One of the fully grown questions inStar war : The Force Awakenssurrounds the crime syndicate history of Rey , the young detritus pack rat on Jakku who later learns the fashion of the Force to help discover Luke Skywalker . While many fans trust she is part of the Skywalker or Kenobi class Tree , there ’s onetheoryout there that suggests Rey comes from the Dark Side of the Force and is , in fact , Emperor Palpatine ’s granddaughter .
The theory originated with writerJ. Kenji López - Alton Medium , but was after expanded upon byVincent Vendettaon YouTube . The theory moil down to how Rey is confront inThe Force Awakens : Her lightsaber fighting stylus is reminiscent of Emperor Palpatine ’s inRevenge of the Sith , in that they both use a thrust - forward-moving onrush mode that no other Jedi Knight or Sith Lord use throughout theStar Warssaga .
Palpatine ’s voice can be heard during Rey ’s ambition successiveness at Maz Kanata ’s castle as well as during her lightsaber battle with Kylo Ren in the screenplay and the novelization , which are both considered canon . In plus , both Emperor Palpatine and Rey have English accents . This implies a connexion to the Dark Side as , in theStar Warsuniverse , most of the characters with British accent are villains ( Obi - Wan Kenobi and Mon Mothma are two of the few exceptions ) . what is more , Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are both British , but forThe Force Awakens , Boyega talk with an American stress while Ridley expend her natural stress .
The hypothesis further suggests that Rey has a draw of ire inside of her , which comes out as madness when she ’s shooting at Stormtroopers with her chargeman , when she derive delight from reading Kylo Ren ’s thoughts and fears , and during her lightsaber battle at the conclusion ofThe Force Awakens . If Rey does n’t learn to control her ira and rage throughout the sequel trilogy , the hypothesis posit , she may very well end up on the Dark Side of the Force .
