Kennedy Says Kenobi Family Violates Lucas' Jedi Star Wars Abrams and writer Chris Terrio eventually landed on the universally heralded idea of a Palpatine resurrection and familial tie to Rey - and while there are plenty of questions about how that decision was reached, the head of Lucasfilm has explained why a Kenobi relationship wouldn't have worked. As Daisy Ridley has discussed, the creators of Episode IX were indecisive about the character's lineage, and at one point a connection to Obi-Wan was strongly considered. Others noted the similarity in her fighting style to Sidious and went to the dark side - somehow, Palpatine returned, and they were right.īut Rey wasn't always going to be related to Palpatine, not even during The Rise of Skywalker's production. Some fans thought Rey would be a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi, largely due to the Jedi's voice being present in her Force-back vision.
Rumors had hinted at the character being the child of Han and Leia (and Kylo Ren's sibling) until details of her first meeting with Luke leaked embellishments of the leak are the source of the " my baby girl" meme that still floats around. In the early days, the prevailing theory was that Rey was Luke Skywalker's daughter. JJ Abrams disagreed, as The Rise of Skywalker retconned the heroine into being the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine. Speculation naturally ran rampant after The Force Awakens hinted at multiple possibilities, and discussions even continued after The Last Jedi seemingly closed the book on that part of the character's story. For several years, the biggest question in Star Wars was Rey's lineage.
The sequel trilogy may have concluded, but it still remains a hot topic of discourse.
