SPECULATION Won't Luke need a son to continue "Skywalker" surname?

sorry i didn't realise you were serious.
yes, kylo ren will only ever be his title. his previous name could be solo, skywaler or organa. as he seems to be obsessed with his heritage if the form of the vader mask it seems he could have used skywalker, though the likelihood is the mothers name, not the father.

 

Naming just depends on what lineage is dominate. In Anakin's case there was no one other that Shmi in his lineage unless you count The Force but I don't think the force is a good naming position.

"What would we put down as Father?" a bored Republic Bureaucrat asks.

"The Force gave him to me" Shmi replies.

"The Force huh? I guess we get all kinds here. Please ident here. Your Son will be named Anakin The Force in all our records. Next!" he says recording the name in the official census.

That is a possibility however would Shmi's relative have a big connection to the Force Like Anakin? No the only way for that Force connection is through Anakin not Shmi's relatives.

However, Perhaps Anakin was a Twin too?

Would Watto let her keep both?

Probably not. So he would have sold her off to the Hutts I suspect. So she grows up to fight in Jabba's palace become a bounty hunter Have relations with Whoever Jabba would reward? Perhaps Han was involved? She gets freed once Jabba is incapacitated. So She has a Son another Skywalker lineage which would have the Force connection. This would give an alternative to Rey's lineage. Perhaps Rey has the look which haunts Han that is why he double takes on her?

 

Oh my gosh DaveOlden for real??? I think almost everyone here has at least concidered killing a certain Binks fellow more than once!

As long as her last name isn't Park.

 

I read that as Phark. Then I thought that would be a great name.

Because she is going to make such a badass Jedi, beings will see her and go
"Rey. Phark! We're in trouble now."

 

Rey isn't a Skywalker.

Case closed.

 

BREAD ROLLS NOT GENDER ROLES

I'm just kidding, but I can see whoever marries Rey taking the name "Skywalker" as their own surname. By this point, it's a highly illustrious name and ties you to the most powerful group of Force users in the galaxy. I like to think that the Star Wars universe operates in a "who's ever surname is from a more powerful family", than making it gender based like it is in our world.

 

Last name isn't the only thing to carry on for a legacy.

 

actually, given the reaction to the reveal of Vader's progeny in Bloodline, the Skywalker name in this galaxy is currently mud.
Luke is practically a mere myth, Vader is a great and terrible monster, and Leia is a disgraced former senator now fighting with an unauthorized Resistance.

 

That IS true but a surname itself goes a long way.

 

I'm not reading Bloodline, so what do you mean that the "Skywalker name is currently mud"? What happened?

That said, at this point the Skywalkers have caused more trouble than they're solved. And all the trouble they've solved has been trouble another one of them caused.

 

At some point in the book Leia's real parentage is publicly revealed.

 

all those things i just said happened. there may be people sympathetic to the Skywalker name, but it's definitely not a banner to wave. some people don't even believe Luke's actions resulted in Palpatine's death. he's not a hero, he's a strange monk who's already been missing to the public eye for decades. and Leia is disgraced when they find out she is Vader's daughter and her political career is tanked as a result.

so yeah, the Skywalkers maybe fixed a few problems, but they caused the problems to begin with (and oh look: it ain't over yet ~ hahahaha ~ i'd say there's a pretty good chance that it's known or suspected that Kylo Ren is Leia's son, so that doesn't improve matters any either).

 

came here to post this. plus according to Bloodline Ben didn't know about being related to Vader but he already had started training with Luke. I doubt he would've changed his name after the big revelation in Bloodline but before he turned to darkside (when he probably took the name Kylo Ren)

 

welcome to the Cantina, Eopie! (of all the eopies, you're my favorite!)

not sure anyone's suggesting anything about Ren Ben taking the name, but you're right: he'd have no reason to be attached to "Skywalker" if he considers his grandpa to be "Vader". we still don't know what Ben's last name is, but it's likely either Solo or Organa or Organa-Solo.

 

That's typical Lucas not Disney... Disney didn't own it till 2012 LOL

 

I wasn't being totally serious when I said that lol.

 

lol

 

that is some really old fashioned and anthrocentric thinking there buddy.
