Abrams has permanently dashed the hopes of the Rey Nobody fans. I recalled my friend's quote again this week, during multiple screenings of Rise of Skywalker, which opened Thursday night. Our myths represent our values, and the world's most beloved space myth seemed to be standing firm for democracy, equal opportunity and respect for all. We the people have the ultimate power, The Force, not some aristocratic bloodline or other. That was a message plenty of despondent souls really needed to hear during these Dark Times. I recalled them fondly in 2017, when The Last Jedi seemed to lean into the Rey Nobody theory with all its heart. I quoted them in Mashable's first roundup of the leading Rey parentage theories. These words, spoken by a friend in 2015 after she saw The Force Awakens for the first time and pondered the origin mystery of our new hero Rey, crossed my mind many times in the last few years.

And I hope that Shadow of the Sith gives Dathan and Miramir their own story and a bit more to do, because while I might not love that Palpatine returned, I do think that these two are fascinating for their sacrifice. It’s exciting to know that they’re not just two people who we briefly see in a flashback, meant as an “answer” for Rey but ultimately no more than that. I want to see their connection to Darth Vader. I want to see them meeting up with characters we know throughout the galaxy. This is, honestly, the first time I have been excited to know more about Rey’s parents.
Still, we know that they weren’t successful, given the iconic Poe Dameron line. All we know is that they tried their best to hide her away to stop Palpatine from coming back. It was a very clear example as to why it’s important to plan a story from the beginning, and while Star Wars has continued to rework itself with the shows on Disney+, it doesn’t change the fact that The Rise of Skywalker isn’t the best.īut learning more about Rey’s parentage and the sacrifice that her parents made to keep her safe is a bit exciting because we don’t know that much about them.
REY STAR WARS MOVIE
Revisiting Rey’s parentageįor so many of us (myself definitely included), it’s been hard to revisit The Rise of Skywalker because there is a lot in that movie that is frustrating, and the parts that are good are overshadowed by the fact that the things that fans hated are … well, bad. And according to, we get a look into how Darth Vader helped Dathan and their connection with the Empire/Rebellion, prior to what we see in the sequel trilogy. Dathan and Miramir are the two people we get a brief glimpse of in The Rise of Skywalker-Rey’s parents, the key to the rebirth of Palpatine. In Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher (released on June 28, 2022), we get a bit of a backstory for Rey’s parents, including their names. Now though, as Star Wars always does best, we’re getting some more information, through the books, that make Rey’s parentage a little more interesting, which is, honestly, a good thing given that we know very little about them, and it’s about time we give them names (at least). She could have been a Kenobi, and even that would have been better than what we ended up getting. But there were just so many better options for Rey. Look, I don’t love Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and I really don’t love the idea that Rey is a Palpatine-not when my beloved Expanded Universe from decades of Star Wars novels was erased by Disney’s continuity and I didn’t get to see my twins take over the Star Wars Saga (justice for Jaina and Jacen).
