Rey Skywalker, once known only as Rey, or as Rey Palpatine, was a human female Jedi Master who fought on the side of the
But that itself ended up not being the final revelation, as Rey was firmly connected as Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter (yes, the Emperor Palpatine) in The Rise of Skywalker. The culmination of that movie saw her reject that family and instead carry on the mantle of the Skywalker name.
Rey is a Skywalker, specifically the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine. Luke Skywalker was her father. Did Palpatine's spirit enter Rey at the end of Rise of Skywalker? You've just identified a giant not-so-easy to reconcile plot hole.
Rey's other mentor figures, Leia Organa and Han Solo, were also members of Luke's family and helped Rey become the Jedi she was meant to be. It's not surprising Rey took the Skywalker name, and her Jedi Order can only be an extension of Luke's legacy through her.
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.
Ren and Rey both possessed raw, untamed strength with the Force, by virtue of their respective bloodlines as the grandson of Darth Vader and the granddaughter of Darth Sidious. While searching through Rey's mind, Ren discovered that the girl could sense his thoughts and feelings as well.
Rey was born on Hyperkarn in 15 ABY during the rise of the New Republic. Her father, Dathan, was a bioengineered Strand-Cast cloned from the genetic template of Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who ruled the Galactic Empire as Emperor Palpatine.
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.
By the end of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey had become the last known Jedi of the Skywalker Saga. With all that being said, Rey was not left as the last remaining Force-sensitive character.
But Rey responded that she was all of the Jedi. Aided by the spirits of the Jedi who had come before her, she used both Luke and Leia's lightsabers to deflect Sidious's Force energies back at him, destroying the Sith Lord once and for all.
Sidious ordered Ochi to kill Rey's parents for hiding their daughter from him.
If you've already watched the movie — why else would you be reading this article! — then you know this Rey doesn't fall to the dark side in the end, but she does come close during the climactic battle with the Emperor. But instead, she vanquishes her grandfather and the Sith in turn, bringing back balance to the Force.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
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.
Anakin Skywalker is the son of Shmi Skywalker, born without a father through the Force. He is the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the father-in-law of Han Solo, and the maternal grandfather of Ben Solo.
One could theorize that he bore a child through some sort of space artificial insemination, or something closer to what we've seen in canon Star Wars material. In the canon comic Darth Vader No. 25, it is revealed that Palpatine somehow used the Force to manipulate midichlorions to impregnate Shmi Skywalker.
Anakin ultimately fulfilled his role as the Chosen One and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling Qui-Gon Jinn's belief in the prophecy that foretold Anakin's destiny. Accepting his fate, Anakin joined his Jedi mentors in death by becoming one with the Force.
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.
Their connection has never played out like a brother-sister relationship. Throughout The Last Jedi, it seems clear that there's an attraction between the two of them. Yes, they're enemies, but they're also drawn to each other.
HUGE STAR WARS REVEAL! Rey RETURNS and is PREGNANT with Force Ghost Kylo Ren's Baby!?! Disney's biggest reveal at SW celebration: Force Ghost Kylo Ren knocked up Rey.
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.
So let's look a bit closer at the legacy you're attaching your kid to when you name them Kylo: Our boy Kylo was born as one Ben Solo, the child of Han Solo and Leia Organa, named after the famous Jedi Obi-Wan (aka: Ben) Kenobi. Ben was trained in the ways of the Jedi by his uncle, Luke Skywalker.
While on the planet, when someone asked her who she was, Rey responded by saying that she was "Rey Skywalker." Although she wasn't related to them, both Luke and Leia had been mentors to Rey throughout the sequel trilogy.
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.
The mystery of Rey's parents was kept secret for years, and Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley revealed the original idea was to have Obi-Wan as her father.
