Despite being enemies, Rey and Kylo Ren share a connection called a 'Force dyad' and eventually become romantically involved with one another. Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage.
What is the connection between Kylo Ren and Rey? As Kylo Ren himself says in The Rise of Skywalker, he and Rey are bonded not just by their familial legacies (Ren as the grandson of Darth Vader and Rey as the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine) but by their unique connection in the Force.
Abrams said: “There's as much of a brother and sister thing with Rey and Kylo Ren as there is romantic. So it's not literally a sexually/romantic kind of thing. It's more like they're just bound together in this crazy, spiritual way.
The Last Jedi took the stance that Rey's parents were nobody, and while this may have been true from a certain point of view, The Rise of Skywalker gave us the true answer to Rey's parentage. In the film, we learned that Rey was a Palpatine, and her father was a clone of the infamous Sith Lord.
In a new excerpt, it's revealed that the names of Rey's parents are Dathan and Miramir. Dathan is the dad and Miramir the mother, if you were wondering; it's not always clear with these names from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
In addition to rejecting Sidious, Dathan married a woman named Miramir, whom he fell in love with. Together, they conceived a child, their daughter Rey, who was born in 15 ABY. Although he renounced the Sith Eternal and his donor, the Palpatine bloodline would prosper through him, just as Sidious predicted.
Upbringing. Zayne showed talent in the Force, as many expected, being Rey's son, but the boy was never trained by his mother. Instead, Rey kept her life as a Jedi Master and as a mother separate from her son, reasons being unknown to anyone for close to twenty years.
But with the sudden reveal that she was Palpatine's granddaughter, fans were left to wonder whether that was the original plan, or a last-minute decision. And answers were finally given by Rey's actor, Daisy Ridley, who admitted that Obi-Wan was originally Rey's father.
There is a good deal of information out there that supports Rey being a Skywalker, but there's also a strong case for her being the long-lost granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
If you were among the many to guess she's a Skywalker or a Kenobi, you were wrong. It turns out Rey is Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter. Yep, these two are related. Kylo Ren reveals the news to Rey during one of their Force chats on the planet of Kijimi in between battling.
She does not have a baby bump, her hand never goes to her stomach to indicate she's carrying a child, and there wasn't exactly any time for her to have conceived a child with anyone in the course of the film, including Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.
Obviously the fact that they are both part of the dyad explains part of why Kylo is so obsessed with Rey throughout the trilogy. It's equally true, however, that his obsession stems from the fact that she is one of the few people in the Galaxy who seems able to best him when it comes to use of the Force.
Even though Kylo Ren uses a red lightsaber, harnesses the dark side of the Force, and wears a cape, he is not a Sith. Because of that, he can never hold the title of Darth.
In response, Disney and Abrams have denied that this kiss was romantic, insisting that it was more of a familial relationship and that the kiss was a kiss of gratitude instead of romance.
And in The Rise of Skywalker we finally learn that Rey is actually the granddaughter of Palpatine. Her parents—one of which is the child of Palpatine—abandoned her on Jakku to keep her safe from her grandfather who was aware of her power.
So does Finn love Rey? No, not like that. The films and comments made from those involved in making the trilogy have made clear that despite seeming to have some romantic tension between them, there is nothing going on between Rey and Finn.
Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage. As the last remaining Jedi, she makes it her mission to rebuild the Jedi Order.
In the Star Wars film franchise, Obi-Wan does not have a known brother. However, he almost did. In the original Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi screenplay, Obi-Wan did have a brother, and it was none other than Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton)—Luke Skywalker's step-uncle and Anakin's step-brother.
At the end of The Rise of Skywalker, the title of the movie becomes apparent. While the Skywalker bloodline is technically gone, Rey honors her fallen mentors, Luke and Leia, by adopting their family name.
That's ok, but a little disappointing. Since The Last Jedi outright says Rey's parent were not important (from a certain point of view), and Luke shows no indication that he knows who Rey is, or even cares, it'd be really hard to justify that original idea.
A crystal embodies the Jedi as the heart of the lightsaber, and pure kyber has no color until it's bonded to the Force user. This process likely resulted in Rey Skywalker's lightsaber being yellow.
The offspring of Darth Sidious' cloned son, Rey inherited her grandfather's power in the Force. Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey was the daughter of a man named Dathan and woman named Miramir, but their names were later lost to history.
Terrio describes Rey's journey to Tatooine as a pilgrimage honoring the Skywalker family heritage, saying: “Rey brings the sabers there to honor the Skywalker twins by laying them to rest—together, finally—where it all began.
Her lineage is "Palpatine". I'm sure you can understand why she chose to be called "Rey Skywalker" rather than "Rey Palpatine". Or "Rey nobody". After Luke, Leia and Ben's death, Rey, now the last Jedi, takes the name of Skywalker as her surname, continuing on the legacy of bravery, sacrifice, and strength.
As I mentioned, Rey buries Luke and Leia's twin sabers in the sand and then she gets out something new: her own lightsaber with a gleaming golden blade. Up until now, Rey has mostly been using Anakin's old blue lightsaber—just as Luke did for a time before her.
