The mysterious heritage ofDaisy Ridley’s Rey is one of the biggest secrets hinted at inStar Wars: The Force Awakens, with new rumors surfacing today that claim Rey will finally learn about her parents inStar Wars: The Last Jedi. As we continue the long wait until the first trailer arrives, new leaked scene details could hint thatThe Last Jediwill mirrorEmpire Strikes Backin yet another way. Be warned, there will be plenty of POTENTIAL SPOILERS below forStar Wars 8, so read on at your own risk.
While Disney and LucasFilm still haven’t released any official plot details, there is one particular scene that has been reported on quite a bit. This scene takes place on Ahch-To, where Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and his Knights of Ren confrontLuke Skywalker(Mark Hamill) and Rey (Daisy Ridley). Previous reports reveal that Kylo Ren has left his mask behind, but YouTuberMike Zeroh’s sources from Ireland claim that Kylo will be wearing his mask in this scene. Here’s the official description forMike Zeroh’s video below, which reveals that these details came from leaked footage from the proudction.
“Today we discussStar Wars Episode 8 The Last Jediand the Kylo Ren vs Rey lightsaber duel scene description. These are minor details that have been handed down to me some weeks ago and I am happily reporting it to you now. We do know that Luke Skywalker and Rey will be together on Ahch-to and that Kylo Ren and hisKnights Of Renarrive at some point thanks for leaked footage of the production of star wars episode 8. InStar Wars: The Force AwakensRey vs Kylo Ren scene on Starkiller base Kylo Ren fights without his helmet, however inStar Wars: The Last Jedihe will not! It has also been described that Kylo Ren will vs Rey before he goes up against his uncle Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Master. Another interesting detail is that Rey will be hanging onto the edge of a cliff! this was shot inside of pinewood studios which is located in the UK and was used as a shot for the outside scene that was filmed over in Ireland for star war episode 8. It will be interesting if we get a glimpse of this battle in the Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi Teaser Trailer or the Star Wars Episode 8 Trailer, do keep in mind the Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi Leaked Trailer recently was indeed a fake but a convincing one, the trailer is set to drop in April. But as for this this is a legitimate Star Wars Episode 8 plot leak when it comes to these two characters, mind you these details are minor but they are absolutely correct and you will have to wait til the film comes out to see how correct these details really are.”
Previous reports have also claimed that Rey is hanging off the cliff at some point during her battle withKylo Ren, but this new report claims that scene was shot at Pinewood Studios, with Rey hanging from a set that was made out of foam, to represent the cliff. This scene was previously reported to take place in the middle of the film, but this report claims this will be the final confrontation.Daisy Ridleyteased on a recent podcast appearance that Rey does get injured in the movie, perhaps both physically and mentally, and that injury may likely happen during this scene. Earlier reports claim that Rey simply “disappears” during this battle, but it isn’t clear if she falls off the cliff of not. Perhaps the most interesting detail from this six-minute video, though, is that Kylo Ren reportedly tells Rey some important details while she is hanging from this cliff, withMike Zerohspeculating that this could mirror a scene inThe Phantom Menace, hinting that she may be related to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Mike Zeroh speculates that this information could injure Rey “mentally,” which may or may not have something to do with Rey’s mysterious parents.
This cliff-hanging scene could also mirror a scene fromEmpire Strikes Back, where Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker that he is his father. Given their age, it’s virtually impossible that Kylo Ren is Rey’s father, but perhaps she could be related to him in some other way. The heritage of bothDaisy Ridley’s Rey andJohn Boyega’s Finn are among the biggest mysteries that have yet to be solved in this newStar Wars trilogy, and if this Rey/Kylo Ren scene does reveal Rey’s parents, it would be just another instance of how this movie reportedly mirrorsEmpire Strikes Back, in the same way thatThe Force Awakensmirrors the firstStar Warsmovie,A New Hope.
There has been speculation that Rey starts her Jedi training with Luke Skywalker inStar Wars: The Last Jedi, much like how Luke Skywalker started his Jedi training with Yoda inEmpire Strikes Back. She will reportedly leave in the middle of her training when Kylo Ren captures Finn and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), but none of those plot details have been confirmed yet. It’s possible some of these details may be confirmed in the first trailer, but it seems that the studio is making fans wait a bit longer than usual to see the first footage. The studio released the first 88-second teaser toStar Wars: The Force Awakensin November 2014, just over a year before it hit theaters, but it is believed that the firstStar Wars: The Last Jedi trailerwon’t debut untilStar WarsCelebration this April, just eight months before its December 15 release. Take a look atMike Zeroh’s YouTube video below, where he discusses this important scene inStar Wars: The Last Jedi.
