Official Rey Episode VIII thread

She is everybody's daughter, it is so obvious!

same pose = related

 

Yeah I know this seems to me that her & Kylo are even with scars inflicted.

 

I would have agreed with you a few weeks back, but I'm slowly starting to leave that "Rey is a Skywalker" train of thought (though I certainly think the parallels between both of them and Anakin is an extremely interesting point). Bear in mind that I've been saying Rey is a Skywalker since the second TFA trailer, I really don't want to get off this train!

 

Well Maz is a lady and Rey is a young lady.........so that would definitely make sense.

 

Rey Porkins confirmed.

Oh and Rey's scavenged helmet once belonged to Dosmit Ræh:



"When I was a kid, I liked to make up stories about Captain Ræh—about who she was and what planet she might have come from."

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dosmit_Ræh

maybe "Rey" is not the real name of the character but a name she choose because of this helmet? She's identified herself to pilot Dosmit Ræh with her doll and the helmet when she was a little girl on Jakku?

FN 2187 = not the real name of "Finn".
Kylo Ren = not the real name of Ben Solo.
Rey = not the real name of the character?

and this 3 characters are all masked at the beginning of TFA....

 

I kind of hope Rey keeps Anakin's lightsaber. If she is not a Skywalker I think it offers a good point contention between her and Kylo Ren. She uses the lightsaber for good as Anakin did most of his life but Kylo thinks it should be his because Vader was his grandfather and he is obsessed with Vader.

I would love to see a Jedi building a lightsaber but I want Finn to start training in Episode IX and be shown building his saber.

 

I think there's not time to her to make a new lightsaber in VIII (maybe she even will not be a jedi in TLJ) and Luke already have one so she will keep the blue.

 

Anyone ever figure what Rey is doing during her force vision?? Is she frozen or she actually moving like she is in the vision?

 

She's likely frozen with her hand still touching the light saber throughout her force vision. Then at the end of the vision, her hand separated from the light saber and her body repelled backward into the hallway - a symmetric reversal of what happened prior to the vision, when she was drawn toward the light saber.

 

Tons of sea monsters in mythology, obvs, but this made me think of (well, have to look up) this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charybdis. It's sort of OG Kobayashi Maru (sorry). I'm reading this long after it was posted, so forgive. Just interesting!

 

More like moving.

 

I'm hearing people talk about the part of Rey's vision with the Knights of Ren in the rain being from the future, does anyone know for sure? Is anything canon or is it all speculation?

Also, how is it that she can force grab that light saber past kylo?

 

Pretty sure Pablo confirmed that as a scene from the past.
As far as I know, this was the scene after Kylo joined the KoR and when he and his crew took down another Clan and stole the Skywalker saber.
After getting the saber, Maz Kanata sneaks into their camp and takes it.

 

And where did you get that from?

 

That was in the original leaks before the final cut of the film.
Not canon or confirmed but it was information released with the shot list of TFA which tallied up. So I think it is the best info we have on it at the moment.

 

...hmmmm...ok...

 

In the recent Josh Gad videos, is Daisy dropping a massive hint by doing the Kenobi beard stroke?

 

Why does the saber call to Rey, show her a vision & speak her name?
