The Future of Skywalkers

The only thing I know for sure is that Ben knows Rey.

Rey seems to have some vague memories of him as well, so let's see the possible family dynamics.

Twins: Nope, they're not the same age.

Older/younger Brother/sister: More plausible, but still an age gap of 10 years.
Beside wouldn't Han and Leia have known if they had another child?
And why why would they have left her on such a god forsaken dust ball like Yakku of all planets.

Half Brother/Sister:
Also a possibility, although I don't see Leia having another child out of wedlock after it went so well with Ben.
and well, her being addicted to politics is also not a good combination for having another child.
Han having a child by another woman would be more likely, but aren't he and Leia still married?
The flesh is weak though.

Cousins: Possible, but not likely.
Luke dedicated his whole life to the Jedi way, and unless we're getting a whole new side story on how he was seduced by some woman in the next movie, I don't see this happening any time soon.

Clone: This is an interesting possibility, since she never saw her real parents in TLJ and instead seeing herself many times over.
The big question would then be, of who is she a clone?

 

The Skywalker name died with Luke, and I see no problem with that. It's just a name after all. Sure, fans are attached to it, but that's pretty much where all its value comes from, it serves no actual purpose in the story. The bloodline will most likely go on, and that's all that matters. And giving the Skywalker name to a character who wasn't born with it (Kylo included) just to appease the fans would feel forced. Also, it would make it seem as if the name itself holds great weight in the SW universe, enforcing the (wrong) idea that only the people "labeled" Skywalker are true Skywalkers. Which is ridiculous. Leia is a true Skywalker, so is her son, so will be his kids, and so will be their descendants for however many generations this cursed/blessed bloodline will go on lol

 

George says a lot of things.
I take them all with grains of salt.

Rey is the one who says her parents were nobodies.
He says she knows and tells her to say it.
She says they were nobodies.

That said, the Skywalkers need to end for the story to go forward.

 

Let the blood line die out. It happens in real life, its a natural event. Plus doing now will stop the agony of prolonging the inevitable.

 

"It's time to let old things die. Snoke. Skywalker. The Sith. The Jedi. The Rebels... Let it all die."

The Skywalker story should end with Episode IX. Let it be a happy and satisfying end. The Skywalker curse shall be broken by Ben and Rey. Yes, Ben can have children to guarantee Skywalker offsprings, but they shouldn't play a big role in the next stories. Most of all they souldn't be responsible for the conflict.

 

The Skywalker Story, aka the Episodes, needs to end at Episode 9. No Episode 10, 11, 12, 13....

Then they can make spinoff movies and other trilogies/stories (like RJ is doing) for eternity.

 

There will be 12 skywalker episodes.and a ton of anthology movies.

 

If Rey is not supposed to be a Skywalker, why in the hell did Kathleen Kennedy and Disney used this new trilogy as a continuation of the family's saga? For nostalgic reasons?

Why didn't they just leave the family saga alone and label this new trilogy as something separate?

Why would Rey marry him? So that Lucasfilm can continue Rian Johnson's infatuation with the man child?

 

I choose " Rey takes the Skywalker name by choice"...

Too late for that?

I mean just look at the Plantagenets. Their bloodline may have ended but boy did they leave their mark.

 

Wow over a year ago now, I don't remember posting that Still stand by this though. A few years ago over here in the UK they did a documentary to find the true heir of the United Kingdom. They were no longer Plantagenet but the line was still alive and growing in Australia.

The only Skywalker through blood who I wanted to survive was Leia. After Carrie's passing, I knew the Skywalker line had gone. I faced this narrative over in 2018 so when it happened TRoS it was fine by me because I had already come to terms with it. Common sense if anyone was going to be the Skywalker it was Rey. 'Ben' was always a Solo and I knew that Mark was only coming back as a force ghost so it wasn't going to be Luke. But yet I had a sneaky suspicion Rey was no relation at all. So that left Rey nobody or Rey Skywalker. I didn't think Rey would take the name back in January last year because I thought it was silly but when IX title came out it was 100% Rey rising as a Skywalker but I wish she in a way she was just 'Rey'.

 

Kind of reminds me in Nikolai Dante when Viktor Romanov has his name changed to Viktor Dante after becoming disgusted with what his father (Dimitri Romanov who has downloaded his consciousness into his brother Arkady Romanov) had done after overthrowing the previous tsar Vladimir Makarov and wants to remove himself as far away from the association with the Romanovs as possible.

 

simple either Kylo had Kids or Luke did. Not hard to bring them back. Unlikely 30 yo Kylo never had sexual relations.

 

Not everyone has that kind of interest. Besides I am sure his devotion to Snoke would have been quite satisfactory. Enjoy that mental image. I know I do.
