One of the biggest revelations in The Last Jedi was the identity of Rey’s parents. Kylo Ren tells Rey that her parents were nobody special, and that they sold her for quick money. While this didn’t please everybody, it added something special to the legacy of Star Wars: that an individual’s lineage didn’t define their connection to the Force. In Th...
Related to the question of Rey’s ancestry is the larger idea that anyone can be Force sensitive. Director Rian Johnson drove this point home in the final scene of The Last Jedi. A slave boy subjugated by the upper class of Canto Bight is seen using the Force to move a broom, suggesting that it isn’t necessary to be a Skywalker or a Kenobi to have c...

When Rey runs into his Force ghost on Ahch-To in The Rise of Skywalker, he has a very different outlook, chastising her for tossing away her lightsaber. The reason for this change, which many fans have taken as a swipe at R...

Rose is a Rian Johnson creation, and her omission from the film’s central action is seen as one of many passive aggressive rebukes of Johnson’s vision. Worse, Tran was the subject of racist and se...
In the final scene of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey visits Luke’s home planet, Tatooine. She’s there to hide Luke and Leia’s lightsabers, and just before declaring herself a Skywalker, she sees the Force ghosts of her mentors in the distance. Many fans wondered why two other powerful Skywalker figures, Anakin and Ben (previously Kylo Ren), didn’t show...

The same will likely be true for The Rise of Skywalker — with some distance, praise and criticism of the film will be more objective. Terrio’s explanations have helped start the process.
