One last thought no one else seems to have touched on; at the end of The Force Awakens, Luke looks quite shocked to see Rey.
As uncovered by Uproxx, fans have been questioning whether Rey could be the Galaxy far, far away’s ultimate villain.
Despite Star Wars: The Force Awakens grossing unthinkable amounts of money around the world, many fans of the sci-fi series were let down by the film, complaining the structure felt eerily similar to that of A New Hope.
Perhaps, then, instead of mirroring Luke’s story from A New Hope, Rey is actually mirroring Anakin Skywalker and could eventually become the next great Star Wars villain.
