It's no secret that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will finally answer most, if not all, of the questions we've always had about the Skywalker Saga. For instance, will the Balance in the Force finally be restored? A new theory suggests that Rey and Kylo Ren might be the key to this but not just because of the Light and the Dark Side.
The new theory was shared by Inverse and it suggests that Rey's true role isn't just about representing the Light Side of the Force. Interestingly, it purports that Rey might be the female version of Anakin Skywalker in that she was also conceived by the Force (or midichlorians). In addition to that, she may have been the daughter of Leia Organa who had to send the baby away to keep her safe since it could mean a major power struggle between Rey and Kylo Ren.
"This would also explain some of Kylo's issues. He's fighting against not only the legacy of Darth Vader but consciously or subconsciously against the reality that Rey, his sister is more powerful in the force than he is and closer in identity and power to his hero Darth than he is. Kylo's redemptive arc will be his acceptance of Rey's power and prophetic importance and submission to this power in an effort to defeat Palpatine. In other words, true evil is the patriarchy of Palpatine and when Kylo joins Rey in the fight, together they are truly bringing balance to the force by not only defeating Palpatine but also the pervasive male power structure of the force in the Star Wars universe," the theory reads.
That's certainly an interesting idea. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that The Rise of Skywalker will suddenly confirm that Rey is actually related to Kylo. Sure, we've been there before in the original trilogy when Leia was revealed to be Luke Skywalker's sister. However, it would be redundant to go back to that plot twist at this point.
What do you think of the theory? Could Rey actually be Kylo's secret sister who has the true power to bring Balance to the Force? Sound off in the comments below.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will hit theaters on December 20.
