But this was something different.įrom Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu to Qui-Gon Jinn and Ahsoka Tano, these Jedi we know well from past stories lent their strength from beyond the grave to give Rey one last push and allow her to defeat Palpatine. We’ve gotten used to seeing Force ghosts in the Star Wars movies, and sure enough Luke Skywalker appeared as one when Rey returned to Ahch-To to talk some sense into her. Since Rey also brought Leia Organa’s lightsaber with her, she remained armed.įinally, at her most desperate point in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey finally accomplished what she was trying to do at the beginning of the movie: communicating with the spirits of dead Jedi. Presumably the two of them having formed a Force dyad (the first such phenomena in generations) is what allowed Rey to pull off this trick, and it came in handy since Ben needed a weapon to use against the Knights of Ren. But during the movie’s third act, Rey kicked things up a notch by transporting Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber from her hand into Ben Solo’s while they were far away from each other in Palpatine’s temple. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker confirmed numerous times that there can indeed be physical interaction through a Force bond, like when Kylo Ren was able to rip a necklace Rey got on Pasaana right off her neck and when they later dueled each other through this bond. But it was also hinted that there a physical component to the bond, as at the end of one of their conversations, Kylo noticed droplets of water on his glove, seemingly from the same rainfall on Ahch-To, where Rey was located. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Snoke enhanced the Force bond between Rey and Kylo Ren, allowing them to communicate with one another no matter where they were.
Interestingly enough, this ability was shown just a day before the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker preview screenings began in The Mandalorian, as Baby Yoda healed a wound that was close to killing Carl Weathers’ character, Greef Karga. Case in point, Ben Solo, having finally rejected the Kylo Ren moniker, used Force healing to resurrect Rey after she sacrificed herself to destroy Palpatine, but the effort drained him of all his energy, and he faded into the Force soon after she awoke. It’s definitely a useful Force power, although it comes at the expense of the user’s vitality. So she transferred some of her own Force energy into the wound to heal it. Then Rey noticed that the creature was badly injured, hence why it was so aggressive towards them. When Rey and her friends fell into that quicksand-like substance on Pasaana and found themselves underground, they came across a creature who was ready to attack them. While Force healing was frequently used in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, within the official canon, it’s only just now finally been shown off. So I wouldn’t count on her shooting out Force lightning becoming a regular thing. And while she later was met by a vision of herself having turned to the dark side and wielding a cool saberstaff, by the end of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey was still comfortably on the light side. Rey unleashed the Force lightning accidentally, destroying the transport and making her believe that she’d killed her Wookiee friend.įortunately, Chewbacca was actually on another ship, so Rey was soon freed from that guilt.
Unfortunately, the circumstances in which she learned this were less than ideal, as it was during a tug of war with Kylo Ren over the First Order transport ship that she believed was carrying Chewbacca. Yoda conjured a bolt of lightning in The Last Jedi to destroy the tree that had contained the ancient Jedi texts, and Rey discovered she could conjure lightning herself. While Force lightning is a skill most commonly used by Sith and other dark side users, other are also capable of such power.
