Regardless of how favorable either of these decisions have been received, the canon has firmly established Rey as a Palpatine, but with her own chosen decision to carry on the Skywalker name instead.
In The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final film in the sequel trilogy, Palpatine is revealed to be the mastermind behind the First Order and creator of its puppet leader, Snoke, as well as the grandfather of protagonist Rey.
In The Rise of Skywalker's novelization, we learn that Rey's father was a failed clone of Emperor Palpatine. He was initially created to be a vessel to house Palpatine and his Sith power. However, Rey's father proved incapable of doing so.
The Emperor claimed Rey was a Palpatine in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - but she was never truly part of his family, and even he knew it. The Emperor insisted Rey was his granddaughter in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – but Rey Palpatine was never really a Palpatine at all.
She does not have a baby bump, her hand never goes to her stomach to indicate she's carrying a child, and there wasn't exactly any time for her to have conceived a child with anyone in the course of the film, including Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.
This use of a Force power generally reserved for the Sith is foreshadowing for the movies biggest twist: Rey herself is a Palpatine, born of Sith blood and heir to the throne of her grandfather's Final Order. This is a revelation that sends Rey into a rage.
Despite being enemies, Rey and Kylo Ren share a connection called a 'Force dyad' and eventually become romantically involved with one another. Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage.
One could theorize that he bore a child through some sort of space artificial insemination, or something closer to what we've seen in canon Star Wars material. In the canon comic Darth Vader No. 25, it is revealed that Palpatine somehow used the Force to manipulate midichlorions to impregnate Shmi Skywalker.
Rey was born on Hyperkarn in 15 ABY during the rise of the New Republic. Her father, Dathan, was a bioengineered Strand-Cast cloned from the genetic template of Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who ruled the Galactic Empire as Emperor Palpatine.
By the end of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey had become the last known Jedi of the Skywalker Saga. With all that being said, Rey was not left as the last remaining Force-sensitive character.
The mystery of Rey's parents was kept secret for years, and Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley revealed the original idea was to have Obi-Wan as her father. For several years, Rey's heritage was the biggest question within Star Wars fandom.
A crystal embodies the Jedi as the heart of the lightsaber, and pure kyber has no color until it's bonded to the Force user. This process likely resulted in Rey Skywalker's lightsaber being yellow.
Anakin was actually the result of immaculate conception, so he doesn't have a father. His mother, Shmi Skywalker, conceived her child without a male partner, and instead Anakin was created through the Force.
Rey's lightsaber was a yellow-bladed lightsaber that was constructed by the Jedi Rey Skywalker following the First Order-Resistance War.
But Rey responded that she was all of the Jedi. Aided by the spirits of the Jedi who had come before her, she used both Luke and Leia's lightsabers to deflect Sidious's Force energies back at him, destroying the Sith Lord once and for all.
palpatine was a master of deception. and for years. he employed the use of a sith cloaking technique. known as a force mask.
The Star Wars universe establishes Snoke as a Force-sensitive artificial being created by Emperor Palpatine to reclaim control of the galaxy. As Palpatine's puppet ruler, Snoke leads the First Order against the New Republic and manipulates Luke Skywalker's nephew, Ben Solo, into becoming Kylo Ren.
The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke.
While on the planet, when someone asked her who she was, Rey responded by saying that she was "Rey Skywalker." Although she wasn't related to them, both Luke and Leia had been mentors to Rey throughout the sequel trilogy.
So does Finn love Rey? No, not like that. The films and comments made from those involved in making the trilogy have made clear that despite seeming to have some romantic tension between them, there is nothing going on between Rey and Finn.
Even though Finn is once again Force-sensitive, and tries to tell Rey about it throughout the film, the film ends without the story addressing his abilities. While fans were left wondering about Finn's Force status, subsequent Lego films have confirmed it, and Finn is already on the road to becoming a Jedi.
And then there was a third explanation, the one I thought I'd spotted in my second screening: Finn knew about Rey Palpatine. "You don't know what she's going through," Finn tells Poe after they crash-land the Falcon on Kef Bir, the planet with the horses and the Death Star wreckage. "Leia and I do."
A kiss of gratitude, acknowledgement of their connection, celebration that they'd found each other at last.
Rey's parents are none other than Dathan and Miramir. No, that's not a typo. Her dad's name is Dathan, which is at least slightly better than Sheev Palpatine. But only slightly.
