Rey Skywalkerhas had a rather complicated history inStar Warsmovies and TV showsthus far , but as herStar Warsstory proceed , it would be wise of the franchise to have an approaching alike to Jyn Erso ’s narration inRogue One : A Star Wars Story . Rey is confirm to be getting some sort of future inStar Wars’upcoming movies , although what that will look like remains to be seen . For quite some time , Rey was expect to return in her own pic , rumored to be titledStar war : New Jedi Order .

That rumor form of address propose Rey would be establishing her own Jedi Order , but with the news program of Simon Kinberg’sStar Warstrilogy , which will patently see Rey in an ' Obi - Wan Kenobi office , ' that has come into question . In whatever capacity Rey payoff , Star Warsmust grapple withStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker’sdecision to make Rey a Palpatine by bloodline and a Skywalker by option . This will no doubt be complicated , butRogue One , specifically in term of Jyn ’s tarradiddle , could serve as the perfect blueprint .

Star Wars Shouldn’t Ignore Rey’s Palpatine Lineage

The Rise Of Skywalker Created Complications, But Star Wars Must Commit

There were admittedly a number ofissues with theStar Warssequel trilogy , although one of the biggest complaint about the movies was the very sudden and minimally explain return of Palpatine inThe wage hike of Skywalker . Coinciding with this shameful disclosure was the news that Rey was n’t a ' nobody ' after all , asStar warfare : The Last Jedihad suggested , but rather was relate to Palpatine through her father , Dathan , a failed ( in Palpatine ’s view ) clone of the Emperor himself . In the terminal , Rey turned away from this lineage , choose the last name Skywalker .

There was mountain of rebound and controversy about Rey choosing this name , but it is largely unjustified . There is a long - bear tradition ofStar Warscharacters choosing their own names , and while that has n’t previously encounter with a fabled family line name like Skywalker , Rey can certainly do so . After all , The ascension of Skywalkerconfirmed that Luke and Leia both approved , as they seem on Tatooine and smile down upon her as she confirmed her new name .

One determination in The Rise of Skywalker proved massively controversial , but unfavorable judgment often miss how perfectly it respect Anakin Skywalker .

Given the poor receipt of Rey choose the last name Skywalker and , very potential , Star Wars’desire to move away from this controversial Palpatine choice , the franchise may direct clear of Rey ’s Palpatine association in the future . That would be a mistake , though . Rey ’s Palpatine lineage sure should n’t fix her character , but it should n’t be brush aside either . Jyn Erso ’s family history and the flight of her story inRogue Oneis therefore the pure example of what Rey ’s next story should be .

Jyn Erso ’s class history and the flight of her story inRogue Oneis therefore the perfect example of what Rey ’s next story should be .

Rey’s History Should Be Part Of Her Story—But Not Define Her

Like Jyn Erso’s Lineage, Rey’s History Should Have Some Influence

InRogue One , Jyn had a blood congress to Galen Erso , whom she believed to be an Imperial for most of her life , but she was effectively raised by Saw Gerrera , a revolutionary member of the Rebellion . She was n’t particularly fond of either father shape for myriad reasonableness , but her link to both enabled her to play a significant role in the fate of the galaxy , most notably by helping to destroy the Death Star . Even in spark of this , Jyn Erso was always her own somebody , and her story was n’t dictated by her family .

This is the perfect rule for Rey ’s next write up . Be itNew Jedi Orderor Kinberg ’s trilogy , Star Warsshould research how Rey ’s connection to both Emperor Palpatine andthe Skywalker family treeshapes her journeying but finally does not ascertain her fate . Hopefully , rather than avoidingRey Skywalker’srelation to Palpatine entirely , Star Warswill take an coming similar toRogue One : A Star War Story’splotline for Jyn Erso .
