    Makes sense really and would add a layer of connection between her and Luke. Both of them found out they were born from monsters. I think that's what their ghost conversation will be about, Luke will share how he dealt with finding out Vader was his father. I think the you have to face him line will be slightly different though as there's obviously no saving Sidious

    Really? I am genuinely curious...why?

    I have mixed emotions on the new trilogy. One thing that can save it for me will be what they do with Rey. I'm not big on Rey nobody, because that doesn't jive at all with TFA. Like, at all. Or even TLJ.


    But Rey Palpatine seems like a last minute hail mary to explain the character (and justify having Palps back), but it creates more questions.

    Where is Sheev's son or daughter now? Where have they been? Why aren't they important to the story? Why did he need Vader if he had a kid?


    And most importantly, how is any of that easier to explain than Han and Leia had a daughter that they hid from Kylo, and they thought she died because of some horrible event.

    That's what gets me about Rey Palpatine. Its actually harder to explain than Rey Solo, and also somehow does a worse job explaining Rey.


    It makes it seem like Rian scrapped JJ's plan for Rey Solo, only to have JJ scrap Rian's nobody plan when he thought of bringing back Palpatine.

    Seems like fan fiction- just throwing stuff at the wall.

    I haven't read the leaks in detail, what am I missing?

    I would tend to agree that Rey Palpatine is harder for me to swallow than Rey Solo.

    I actually think the rumored opening scene could help Rey Solo make better sense...
    In the flashback, Leia is training with Luke, he senses something about her is different, and she explains to him she is pregnant... if Luke then began to have a vision of what a monster this child, Ben Solo, would become (perhaps even a vision of him later fighting or even killing Rey), it would help justify the Skywalker and Solo families later deciding to hide her away from Ben Solo. While they always loved Ben, perhaps he showed early signs of his inner conflict and turmoil, even if he did not yet turn completely to the dark. When they later discover Leia is yet again pregnant, this time without such negative premonitions, but because of Luke's (and Leia's?) prior visions of a dark Ben Solo, they decide his younger sister must also be protected ... only to believe she was lost or killed in some strange accident shortly after sending her to be hidden away.

    Even more epic would be if in the present day training with Leia, Luke the Force ghost appeared and explained it all to Rey in the presence of Leia... (That way we get a little more reunion time for the OT characters).

    In any event, all of this would actually add a significant amount of understanding (for me at least) as to why Luke was tempted to end the scourge that Kylo Ren ultimately would be before Ben Solo fully went dark and became that monster.

    That is my take anyway, as I still think Rey Solo would be the most meaningful reveal for our new protagonist... and if Kylo Ren never knew he had a sister, with whom he is so closely bonded, perhaps that will ultimately be what gets through to him and saves Ben Solo.

    Great point. It would also fit in well with the theme of misreading visions that played out in TLJ. It would explain more of Luke's guilt, and the fractured Leia/Solo relationship. Your post has me liking the idea TOO much, I'm going to be disappointed haha.

    I don't think Rey Plapatine is harder to explain than Rey Solo or Skywalker, especially now that we've seen her interact with Han, Leia, and Luke and nothing come of it.

    I've liked Rey Plapatine for a while because it creates opportunities to 1) give Rey an interesting place in the galaxy, 2) gives her an interesting familial and psychological conflict, and 3) deepens Plapatine's story.

    I don't think Rey Plapatine is very hard to explain either. She may or may not need to have "parents"; she could have simply been created from Plapatine's DNA as an heir to the throne. But if she has actual parents, then we simply learn that Plapatine had a family on Naboo to give the appearance of normalcy to his rise to power. His children may have been nothing special, maybe even disappointments who lacked any talent for the Force. But then Rey was different and the parents worried she would become a tool of the Empire or Jedi and hid her on Jakku.

    Who knows. All it takes is an average storyteller to cook up something halfway interesting.

    Overall, I like Rey Plapatine because I dig the idea of a possible Empress in Star Wars, and that Rey is tempted to be one. One of the things I love about space opera is powerful space ladies, empresses in particular. :)

    Pablo Hidalgo has unequivocally stated that Palpatine doesn't have children, thus rendering speculation about Rey being his granddaughter null and void and invalidating any "leaks" purporting the existence of such a relationship.

    No. That isn't how it works, and you are being selective in his tweets.




    He also said had you asked him if Boba Fett was a clone in cannon prior to ATOC coming out, he would have said no.


    Seriously man, nothing is cannon until it is. You have to stop over-reacting to tweets that agree with your preferences.


    I passionately dislike Rey Palpatine, but its still possible.


    Here he is basically telling folks like you to stop looking to him to tell you what is cannon, and he only chimes in to point out something that contradicts the FILMS-
