Story
Rey was abandoned as a child on the desert world of Jakku, spending her life scavenging ship parts to survive while waiting for a family that would never return. Her life changed when she encountered the droid BB-8 and a defecting stormtrooper named Finn.

Throughout her journey, she sought guidance from Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, eventually learning the shocking truth of her lineage as the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine. Rejecting her dark heritage, she adopted the name Rey Skywalker, symbolizing her choice to follow the light side and rebuild the Jedi. Her story is one of self-discovery, overcoming a dark legacy, and finding a chosen family among the Resistance heroes.
