![]() ![]() WE REALLY DESERVE MORE OF DARK REY AND HER SABER BECAUSE OF ONE SLICK FEATURE - In rewatching the Dark Rey scene from The Rise of Skywalker, you’ll notice one huge problem. Like Kylo Ren’s red crossguard saber, Dark Rey’s double-bladed saber is spitty and crackly, implying it was homemade and that her turn to the Dark Side wasn’t entirely complete. This idea is also supported by onscreen evidence. If we combine these two pieces of information (Light Rey wanted a saber with a hinge and Dark Rey left her actual staff behind) you can come up with a pretty fun storyline supported by canonical material: Had Rey turned to the Dark Side, she would have thrown out her old quarterstaff and built her new flippy-saber from scratch. In the new feature, spins this idea stating, “early designs envisioned the Dark side saber as being created from Rey’s staff, but it was decided that the weapon would have been too much in line with the Light side version of her character.” This explains the specificity of the design, it stems from Rey’s normal thought process on how to reverse engineer her experience fighting with a quarterstaff into a lightsaber. And yet, it’s very practical and built in a specific way that suggests a kind of alternate universe storyline about Dark Rey and what she might have been into.ĭARK REY’S SABER HAS SOME STUFF IN COMMON WITH LIGHT REY’S SABER FROM THE END OF THE MOVIE - The novelization of Rise of Skywalker already confirmed that Rey was working on a design for a lightsaber with a hinge before she had the vision of Dark Rey’s saber. In-universe, Dark Rey’s saber isn’t something the character canonically ever wields - we only see this thing in a nightmare/dream/Force vision. Burkert reveals interesting tidbits about both Leia’s saber and the Skywalker family saber - including the notion that Leia’s saber was inspired by Queen Amidala’s style - but the really interesting revelations are all about Dark Rey’s double-bladed, flippy weapon. ![]() Over on the official Star Wars website, a new segment from The Star Wars Show finds Lucasfilm Archivist Madlyn Burkert going deep on the details of three lightsabers from the “ending” of the Skywalker saga: Leia’s saber, the reassembled Skywalker family saber, and Dark Rey’s saber. The choices Dark Rey made to build her lightsaber occupy an interesting confluence of headcanon, fanfic, and actual, physical objects, that totally exist in the real world. The movie never offered much of an explanation for these specifics once Dark Rey was revealed as a Force vision, but a closer look at that foldable lightsaber could reveal a lot more.Īn archivist at Lucasfilm recently gave the world a closer look at Dark Rey’s weapon, and it’s pretty clear there’s an entirely different biography for Rey lurking right along the contours of this infamous saber.
