Star Wars Sequels: Obi-Wan's Legacy Fixed Rey's Story
13 Jul
Summary
- Rey being Obi-Wan's granddaughter would explain his voice in The Force Awakens.
- This lineage would connect Rey to the prequels and resolve narrative issues.
- It offers emotional stakes to Rey's fight against Emperor Palpatine.
A compelling fan theory proposes that altering Rey's lineage in "The Rise of Skywalker" to make her Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter could have significantly improved the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. This narrative shift would retroactively explain the mysterious inclusion of Obi-Wan's voice calling Rey's name in "The Force Awakens."
Furthermore, such a connection would provide a plausible reason for Obi-Wan's supposed acceptance of Anakin and Padme's secret marriage during the prequel era. It also offers a much-needed emotional depth to Rey's climactic battle against Emperor Palpatine.
This proposed revision aims to mend narrative missteps within the sequels and strengthen their ties to the earlier Star Wars films. It offers a potentially more resonant conclusion for Rey's journey and the overarching saga.
