What's up Star Wars Fans?
My name is Prince, and I am an Urban Acolyte.
The new footage from The Rise of Skywalker shown on that trailer at D23 had everyone
talking when we saw a dark side version of Rey with one of those nunchuck lightsaber
hilts that folded out into a lightsaber pike, like the ones carried by the Jedi Temple Guardians
and Fallen Jedi Master Pong Krell.
Since seeing that image, people have been trying to guess about what's going on in that
image -- is Rey going over to the dark side?
Is there a dark side clone of Rey?
Is it a force vision of Rey if she were to fall to the dark side?
Well, a writer at Star Wars website may have spilled the beans--but there's actually a
pretty huge rumor going around that totally explains that scene -- if the rumor turns
out to be true, it's going to be a really HUGE spoiler, so if you don't want anything
spoiled for Star Wars episode 9, you should probably not watch this video.
Okay-- if you haven't heard about the post on Star Wars website that spoiled the dark
side Rey scene, someone wrote that it was a vision.
Now if you haven't been following Jason Ward at Making Star Wars, Jedi Praxis, or Bespin
Bulletin, then you may not have heard any of this stuff-- but Making Star Wars has a
pretty extensive track record of reporting rumors that turn out to be true with a high
degree of accuracy.
The last few days--the people who run those have been going back and forth comparing rumors,
and they've basically been finding that they have been hearing the same information.
If none of their stuff turns out to be true--well, then maybe there's someone leaking a bunch
of false information, but it's kind of strange that you have 3 different sources reporting
the same stuff since last year, and a lot of it is turning out to be true.
So to get to the details on Rey's vision-- why did she have this vision of herself falling
to the dark side?
Well this is actually something Rey sees when she touches an artifact, possibly a Sith artifact,
and it actually takes her to where Palpatine is located.
Let's go back to some information that I can't remember if I ever reported in a video, or
not-- This story, although it involves the war between the First Order and the Resistance
is going to turn into like this Indiana Jones type adventure with the war as the backdrop
for the adventure.
Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren are competing against Rey, Finn, and Poe to locate an Item
of Power--which is something that got introduced in the Darth Vader comic book run that picked
up just after Revenge of the Sith.
Both sides believe this item of power will be the key to them winning the war, but it
looks like it's going to actually be the thing that frees Palpatine from wherever he has
been in the Unknown Regions of Space.
So we have this race between Rey, Finn, and Poe and Kylo Ren with the Knights of Ren to
locate this item of power using something called a Wayfinder device.
Now here is where things get really interesting because Kylo Ren is using Darth Vader's Wayfinder
device, but Rey-- Rey is going to use Palpatine's Wayfinder device.
Since this is going to involve the search for an item of power that appears to be connected
to the Sith--there will be a new scheme where Palpatine tells Kylo Ren that he wants to
turn Rey to the dark side, so that they can rule the galaxy as his heirs-- the grandson
of Vader and well... maybe Rey has some connection to Palpatine?
Could she be his granddaughter?
We will have to wait and see.
So right now this is what it looks like-- Rey finds this artificat that will eventually
lead her to Palpatine.
When she has this vision--she wakes up Palpatine, and he becomes interested in her.
Kylo Ren, seeking more power makes a pact with Palpatine to bring Rey to him, so that
she can be turned--and this is starting to sound a lot like it's setting up the throne
room scene on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi with Luke, Vader, and Palpatine.
Now there's a whole lot more about this rumor-- I mean, if this stuff turns out to be true,
I may have spoiled the entire movie-- but at this point, I'm more interested in discussing
everything AFTER the movie is out--so maybe I can go back and compare these rumors to
the final cut once the movie is out.
But this gets into Rey's parents and possibly how she ended up on Jakku-- the stuff with
Rey's parents is too much for just 1 video, so I'll have to post another one about her
parents and how they are connected with the Wayfinders-- it also explains C3P0's red eyes--
like basically, this thing with Palpatine will take over the entire movie, which makes
me feel even more confident that we will be dealing with the war between the First Order
and the Resistance for the next decade of Star Wars.
Anyway-- that's all I'm going to say for this video.
What do you guys think about this dark side vision and it being tied to some plot to actually
turn Rey to the dark side?
