'Star Wars: Episode 8': Plot and scene description leak online; Rey's back story and parents revealed
A scene from “Star Wars: Episode 8” and details about the plot have reportedly leaked online. The story will reveal details about Rey’s parents and her back story and the movie will also reveal her connection to the Skywalker family.
[Spoiler alert]
A scene description from the forthcoming movie reveals an interaction between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Rey (Daisy Ridley), Comic Book Movie reports. Rey believes that Luke is her father because he was the one who left her at Jakku when she was young. The Jedi master, however, says that she is her father.
The director Rian Johnson is apparently planning to show that the Chosen One is reincarnated every time the galaxy is in trouble. So, Rey is the reincarnation of Luke’s father Anakin and was born to a virgin mother, because of the Force.
Luke is reluctant to teach Rey the ways of the Force because the chaotic power running through the Chosen One makes it difficult for him/her to stay on the light side of the Force. And if Rey turns to the dark side she may cause much more damage to the galaxy than Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). She may be filled with anger after she learns that her mum was killed in an attack.
However, Luke does train Rey in the ways of the Force in “Star Wars: Episode 8.” He takes this decision after consulting the Force ghosts of Obi-Wan (Ewan MacGregor) and Yoda (Frank Oz). Luke allows the Force to determine the future of Rey.
A rumour had suggested that the name of the movie will be “Tale of the Jedi Temple.” The new report reveals that Luke will travel to the first Jedi temple to better understand the Chosen One from Jedi history.
Hayden Christensen apparently reprises his role as Anakin Skywalker. Rey sees Anakin as a Force ghost or in a dream in the movie and Anakin tells Rey that she is him, but different. There is also said to be a scene showing hundreds of past Chosen Ones as Force ghosts.
The report also reveals that Kylo Ren and some of the other students of Luke were seduced towards the dark side of the Force by Snoke (Andy Serkis). Kylo’s training is expected continue under Snoke in “Star Wars: Episode 8.”
