Every Star Wars theory of Rey’s Force Awakens vision that never came true

Rey Skywalker Series of Force Visions in Star Wars: The Force Awakens After her contact with Anakin Skywalker’s iconic lightsaber led to a number of thrills Star Wars Sequel trilogy theories, but, sadly, some of the brilliant theories never came to be. The Star Wars Sequel trilogy represented a world of opportunities for Star Wars Movies and TV shows, as it was a brand new era of the Star Wars Timeline. In fact, like Disney’s acquisition of Star Wars Made most stories set after Return of the Jedi No longer canon, the story possibilities seemed limitless.

In part because of this, theories are absolutely rampant about the releases of the movies of the sequel trilogy. however, The moment Rey touched Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber and experienced a series of Force visions specifically initiated a number of Star Wars TheoriesMany of them are particularly exciting. Unfortunately, however, very few of these theories came to be.

Rey was the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker

Many believed that Anakin’s lightsaber gave Rey visions because she was Anakin

One of the weirdest theories to come out of Rey’s Force visions The Force Awakens Turns out she’s actually the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker. The theory started because Anakin’s lightsaber had such a powerful effect on Rey—something it didn’t even do to Luke Skywalker. Ultimately, however, it was instead revealed that it was one of these Star Wars Force powers, ‘forcebacks,’ apparently a form of psychometry.

It would have been an interesting but strange turn for Star Wars To really reincarnate Anakin in this way, although it did not seem out of the question. after all, Star Wars is constantly adding brand new powers, concepts and storylines that seem to break the rules. Nevertheless, it is probably for the best that the theory never came to be, as making Rey the reincarnation of Anakin would have made things very complicated, to say the least.

Ray and Kilo RN were siblings

Before Ray’s parents were revealed, some believed she was an abandoned solo daughter

The identity of Rey’s parents was a massive mystery throughout the sequel trilogy, even after it seemed Star Wars: The Last Jedi revealed that they were ‘nobody’. in The Force Awakens In particular, theories ran wild about Rey’s parentage, as her visions suggested she had a connection to the Skywalkers. Several theories about who Rey’s parents might have stood out, one of them being that Rey was the abandoned daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa.

This was a particularly fascinating theory because it would no doubt have required a significant event for Leia and Han to leave their own daughter behind on Jakku. However, according to how strained their relationship became clear, this was more than possible. Additionally, this would have meant that Ben Solo and Rey are siblings, which could have led to yet another awkward moment. Star Wars Sibling kiss. In the end though, Star Wars Avoid repeating history in this way.

Rey studied at Luke’s Temple – but her memory was wiped

Ray was particularly skilled with the force, leading to this theory

Although Rey initially did not know she had the Force, she was remarkably skilled with it. In addition to impressively using the classic Jedi mind trick on a storm in The Force AwakensPresumably without even knowing that was a Force power, Rey soon after battled Kylo Ren single-handed and held her own. In fact, she even managed to pull Anakin’s lightsaber from him.

Because of the skill (and even simple familiarity with certain Force abilities), Some suspected that Rey might have actually had some training as a Jedi, but didn’t remember it. This theory was reinforced by the moment Luke Skywalker appeared in Rey’s visions, watching his Temple burn. Essentially, the theory posits that Rey was a student at Luke’s Temple for a time but that she eventually had her memory wiped. This would have had fascinating implications, including that, possibly, Luke rescued her and hoped that the one survivor could be the new hope for the Jedi.

Luke Skywalker joined the dark side

Many believed it could be Luke under the Kilo Ren mask

Rey’s Force visions also brought her face-to-face with the terrifying Kylo Ren, whose true face has yet to be revealed. Although Kylo Ren’s identity as Ben Solo was uncovered later in The Force AwakensAt that time, his true identity was still unknown. Because of this, Many actually theorized that it was Luke Skywalker under Kylo Ren’s mask.

This would have had interesting (and no doubt controversial) implications for the sequel trilogy, as it would have meant that Luke Skywalker had fallen to the dark side. However, because Rey’s Force visions also showed Luke watching his Jedi Temple burn, this would have explained why tragedy was linked to Luke’s downfall. Moreover, George Lucas even considered this very turn for Luke in Return of the JediWhich would have made good on an intriguing original trilogy concept.

Rey is Palpatine’s daughter

Ironically, the theory that many found improbable technically came true

Interestingly, some have suspected that Rey is the daughter of Emperor Palpatine after Rey’s Force visions in The Force Awakensand finally, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Proved them partially right. However, even at this time, The discourse surrounding this theory primarily insisted that such an idea is illegal. This is really ironic, like Star Wars It ended up technically confirming this one theory, but it became divisive for many of the very reasons people doubted it early on.

Notably, the theory is different from what is actually confirmed in The Rise of Skywalker Because Rey is not Palpatine’s daughter but rather was the daughter of a ‘defective’ Palpatine clone. This partly answered why many found this theory absurd. Palpatine simply wouldn’t have been able to have a daughter Rey’s age based on when he died.

In truth, this theory still didn’t make as much sense as some of the other theories. There was no indication that Palpatine had children, and while the clone explanation worked long-term, it felt rather rushed in The Rise of Skywalker. Regardless, this is the one known theory of Rey’s Force visions that technically came true, and it was the one that was arguably the least expected.

Rey was a clone/Snoke created Rey

Rey’s dubious origins had some convinced she was a clone

Although it was indeed a Palpatine clone named Dathan that led to Rey’s creation, many viewers suspected that Rey herself might be a clone. actually, After the sequence of Force visions in The Force AwakensWhich made Rey’s origins even more dubious, Rey being a clone became quite a popular theory among the fans. Specifically, many believed Rey could be a clone created by Snoke himself.

This theory was finally revealed to be wrong in The Rise of SkywalkerBut it was impressive on the right track. The sequel trilogy ended up being driven by Star Wars clones, and the franchise has continued to explore the importance of clones ever since. While Rey herself is human, the theory was clearly on to something (especially considering that, even if Rey wasn’t herself a clone, her father was one).

Rey, like Anakin, was created by the Force itself

Some theorized that Ray could also represent a vergence in the force

Part of what makes Anakin Skywalker so unique in Star WarsBeyond just the chosen prophecy, is the fact that Anakin is a verger in the force. Force vergences are essentially locations, objects, or people that are especially connected to the Force. In part, this explains why Anakin is so incredibly strong in the Force and why his midi-chlorian count was so astronomically high, even compared to powerful Jedi like Lord Yoda.

Because of Rey’s impressive Force powers, many suspected that she might also be a verger in the Force. In fact, Rey’s ability to see the various visions after touching Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber seemed like solid evidence that Rey had some unique bond with the Force, be it as a Vergence or otherwise. In the end, however, Rey’s incredible power seemed to stem from her Palpatine bloodline.

The Knights of Ren would be main villains

The Knights of Ren could have been much more interesting villains

One of the most terrifying moments in Rey’s Force visions was when she was surrounded by the Knights of Ren. In fact, the knights are seen standing in the pouring rain, led by Kylo Ren with his red crossguard lightsaber in hand, making the moment even more intimidating. The introduction seemed to suggest that the Knights of Ren would become serious villains in the sequels. Unfortunately, this was far from the case.

Rather, the most notable encounter with the Knights of Ren actually came in The Rise of Skywalker When Ben Solo took them into battle on Exegol. At this point, however, the payoff is minimal, as they haven’t really been established before in the sequels. This was particularly unfortunate, as The sequels really could have used a unique villain such as the Knights of Ren. Instead, the sequels relied on previous villains, both in terms of Palpatine and in the sense that Kylo Ren was in many ways repeating Darth Vader’s character arc.

Rey was a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi

Several aspects of Rey’s character made her like a Kenobi

One of the most popular theories about Rey’s parentage was that she was the granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The speculation has existed before The Force Awakens Premiering, however Rey’s Force visions in the movie strengthened this theory, as Obi-Wan’s voice could be heard very distinctly.. Because Obi-Wan had been calling out to her so specifically, it was quite possible.

Furthermore, although some argued that this was impossible, since Obi-Wan tended to be a rule follower in the Jedi Order, Star Wars: The Clone Wars Reveal how this can happen. After all, Obi-Wan was not only given a love interest in Satine Kryze but also revealed that he would have left the Jedi Order for her if she asked. In fact, many have already suspected that Corky Crisis is Obi-Wan’s secret love child (who even Obi-Wan may not have realized is his son), and he may be confirmed to be Rey’s father.

Rey was Luke Skywalker’s daughter

Many believed that Rey was a Skywalker (by blood) from the beginning

Of course, based on Rey’s intense reaction to touching Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber, One of the most famous theories about rank following The Force Awakens Turns out she was Luke’s daughter. This could have proved quite exciting, as it could have meant that the Legends character Mara Jade finally became a part of Star Wars Canon. This was also supported by the theory that the stone Luke stood near the end of The Force Awakens There was a tombstone – Mara Jade’s, many thought.

But, in the end, Star Wars The idea that Jedi should not have attachments, removing Luke’s legendary wife and child from his canon history. In the end, it’s hard to say which of these theories would have been better than the story ultimately delivered The Rise of Skywalker. Nevertheless, it is clear that the scene with Rey Skywalker Force visions into Star Wars: The Force Awakens Led to a number of incredible Star Wars Sequel trilogy theories.
