In 'Star Wars,' Rey Was Originally Meant to be a Kenobi In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Daisy Ridley revealed that a connection between Rey and Obi-Wan was one of the initial ideas around her character's creation.
Rey Kenobi Not the Jedi Way
Kennedy is absolutely correct in noting that the Jedi Code forbids attachment, leading to a scenario where Obi-Wan having children wouldn't make any sense. For a Jedi so devoted to his Order, there's little chance Kenobi would stray so far from his principles.
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.
The revelation that Rey was originally meant to be Obi-Wan's daughter may have surprised many fans, especially after the reveal that she was ultimately a Palpatine. However, the lack of cohesive planning in the sequel trilogy left many unanswered questions and disappointed fans on both sides of the debate.
She is the grand-daughter of Darth Sidious as well as the protégé of Luke Skywalker. She has a unique connection to both sides of the Force. This begs the question – which side of the Force resonates the best with Rey? Technically speaking, she is a Jedi.
Rey Skywalker, once known only as Rey, or as Rey Palpatine, was a human female Jedi Master who fought on the side of the Resistance in the war against the First Order. A former scavenger from the planet Jakku, her life was changed by the tumultuous events of the last days of the New Republic Era.
Admittedly, Rey skills couldn't possibly be as developed as Anakin's or Luke's. Nevertheless, considering how fast of a learner she is, and how unique the powers she possesses are, it's not a stretch to say that Rey could be a more powerful Jedi than Anakin and Luke Skywalker.
More Stories by Kyle Kizu. 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. However, the subtitle for J.J.
In the Jedi Prince series of young-reader novels (1992–1993) by Paul and Hollace Davids, set about a year after Return of the Jedi, a three-eyed mutant named Triclops is revealed to be Palpatine's illegitimate son; he had a son named Ken, the titular "Jedi Prince".
So while Rey is a biological Palpatine, she is an adopted Skywalker. Something that her sibling mentors Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa wanted. So yes, Rey is officially a Skywalker. While Rey's official lineage is revealed in The Rise of Skywalker, it seems like that may not have always been the plan.
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.
But a new tie-in novel, Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher, finally fixes this. Rey's parents are none other than Dathan and Miramir. No, that's not a typo. Her dad's name is Dathan, which is at least slightly better than Sheev Palpatine.
Do Rey and Kylo have kids? 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.
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. Instead, he was just a chaotic mess of the dark side (until he eventually found his way back to the light).
Theory 1: Leia Doesn't Remember Ben Is Obi-Wan
Throughout her encounters with Kenobi in the series, he refers to himself as Ben. The most straightforward explanation would be that Leia knows the person who rescued her is Ben, and never connected the dots that Ben is actually Obi-Wan.
The Emperor is Officially Anakin's 'Father'
Yes, Star Wars fans, Darth Vader #25 confirms that Anakin Skywalker was the result of Dark Side/Midi-chlorian manipulation inside of Shmi Skywalker's womb - performed personally by Emperor Palpatine.
In The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, art director Rick Carter expressed his opinion that Rey was the one who fulfilled the prophecy rather than Anakin, stating that while that one would be a Skywalker, it didn't necessarily need to be one by blood.
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.
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.
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%.
For many, it seemed like a copout as we were all trying to guess who Rey was, who her parents are, and where all of this power came from. The Rise of Skywalker novelization has confirmed exactly how Rey was able to take down Kylo Ren with ease and it all has to do with Chewie.
In a section on Force abilities, it is said that Rey has an innate Force power called psychometry. Check it out courtesy of Screen Rant. “Some Force abilities require years of training, a form of instinctual aptitude, or a very strong connection to the Force to access.
