ST Daisy Ridley (Rey) in Episode IX

Actually, according to the ST, it appears that using the darkside prolongs/sustains your physical body, while using the good side of the Force will kill you.

 

So...the Rey comic came out.

 

what about it?

 

Well...she does some stuff in it I guess.

I thought it was hilarious that they finally showed Leia and Chewie mourning together.

To me it's not even a good reaction to fan issues with the character. I'm still rolling my eyes at her.

 

I kinda hate the art?

 

Yeah not digging that either. Saves money for me all around.

 

Rey sensing something bad should have been in the film before she ran off to save Mr. Hotcakes.

 

why does she look about 10?

 

That would've required actual coordination between the directors and a long term plan. If there was a long term plan (and I will even allow that JJ Abrams may have outlined such ideas) they were chucked in the bin by the director of TLJ. So now JJ has to scramble to get his ideas out in one film without any set up from the previous work in the series.

On the plus side The Mandalorian is looking really good and comes out before TROS.

 

Omg, that D-0
Probably won't buy it, considering how long it's been since we charged BB-8, but I kinda really want him.

 

I’ll freely admit that I’m still struggling to come to terms with the fact that Palpatine has ‘physically’ returned for Episode IX.
Up until this point, the narrative of the ST has not even slightly alluded to the Emperor perhaps being involved in it somehow?. He gets mentioned once in passing by Luke. When he recounts to Rey that the Old Republic Jedi Order were deceived by the Sith Lord.
The majority of fans who’ll go to see the film, will know and recall that the Emperor perished 30 years ago when he got thrown down the DS2’s huge reactor shaft and exploded.
Vader killing him to save his son was the satisfying full stop to Anakin’s (and Palpatine’s) story...

Theres a huge amount riding on this ‘return of Palpatine’ angle actually making sense and ‘working’
for the Sequel Trilogy. IF they have somehow managed to tie it all in? Then the revelations we learn could serve to actually change the minds and opinions of fans who so far, haven’t exactly been enamoured with this trilogy I’m hoping. Me included.

My theory..
‘Rey’ as we know her, is one of two, ‘perfect’ Force Clones created for a purpose. To what end
and by who? Is a mystery. Dark Rey is the other Clone who appears with the Sith Fleet.
There is no Palpatine bloodline. Sheev had devoted himself to destroying the Jedi and having the
Sith rule the galaxy. That’s some serious machination you just don’t plot overnight.
Dark Lords of the Sith (much like the Jedi I guess) suppress and never give the intrinsic urge to procreate the time of day .
So having ‘Rey’ being a Palpatine by blood would needlessly open a whole can of worms.
Not necessarily a huge retcon I guess, but adding to canon, ‘and Sheev fathered a child etc
just doesn’t sit right with the character.
I think this ‘grandfather’ tag isn’t meant to be taken literally as she’s his granddaughter by blood.
She is in fact a Clone created from his blood.

 

Palpatine was a respected politician up until the events of ROTS. He would have had plenty of time to marry and have a family before TPM. In fact that would have been an ideal front to the public.

 

So away from the facade of being a benevolent Senator? Sidious had to juggle his Sith machinations of Galactic dominance between time with the wife and kids.
And what became of them after ROTS? How did he explain to the missus why his face was all ****ed up? Lol.
In all seriousness though, suddenly adding a dynamic trait to such a character quite late in the day
Is quite risky.

 

This should shut up the bUt ReY haSn'T haD aNy tRaiNinG crowd once and for all

fat chance

 

How?
I dont see the connection.

 

Rey is in tune with the will of the Force, specifically the light side of the Force, which in Lucas' mind was always the more powerful. She needs no training because she is an intuitive conduit. Her focus determines her reality.
