In The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final film in the sequel trilogy, Palpatine is revealed to be the mastermind behind the First Order and creator of its puppet leader, Snoke, as well as the grandfather of protagonist Rey.
In The Rise of Skywalker's novelization, we learn that Rey's father was a failed clone of Emperor Palpatine. He was initially created to be a vessel to house Palpatine and his Sith power. However, Rey's father proved incapable of doing so.
2019's 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' revealed Rey to be the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine.
The Emperor claimed Rey was a Palpatine in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - but she was never truly part of his family, and even he knew it. The Emperor insisted Rey was his granddaughter in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – but Rey Palpatine was never really a Palpatine at all.
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.
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.
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.
Sidious ordered Ochi to kill Rey's parents for hiding their daughter from him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final film in the sequel trilogy, Palpatine is revealed to be the mastermind behind the First Order and creator of its puppet leader, Snoke, as well as the grandfather of protagonist Rey.
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 Emperor's son sired a child of his own, Rey, his daughter who inherited Sidious' power in the Force, unlike himself.
Rey took the name Skywalker to honor their legacy. Palpatine spent all three trilogies trying to turn the Skywalkers to the dark side (he was successful with one of them). You could even go as far as to say that Luke and Leia gave her permission to take the name.
After years of speculation, Star Wars: The Last Jedi revealed that Rey (Daisy Ridley), the main character of the new trilogy, is not the child of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). In fact, she's the child of “nobody” — per Rey's own words.
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.
To Snoke, Rey was just a powerful Jedi to eliminate (more on this below). It wasn't until after the events of The Last Jedi that Palpatine recognized that Rey was his lost grandchild that he needed, and leveraged Kylo's inability to kill her by telling him to do just that - “Kill the girl”.
Yes, Rey is related to Anakin Skywalker. She is his granddaughter.
The Star Wars universe establishes Snoke as a Force-sensitive artificial being created by Emperor Palpatine to reclaim control of the galaxy. As Palpatine's puppet ruler, Snoke leads the First Order against the New Republic and manipulates Luke Skywalker's nephew, Ben Solo, into becoming Kylo Ren.
The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke.
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.
While Palpatine's lightning is by far the most powerful thing seen in the Star Wars movies, the Son's red lightning is certainly more dangerous. It's only been used by one other character in Star Wars canon, and that character was none other than Darth Vader.
