Star Wars
Although the release of Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker is now two years ago, we issue a spoiler warning for this news if you don't want to know what the background story of the main character Rey is all about .Also interesting: Star Wars - Finn actor felt the role as a prison
In the ninth and, for the time being, last film in the main series, we find out that Rey is the granddaughter of the diabolical emperor Darth Sidious - or rather the daughter of a clone of the Emperor who chose the light side of the Force.
This is in stark contrast to what we learned earlier in Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi: In Rian Johnsons The film gave the heroine the bad guy Kylo Ren to understand that she was a nobody whose parents would have sold her to drink for money.

A new concept art of Kylo Ren has been posted on Twitter showing him in an earlier idea as "The Grave Robber". var lstExcludedArticleTicker = '1367809,1367607,1367171,1367023'; This was received very controversially at the time, as it seemed as if director and screenwriter Johnson, who is accused from many quarters, of having ignored the threads of Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens, again simply with the steam hammer Having destroyed the storylines that were raised.According to Rey actress Daisy Ridley, this was by no means the case. She told USA Today's Sariah Wilson that Rey was planned as Nobody during the entire filming of the first two films. She would have loved that idea. Only in episode 9 suddenly it was mentioned that her character was related to Darth Sidious.

This gives rise to three possibilities: First, Daisy is telling the truth, and Rey's origins were planned as Johnson enacted them in Episode 8. Second, the actress was deliberately kept in the dark, possibly to avoid spoilers. And thirdly, it tries to take the wind out of the sails of the toxic debate a little with this presentation.

Was Rey's role always planned as a nobody who had to find his own place in the universe and was then rewritten after the criticism of Episode 8, or was a special origin intended for her from the start?

Star Wars theory: Obi-Wan broke Jedi rules by keeping Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber
Andor: Diego Luna teases Disney+ Star Wars seriesThe final battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christiansen) was an emotional collection of scenes. The Revenge of the Sith showcased Anakin finally transitioning to the Dark Side of the Force and becoming the bane of the galaxy, Darth Vader. After a tense battle, Obi-Wan utilised the high ground and sliced off Anakin’s limbs with his lightsaber.
Obi-Wan told him: “You were supposed to be the chosen one!” before taking Anakin’s lightsaber and leaving him to die on Mustafar
In the next chronological movie, A New Hope, Ben Kenobi gave Luke Skywalker Anakin’s blue-bladed lightsaber.
The latest Star Wars book, The High Republic: Into the Dark, reveals the Kyber Crystals used within lightsabers were traditionally repurposed to commemorate fallen Jedi.
The Kyber Crystals are the catalysts inside lightsabers which create the powerful laser swords the Jedi use to fight with.
While studying in Into the Dark, Padawan Reath Silas was shown the Jedi Temple’s Kyber Arch.

The Kyber Arch is a monument built in the temple made out of Kyber Crystals from the lightsabers of dead Jedi.
The arch is built thick at its base, with an extremely narrow pathway at the top.
The structure was then left in the Jedi Temple as a test for Padawans and Jedi throughout the generations.
Jedi would be tasked with climbing the structure in an assignment described as an “advanced meditation technique”.
In Into the Dark the Kyber Arch was described as “beautiful”, but acted as “a reminder of the price their fellow Jedi had paid in the pursuit of justice over the past millennia”.
When Obi-Wan kept Anakin’s legendary blue blade after defeating him he broke the rules of the Jedi’s legacy.
The Jedi Knight should have used the crystal to add to the ever-growing Kyber Arch at the Jedi Temple.
However, considering Obi-Wan and Anakin were such close friends, it makes sense for the warrior to have struggled with the idea of giving up all that was left of him.

What’s more, the Jedi Temple had recently been overrun by the Clone Army and the Sith - so he may not have even been able to reach the Kyber Arch safely.
Also, if Obi-Wan did not keep the lightsaber, he would have never been able to recruit Luke Skywalker as a new Jedi Knight in the following films.
The iconic weapon would have also not been featured in Disney’s sequel trilogy, with Rey (Daisy Ridley) finding the weapon and couriering it back to Luke on Ahch-To.
It was recently revealed Rey actor Daisy almost had Spider-Man star Tom Holland join her on the sequel trilogy, until the British heartthrob flubbed his Star Wars audition.
Holland confessed: “I remember my audition for Star Wars, I was like four or five auditions in, and I think I was auditioning for John Boyega’s role.
“I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her and she was just a drone. So I was doing all of this, like: ‘We gotta get back to the ship!’ And she was going: ‘Bleep, bloop bloop, bleep bloop.’ I just couldn’t stop laughing.
“I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they’re called. Yeah, I obviously didn't get the part. That wasn’t my best moment.”
The Star Wars films are available to watch on Disney Plus now.
Star Wars The High Republic: Into the Dark is out now.
