Rey has become my favorite character for many reasons, and I will do my best to explain them all here... First off, I will say the biggest reason, was the whole "Rey Skywalker" scene; it just spoke to me, in the sense that she found a new
life, a new beginning under a new identity; she was "born again" in a sense... Even if she didn& #39;t deserve it in some people& #39;s eyes, makes it even more beautiful for me...
Rey& #39;s whole journey from the beginning was finding her identity and place in the universe, from, Rey "Nobody" when we first meet her watching people come & go, living their lives while she& #39;s stuck in a daily routine on Jakku; to Rey Palpatine, who is very conflicted,
but still has a good heart, but struggles very much with the Dark Side; to Rey Skywalker, when she finally found where she belonged and that "somethings are stronger than blood."
Rey is also very insecure & vulnerable, which is very relatable for me... I& #39;m very insecure about my appearance and some other things I& #39;m not comfortable sharing... Rey is constantly looking for acceptance, and someone else to save the galaxy, because she doesn& #39;t think she is
capable of doing so "I& #39;m no one" & she& #39;s very afraid of failing/disappointing her friends/mentors, which speaks to me, as I have the same fear... Probably, my biggest fear...
Which, brings me to my next reason, she is a no one from nowhere... Yes, she& #39;s the granddaughter of Palpatine, but as Kylo said, "They were nobody, because they chose to be." She& #39;s an unlikely hero, "just a scavenger" from a backwater planet...
Now, let& #39;s get this straight, Rey is NOT a Mary Sue, does she have some writing issues, sure; but she& #39;s far from a Mary Sue!! Rey fails time-and-time again, only to be saved by The Force... TFA, she was getting butt kicked until The Force called to her and she was able to focus.
In TRoS, again she was getting absolutely snockered by Kylo until Leia through The Force intervened and only then did she gain the upper hand; and while we& #39;re on this fight, let& #39;s talk about her caring & selfless heart, as soon as she stabbed Kylo and sensed Leia& #39;s death she knew
she messed up, and so she selflessly gave some of her life-force to Kylo... Lastly, also in TRoS, she got obliterated by Palpatine, and Palpatine only got killed because The Force came to Rey, used her body as a vessel (very spiritual connection), and "All the Jedi" defeated
"All the Sith"; after, rejecting Palpatine& #39;s offer to join him, basically rejecting Satan himself...
Rey & I are alike in the sense that we both want/try to see the good in people... This is evident with Kylo... She does call him a monster once or twice, but once they start having Force Bonds due to the dyad, and she gets to know his story a little more, she empathizes with him,
and begs him to join her and leave the Dark Side, she can "see the conflict". She sees the good in Kylo, when Kylo is doing his best to snuff it out...
This pretty much goes along with her insecurity, but Rey also has a strong faith in The Force, but very little faith in herself... I am much the same way, I know that "Through Christ all things are possible", but yet, I don& #39;t have much faith in myself.
A small detail that I appreciated & related to in TRoS, is that we see that she had not only been training with Leia, but she learned a few tricks on her own, by reading some Sacred Jedi Texts, as a Christian, this really resonated with me, as we learn from reading the Bible;
also Sacred Texts...
Last but certainly not least, Rey gives me hope... Hope that we can rise above our past and make a bright new future for ourselves...
