, embodied by the unique Mandalorian weapon known as the Darksaber, with only one ever created, though white (from purified red crystals) and purple (like Mace Windu's) are also exceptionally rare in canon, signifying unique Force attunements or powerful skills. Other rare shades include cyan, gold, and sometimes pink, depending on the specific canon or Legends source.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
He does not know that Rey is the granddaughter of Palpatine. And frankly, he seems to not care as much about where she comes from. He bonds with her quickly and sees that she has a heart, so whatever her origins may have been are irrelevant to him.
Who was his father?" "There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him, I can't explain what happened." Believed to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians, Anakin Skywalker was born to the slave Shmi Skywalker.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
Palpatine Saw Rey As A Tool, Not A Granddaughter
Kylo Ren idolized his grandfather Darth Vader, but Rey never saw Palpatine in this way, never even acknowledging her familial connection to The Emperor as anything beyond a genetic technicality. For his part, Palpatine didn't really think of Rey as family either.
Tràkata is a rare and cunning lightsaber technique built on deception and misdirection. Jedi like Kao Cen Darach and Cal Kestis used it to gain surprise advantages in battle, while Sith like Qimir mastered its lethal precision.
However, a groundbreaking study conducted at the University of Leicester's Centre for Interdisciplinary Science challenges these long-held assumptions. The study suggests that, against all expectations, red lightsabers may actually be the weakest of the lot.
Luke was the last Jedi, then. Rey is the last Jedi, now. The title of each film in the sequel trilogy is a direct reference to the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy, Rey. In the Force awakens, it awakens in her.
NO. Rey should not be related to anyone but the Skywalker family. This means Rey cannot be related to nobodies, Obi-Wan, Darth Sidious, or basically anyone who isn't a real, biological Skywalker. The core Star Wars films are part of the "Skywalker saga", which mainly focuses on the Skywalker family (by blood).
It's pretty clear that operation necromancer is the effort to bring back Emperor Palpatine and Snoke is a step in that effort who served as an intermediate vessel to host his spirit until the Palpatine clone was ready. It's the project to clone palpatine in to a new body after his death in VI.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
