There is no doubt that Rei is the most powerful adept of the power that ever appeared on the screen. Even without special training, she managed to defeat Kaylo Rena in a duel on light swords in "Star Wars: Awakening of Power." To "Skywalker. The sunrise "her skills just improved due to the uzam strength that bind her with Kylo Renom himself. Apparently, she conducted his last year of study under the start of various Jedi masters, who are her in the form of ghosts of strength.
However, at the moment, the most interesting experience of the Ray in connection with the force also happened in the first part of the newest trilogy. When Rei found Lyuka Skywalker's light sword and touched his handle, she was visited by a number of visions in which she opened key moments in the history of the Galaxy. So powerful and emotionally rich experience stunned poor Ray, leaving her in confusion. It may seem that these visions are the will of the power itself, which arose for incomprehensible reasons and is not carrying special practical significance. However, in fact, this phenomenon, to whom Lucasfilm gave the name Forceback ("Return of Power"), may be a rare congenital ability, which Rey inherited from power. It is likely that it is the "return of power" will be the key to the junction of "Star Wars: Skywalker. Sunrise".
What is the secret ability to ray?
"Star Wars" - Something more than just Frankranshiza, because this Saga has grown into a transmened phenomenon, in addition to movies including novels, video games, television series and comics. Moreover, Lucasfilm purposefully intertwines all these elements among themselves. In this regard, it is interesting that in the video game "Jedi: Fallen Order", and in the teenage novel Kevin sinya "Collector of Power" appears the ability called "Psychometry", which is very similar to those visions that Rey. This is a congenital skill inherent in only adept forces. It allows the user to force through contact with the material item to "read" his past. The first such experiments are exhausting, sometimes they cause seizures and loss of consciousness. It is possible to master psychometrics only by subordinating yourself to visions, completely given to these experiences.
Let the "Return of Power" occur somewhat differently, but the relationship here is clearly traced, because psychometric visions at Rei are spontaneously after contact with a certain artifact. In the context of the narration, this phenomenon makes sense exactly as conjugate with the power of innate ability, and not as a certain inexplicable will of force. Logical then seems to be the fact that the Dar Rey manifested itself with contact with the laser sword - the subject that is marked by the stamp of the force, because in the past it belonged to the favorites. In addition, the sword includes interacting with cyber crystal power.
In the ninth episode, Rei will be vulnerable to the dark side
Psychometry is a rare phenomenon, but the Jedi has long thought that it is a rather dangerous ability. In their opinion, with such a skill, Jedi more than others risks to succumb to the dark side, since psychometry opens direct access to the emotions of extraneous personalities, including enemies. For example, if the Jedi touches the murder tool, he will simultaneously feel the fear of the victim, and the hate of the killer. Since the only way to master psychometria is soon to surrender, the Jedi cannot dissociate from those emotions that cover it at such moments.
If Ray really has psychometria, it means that in the upcoming film it will be subject to special danger. As follows from trailers to Skywalker. Sunrise ", Rei will have another fight with Kylo Renom - this time among the wreckage of the second star of death. Subsequently, the heroes will be on the ruins of the Emperor's Throne Hall - this place is saturated with a dark side of the force and can still contain some of the relics of Sitchov. It is not difficult to imagine that Rey will have to endure the memories of Darth Vader and Palpatine or to experience the despair and hopelessness of Skywalker's manhole at the moment when the emperor tried to lure him on the dark side in the "Jedi Return". And although Ray proved that she is able to respond with such temptations if it will be impossible for much more powerful exposure?
How psychometry will help defeat Palpatine
However, even despite all the risks, the unique gift Rey may become its advantage in the fight against the adepts of the dark side of force. It is important to note that even the all-seeing and omniscient Emperor Palpatin hardly knows that Rey has this ability. In essence, Rei has access to the knowledge and information that Palpatine under the blow. Touching on the right subject, Rei can see the past, which will allow her to reveal the plans of Palpatine or even learn how to resurrect the emperor. It is also possible that initially the emperor did not want to extradite himself, but in the end he was exposed to Ray thanks to the visions discovered.
Anyway, from the point of view of psychometry narrative - or some adjacent skill is a very useful tool. The introduction of this element allows you to directly show how the emperor managed to return from non-existence, as well as what cunning plans it hits. How did Palpatina come to survive after falling into the mine's stars of the main reactor? What did he deal with all those decades, what passed since his imaginary death? Thanks to the psychometric abilities of Ray in Skywalker. Sunrise "Spectators can get answers to all burning questions not from the classical monologue performed by the villain, but in a more sophisticated form. If the creators of the film really elected such an approach, he probably justifies itself.
