'Star Wars: Episode 8' theory connects Rey and Emperor Palpatine; New behind the scenes picture released

A new “Star Wars: Episode 8” theory connects the protagonist Rey to Emperor Palpatine. Meanwhile, cast member Daisy Ridley has shared a new behind the scenes picture of her. Filming of her new movie has already wrapped and it is currently in the post production phase.

[Spoiler alert]

A new theory posted on Movie Pilot starts with the assumption that Rey (Daisy Ridley) is Luke Skywalker’s (Mark Hamill) daughter. What is more interesting is the connection of the protagonist to Emperor Palpatine.

The theory suggests that Rey’s mother could be Emperor Palpatine’s descendant. Not much is known about the events between the death of Darth Vader and Luke being found on Ahch-To. The report points out that in the non-canon book series of the franchise Luke married Mara Jade, who was known as the Hand of the Emperor.

And that is a wrap on Star Wars Episode VIII. My heart is brimming. #reyout

The theory further goes on to state that it is possible that Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) is actually Emperor Palpatine’s son. The report offers Snoke’s knowledge of the Force and knowing about the events surrounding Darth Vader as proof. “Star Wars: Episode 8” is expected to shed some more light on this mysterious character.

The report notes that Snoke has tremendous influence on Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). It suggests that the deformity of the character may be a recent development, as people around Ben Solo would have been alarmed at seeing him meet with such a deformed character.

The deformity of Snoke may be a result of his Force experiments to achieve immortality, the report suggests. It should be noted that Emperor Palpatine was also obsessed with death and immortality.

The theory suggests that the main objective of Supreme Leader Snoke in “Star Wars: Episode 8” could be to get to Rey, his last living relative. He may offer his knowledge of immortality if she takes Kylo Ren’s place by his side. His experiments may have given him the knowledge, but it may be slowly taking away his life.
