![]() It’s possible Kylo told the truth when he said her parents were nobodies, because the story of her creation is one that lies in the secrets of the Force. Rey’s vision in the Mirror Cave when she sought the answers of her parentage didn’t show junkers, it showed only Rey. It’s not impossible that Rey was Palpatine’s second attempt and the mother that gave birth to her on Jakku was merely a vessel, like Shmi Skywalker (Pernilla August). It’s highly implied in Revenge of the Sith (2005) that he created Anakin. But why would Rey need Kylo to save her from the dark side? Well ,let’s not forget Palpatine’s ability to create life from the Force. There’s some expectation that Kylo will be redeemed, but maybe that redemption comes in the form of him being convinced to turn his back on the light and sacrifice himself to the dark side in order to prevent the Emperor from seducing Rey. If it is a vision of a possible future, does that mean it’s Rey’s? Perhaps it’s Kylo’s vision, a warning from Luke, or a manipulation by Palpatine, to show what will happen if he strays from the dark side and how another, worse evil, rises in his place. The setting surrounding Rey in that final teaser moment appears cavelike, though it could also be the interior of a damaged Star Destroyer. What seems most likely is that Rey’s turn to the dark side is a force vision, not unlike Luke’s journey into the Cave of Evil on Dagobah, where his face was revealed under Vader’s shattered helmet. The return of Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) could certainly lead to a compelling reason for Rey to turn dark. She turned down joining him to rule the galaxy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s turned her back on the dark side for good. ![]() And her connection to Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), whether we read it as romantic or platonic, is potentially seductive. As Luke revealed to her in The Last Jedi (2017), she was immediately drawn to the dark side on Ahch-To. While she keeps it buried, there’s a measure of anger and fear within her. ![]() Yet there is a darkness to her that comes from a lack of security in her parentage, a desire to be more than an orphan from Jakku. On the surface, her personality doesn’t seem geared to the perversion of the Force that begets Lords of the Sith, or even Jedi like Luke who struggle between the dark and the light. There’s an eagerness to learn that comes with Rey’s characterization, but she lacks the competitive intensity of Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and the impatience of Luke (Mark Hamill). But a possible jump from light to dark would need to rely on a major narrative turning point, such as the death of several key allies or a startling revelation about her identity. But her emergence as a complex hero does not prohibit a potential shift to a complex villain. She’s the first female lead and the first Jedi who isn’t part of the Skywalker lineage (barring an unlikely retcon) to carry the fate of the galaxy on her shoulders. Her importance to the franchise can’t be understated. A great memorable quote from the Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi movie on - Luke: Never. There, she said to put Grogu on the seeing stone it would send a signal and bring a teacher who would determine Baby Yoda's fate.Since her debut in The Force Awakens (2015), Rey has emerged as a fan-favorite character who ushered in a whole new generation of Star Wars fans. But she saw the potential for good as well, and sent Mando and Grogu to Tython. ![]() Her advice to Mando that Grogu is not in a good place emotionally to train was shocking for fans, who never considered Baby Yoda might be capable of evil. It also meant she got an up-close and personal look at how someone turns to the Dark Side when Anakin chose to become Darth Vader. Her story of being padawan to Anakin is the heart of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Ahsoka knows what it is to be a Force-sensitive student, taken under the wing of a full-fledged Jedi for training. Warning: Spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 2 follow. This all begs an even bigger question: Will Baby Yoda turn to the Dark Side? The Mandalorian fans are starting to see the wisdom in Ahsoka's caution. Moreover, upon meeting him, Ahsoka refused to take him on as padawan, for fear of what Grogu might become. It turns out, Grogu's story was one of tragedy and fear, as he hid away while Anakin Skywalker slaughtered his Jedi youngling friends in the Temple. But the reveal of his name, Grogu, turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Once upon a time, The Mandalorian fans assumed learning Baby Yoda's real name would be the ultimate answer to the mysteries surrounding the character.
