In this film, Luke Skywalker becomes the hero for those people once more. Because what if being a hero isn't so much about never getting anything wrong, but about how you respond when you do? The Last Jedi gives us a look at that through two legendary heroes: Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
But that itself ended up not being the final revelation, as Rey was firmly connected as Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter (yes, the Emperor Palpatine) in The Rise of Skywalker. The culmination of that movie saw her reject that family and instead carry on the mantle of the Skywalker name.
At first, most fans assumed Rey was the daughter of either Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi. And during a 2020 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ridley was asked if she knew about Rey's parentage from the beginning. She replied, "No.
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.
Rey had ended that particular disturbance in the Force. By removing Palpatine's control over the Force, its balance was finally restored – and that meant Rey was the chosen one and it was never Anakin Skywalker (and nor was it Luke, as was sometimes argued). It was only ever Rey, the granddaughter of Palpatine.
Anakin ultimately fulfilled his role as the Chosen One and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling Qui-Gon Jinn's belief in the prophecy that foretold Anakin's destiny. Accepting his fate, Anakin joined his Jedi mentors in death by becoming one with the Force.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The birth of Zayne
Zayne was born to his mother Rey Palpatine in the year after the Battle of Exegol, through mysterious and perplexing circumstances. His father could not have been Ben Solo, he died before Zayne could have been conceived whilst Rey was not intimate with a single man either.
Anakin Skywalker is the son of Shmi Skywalker, born without a father through the Force. He is the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the father-in-law of Han Solo, and the maternal grandfather of Ben Solo.
The Order now numbered at least 100 Jedi, possibly more, with a number of Jedi Masters actively training new Padawans.
Years later, Finn and Roselinen have married and had two children, Bonnie and Jay. Quilton tells them that an ancient book has been discovered revealing that the door to Finn's world appears periodically.
It wasn't until an Academy screening of “Rise of Skywalker” after the film's theatrical opening that Abrams said Finn wanted to tell Rey that he is Force sensitive.
HUGE STAR WARS REVEAL! Rey RETURNS and is PREGNANT with Force Ghost Kylo Ren's Baby!?! Disney's biggest reveal at SW celebration: Force Ghost Kylo Ren knocked up Rey.
So let's look a bit closer at the legacy you're attaching your kid to when you name them Kylo: Our boy Kylo was born as one Ben Solo, the child of Han Solo and Leia Organa, named after the famous Jedi Obi-Wan (aka: Ben) Kenobi. Ben was trained in the ways of the Jedi by his uncle, Luke Skywalker.
In a new excerpt, it's revealed that the names of Rey's parents are Dathan and Miramir. Dathan is the dad and Miramir the mother, if you were wondering; it's not always clear with these names from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
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.
From Star Wars: The Force Awakens' opening day, fans had their theories, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi seemed to squash all of them only for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to provide a surprising answer: Rey is Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter, and her father a genetic strandcast (not quite a clone) of the Sith lord.
In a section on Force abilities, it is said that Rey has an innate Force power called psychometry. Check it out courtesy of Screen Rant. “Some Force abilities require years of training, a form of instinctual aptitude, or a very strong connection to the Force to access.
