Talk:Rey Skywalker

Picture
I have a better picture of her that shows her face. Can I add it? Skywalker2255 (talk) 23:03, December 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you link to your version? I tried to get a clear version of her face, but the scene in the trailer moves so fast that the quality isn't very good. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:05, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

Here is the version I have from this link. http://i.imgur.com/SFBhOezl.jpg Skywalker2255 (talk) 20:36, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Did you take this screen capture yourself, or find it elsewhere? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:12, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

I took one myself, this one is an example of the one i have. Skywalker2255 (talk) 21:35, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added a slightly smaller version of your image (smaller in order to increase the quality of it). You can see the image here, with your name credited as the one who took the screenshot. Thanks for sharing it! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:59, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I was having problems when uploading it. It wasn't showing up. So thanks. Skywalker2255 (talk) 23:14, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

Planet
At Star Wars Celebration, her planet was named as Jacoo or Jaqoo, Or Jacu. No spelling obviously....
 * Jakku, the planet was spelled out on Twitter. Please sign your post. -  AV-6R7 User talk:AV-6R7 18:00, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

homage?
Does anyone know (or know how to find out) if Rey's name is a deliberate reference to Del Rey? --71.121.143.171 04:34, August 26, 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Canon and Legends
Lets say for example Rey is revealed to be the daughter of Han and Leia, would her 'canon' article on Wookieepedia be merged with Jaina Solo's 'Legends' page, or would she still be considered a 100% original character despite the similarities?
 * She would be considered a 100% original character. Even if she was Leia Organa's daughter, that's not the same thing as being a "canon version" of Jaina Solo. The canon/Legends tabs system is only for direct counterparts. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:42, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

Height
The height is based on actress daisy Ridley's real height. Skywalker2255 (talk) 04:21, October 22, 2015 (UTC) It says Anakin is 1.88 meters which is about 6 foot 2 which is how tall Hayden Christensen is. Skywalker2255 (talk) 04:27, October 22, 2015 (UTC) I don't know why they wouldn't say the character is the same height as the actor unless they were wearing a suit of armor that made them taller. I am assuming that we aren't gonna say that Phasma is 6' 3" (1.90m) when the actress is as well. I can understand about not having sources but some things just should be common sense. lol Skywalker2255 (talk) 04:49, October 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * That may be true, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the character. Look at Darth Vader, for instance. Cwedin (talk) 04:23, October 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * With some characters this is the case, but for some it isn't. Having a source on the actor's height isn't the same as a source for the character. Cwedin (talk) 04:38, October 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Mon Mothma is canonically 1.50 meters, but both actresses who portrayed her are over 1.70 meters. Is that logical? No. But that's the way it is. --LelalMekha (talk) 08:02, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Character Name Origin
There's an IMDB trivia point floating around stating that her name is inspired by a production crew member:. What's the story here? -- LordTBT Talk! 03:51, December 8, 2015 (UTC)

Rey Skywalker

is it me or i have the idea she is Luke's daughter?

I myself was actually wondering the same thing. She has to be in my mind, but I didn't catch any official mentioning of it in the movie, and it's not in the article. Probably won't know until the sequels. I'm gonna have to see it again soon.

--Noah Tall (talk) 18:36, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

There was no mention of her being a Skywalker in the movie. Unless there is some other source that that is coming from, her name should not be listed as "Rey Skywalker."

Yeah, but if she is Luke's daughter, maybe they're keeping it as a surprise until the second of the trilogy, or maybe the third. Still, I agree that we should hold off on naming her "Rey Skywalker" until it's conclusively confirmed. --DarthKenny (talk) 06:00, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Happabores or Other Creatures
I think the creature named in "Rey accidentally released three Happabores" is incorrect. The wiki article for those creatures says they are herbivores, which clearly the creatures she released by opening the three doors were not.

I don't know what they *are* called, so I couldn't edit the article to fix it. If I find out what they are, I will post again. (A friend of mine says they were called Rothgars, but I can't find that anywhere to confirm.)

Tericee (talk) 21:19, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

They are indeed called Rathtars. Happabore is the animal drinking at the watering hole with Finn on Jakku. --Rotanagol (talk) 03:11, December 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * I corrected it to Rathtar. --UnimportantHero (talk) 08:34, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! Tericee (talk) 06:25, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Birthdate
Is her stated birthdate (15 years after the Battle of Endor) correct? That would make her fifteen in Force Awakens, which seems very not accurate. Should the date be 15 ABY (rather than after Battle of Endor)?
 * She's nineteen. So, since ABY is not canon terminology (that's Legends), that would mean she was born "approximately 11 years after the Battle of Endor." - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:11, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Fight with Ren
Ren did not flee, "prompting him to flee". She defeated him. He fell down and A big gaping hole opened between them.

3.3 Factual correction
Fact Check.

I don't recall C3P0 accompanying Rey, R2D2 and Chewbacca to go and see Luke Skywalker.

'Her Blaster Pistol'
I believe some mention should be made that this blaster pistol was provided to Rey by Han Solo. It was not hers to begin with and she was not proficient with its use, at least at first.

JeiFinn (talk) 23:49, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

Protagonist of the Protagonists?

Is Rey considered to be the main character/protagonist over Finn, Poe, and Han since she defeated Kylo?

Force Abilities
Rey was able to make great strides in her abilities by allowing the force to guide her when she was "calm, at peace" as taught by Yoda to Luke.
 * She does this when Kylo has her captive and is trying to extract the information that he wants. She cringes and struggles to resist him, then has a moment of calm as seen on her face. She then does not have to struggle to resist and actually "reads" Kylo's fears.
 * The next example happens when she tries to influence the storm trooper to let her go. Her first two attempts fail, then she closes her eyes in a moment of calm and forces (no pun intended) her captive to release her.
 * The final major leap happens when saber fighting Kylo in the forest. The fight is clearly on Kylos side up to the point where they lock sabers and Kylo offers to train her in the ways of the force. This thought again brings Rey to a point of calm as she closes her eyes and thereafter fights with more skill and precision.
