Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reveals the kinship between his character and the evil Emperor Palpatine.
The phrase “Luke, I am your father” has gone down in history as one of the most recognized lines of dialogue in the seventh art. Darth Vader revealed his true identity to his son, who at that time was fighting to destroy the reign of terror of the Galactic Empire. It’s always been said that the Star Wars galaxy is too small, because they all seem to know each other and be related in one way or another. In the end the same thing happened with Rey Skywalker, the protagonist of the new trilogy of the saga. In an interview with Sarah Wilson, the actress revealed that she found out about the character’s true identity during the recording of The Rise of Skywalker ”.
The journalist told him how much she liked Rey when she was nobody (in the sense that she was not linked to any source of higher power). “Rey was powerful on her own, so I was saddened when they made her a Palpatine,” Wilson continues. “Daisy said that she also loved the King who came from nowhere. During the first two films they told him precisely that, that he was nobody ”.
Just in case people aren’t putting the tweets together, she said for the first two movies she was told that Rey was no one.

Sequel trilogy and more
Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker closes the trilogy that began with The Force Awakens, a story that takes place years after the fall of the Galactic Empire. However, from the imperial ruins the First Order is born, apparently under the command of Supreme Leader Snoke. This enemy, who also appeared in The Last Jedi, succumbs to the combined force of Rey and Kylo Ren.
After the premiere of the most recent film, the saga will take a break in theaters, although it is already preparing more cinematographic material. In addition to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Taika Waititi is developing another film product. The trilogy of Rian Johnson, director of Episode VIII, continues, but still no dates set.
