Star Wars: Episode 9's Newly Revealed Title 'The Rise Of Skywalker' Hints At Rey's True Parentage
The title of Star Wars: Episode IX was revealed today at Star Wars Celebration 2019 and it's already stirred up a bit of controversy on social media.
It's . . . odd, to say the least: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.
After all, Luke Skywalker (SPOILERS) died in The Last Jedi. Presumably Leia will die in this one given that actor Carrie Fisher has sadly passed away. Her only son is the wicked Kylo Ren, and he's a "Solo" not a "Skywalker" (depending on naming conventions, I suppose.)
P.S. You should probably watch the trailer before continuing,
I've been sitting here thinking about what this movie's title means. With The Last Jedi, I wondered if we'd get a movie where Luke had turned against the Jedi dogma, defying both the dark side and the Jedi Order, and in many ways he did. He didn't want the Jedi to continue—but that didn't mean he wanted the Force to go away, or the light side to fail.
So what does 'The Rise Of Skywalker' mean with Luke dead and Leia almost certainly not what the title is referring to? I suppose it could mean that Kylo Ren turns back to the light side of the Force, but The Last Jedi made it pretty clear that wasn't ever going to happen.
The Last Jedi also revealed Rey's parents—but did so through what I can only describe as a very unreliable narrator. Kylo Ren tells Rey that her parents were "filthy junk traders. Sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me."
"The Rise Of Skywalker" makes me think that Kylo Ren was lying. Who else could be the titular Skywalker in the film's title if not the central hero of this trilogy, Rey herself? I can't piece it together any other way. It's possible that, if this is true, JJ Abrams has "retconned" Rian Johnson's plans in The Last Jedi. It's also possible that Johnson and Abrams and the rest of the Star Wars team were faking us out all along.
Fake-outs are, after all, kind of a big part of this franchise. Many of the trailers include fake-outs and this one might also. Then again, if you've seen the trailer, it could be that major moments in earlier films were the true fake-outs.
So does this mean that Rey is Luke's daughter? Or did Han and Leia have another child? Or were Luke and Leia actually triplets and have a secret brother or sister out there who turns out to be Rey's parent? Or is this all a huge red herring?
I have so many questions.
P.S. I really liked that Rey's parents were nobodies. I hope they remain nobodies. I hope there is some other explanation. I just . . . don't know what that could be.
P.P.S. Some have suggested that the Jedi Order will be replaced by the Skywalker Order or something to that effect. I could see that!
