This appearance represents Rey during the events of Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, where she completes her Jedi training under General Leia Organa, confronts her lineage as the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, and ultimately adopts the name Rey Skywalker.
La Scena
In Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker (set in 35 ABY), this appearance depicts Rey during the final chapter of the sequel trilogy. Continuing her formal Jedi training under General Leia Organa, Rey embarks on a high-stakes mission across the galaxy to locate a Sith Wayfinder. Her journey leads to the revelation that she is the biological granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine. The pivotal climax of this era takes place on the hidden Sith world of Exegol, where Rey stands against Palpatine empowered by the voices and strength of past Jedi. After sacrificing her life to destroy the Emperor, she is resurrected through a life-force transfer by Ben Solo before traveling to Tatooine to lay the Skywalker lightsabers to rest.
Significato
This moment marks the emotional and spiritual narrative resolution of both Rey's personal arc and the overarching Skywalker saga. By discovering that her father was a strandcast clone of Darth Sidious, Rey is forced to confront the darkest possible heritage. Her decision to reject the Sith legacy and stand firmly with the Jedi demonstrates that identity is defined by choice rather than bloodline. Furthermore, her bond as part of a prophesied Force dyad with Ben Solo culminates in the ultimate defeat of the Sith and her symbolic adoption of the surname Skywalker on Tatooine, ensuring the survival and renewal of the Jedi tradition.
Design
Rey's aesthetic in The Rise of Skywalker reflects her transition into an established Jedi Knight while retaining functional elements of her past. She wears pristine white, multi-layered Jedi robes paired with white trousers, secured across her chest with brown leather cross-straps and matching leather arm wrappings. Her hair is styled into an elegant, braided up-do that offers a more refined look than her earlier scavenger wrap. To complete this iconic incarnation, Rey later constructs her own distinct golden-yellow lightsaber from her quarterstaff components after burying the Skywalker lightsabers in the sands of Tatooine.
