This stunning Dark Rey cosplay predicted one of the Rey Skywalkerthe best and scariest scenes in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. However The Rise of Skywalker had its issues, examined Rey’s fear and trauma as she carried the burden of being the last Jedi and the shock of her upbringing and heritage. Given her grandfather’s identity, darkness was intrinsic to Rey, and her arc in The Rise of Skywalker it was trusting herself and her instincts, fighting the darkness at every step.
Of course, Rey still had moments where she thought the darkness might overwhelm her, giving us the frightening visual of Dark Rey carrying a unique double-bladed, blood-red lightsaber. A cosplayer predicted Rey’s dark appearance 2 years earlier The Rise of Skywalker was released. In 2021, cosplayer (@sairaspooks) posted a throwback to a dark Rey cosplay she did back in the day Star Wars: The Last Jedi it was being promoted and viewed.
This cosplay even predicted that Dark Rey would wield a double-bladed red lightsaber. Rey’s black outfit and the character’s signature hair buns complete this impressive and prophetic Star Wars cosplay.
What if Rey had turned to the dark side?
Realistically speaking, it would have made more sense for Rey to turn to the dark side in The Last Jedi than in The Rise of Skywalker, when Kylo Ren offered to take his hand and show him the full extent of his strength. If she had given in, The Rise of Skywalker It would then have been about them discovering the power of the Force Dyad together – providing audiences with a better understanding of this mysterious phenomenon – and the film could still have ended with Rey and Kylo facing Palpatine together, an act that, given this is Star Warswould have pushed them back into the light.

Together, Rey and Kylo would have formed a formidable dark side duo. It would have been difficult for the Resistance to deal with this, considering Luke would probably still have died on Ahch-To, Leia wouldn’t have been at full strength, and the only other Force-sensitive person around was Finn (at least the film would have been able to explore the true potential of his character), he would have a lot to learn. Star Wars It’s about light prevailing over darkness, of course, but it’s still interesting to think about what might have happened if King had become Dark Rey in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker instead of.
