Rey Skywalker was a Force-Sensitive Human who grew up alone on the planet Jakku, hoping that one day her parents would return for her while honing her skills as a scavenger and a warrior. Her life would change forever when she met BB-8, a droid of the Resistance who carried within him a map leading to the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker, and a renegade Stormtrooper who named himself Finn. They were hunted by the First Order, forcing them to flee aboard the Millennium Falcon, eventually finding help from Han Solo and Chewbacca while traveling to the Resistance base. While on Takodana, Rey found an old Lightsaber that belonged to the Skywalker family but turned it away along with the blade being a sign of her destiny. Rey was soon captured by the dark warrior Kylo Ren, and while in captivity she discovered her own Force-Sensitivity. With her latent connection to the Force, Rey escaped Starkiller Base and defeated Kylo Ren in combat.

With the map to the lost world of Ahch-To now completed, Rey ventured to the first Jedi Temple and found Skywalker himself in exile.

After the end of the war, Rey, along with the help of Ben Skywalker, who was revealed to be the son of Luke Skywalker, assisted in strengthening the New Jedi Order. A year after the war, she became mysteriously pregnant due to Ben Solo, who used some ancient Force technique that wasn't used for thousands of years after the Jedi Order was founded. She gave birth to two twin children, naming them Jacen and Jaina Solo, who would continue the family line under the Solos. She even adopted a fellow orphan from Coruscant, naming him Anakin Solo in honor and memory to the famous Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.

Biography

Life on Jakku

Rey then grew up on Jakku, eking out a life as a scavenger and hoping that one day whoever had left her on the barren desert world would return. She learned how to survive, becoming a gifted mechanic, pilot and warrior. But she seemed destined to live out her days on a forlorn backwater world, ignorant of the larger galaxy and its perils and possibilities.

The Adventure Begins

Rey’s life changed when she encountered BB-8, a Resistance astromech carrying a star chart offering a clue to the location of the long-lost Jedi master Luke Skywalker. Rey and the renegade stormtrooper Finn forged an unlikely friendship, escaping Jakku and finding themselves caught in a galactic war – with both of their destinies shaped by the awakened power of the Force.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • The Force: Rey is very powerful, and has a seemingly unusual strong connection to the Force. However, she has received very little training and depends mostly on skills she learned before she knew she was Force-sensitive or watched someone else use.
    • Telekinesis: Rey utilizes Telekinesis either as offensive or defense.
    • Mind control: Rey utilizes Mind control, to control the minds of other sentient beings, however, it does not work on individuals who have very strong wills. It took her three tries to master her first mind control power.
    • Mind probe: Rey utilizes mind probe to sift through the thoughts of a sentient being. She was able to resisted Kylo Ren's attempt to probe her mind for the map to Luke Skywalker's location, and even turned his attack back on him to discover his own fears of inadequacy in the shadow of Darth Vader.
    • Force vision: Rey utilizes Force vision, to have visions of the past, the present and the future; however, like all force users, her visions are not always clear or sometimes has visions even when she is not utilizing this power at will.
    • Force sense: Rey utilizes Force sense, to sense another sentient being's emotions, the future, ripples in the Force caused by momentous or traumatic events, or impending danger and the presence of the dark side. She learned this when Kylo attempted to use it against her.

Abilities

  • Lightsaber Skills: Despite having no training, Rey has some skills in lightsaber combat and is a very gifted duelist. Rey was able to defeat Kylo Ren, despite the latter being far more skilled and experience in lightsaber combat then she is. However, it should be noted that Kylo had already been wounded by Chewbacca and Finn, and thus was not at the peak of his strength.
  • Skilled Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Rey has lived most of her life alone and learned unarmed/armed combat out of necessity, usually with her staff. Later, she uses these skills in a similar situation, this time with a Lightsaber.
  • Skilled Staff Fighter: Rey is skilled in staff fighting.
  • Skilled Markswoman: Rey is skilled in utilizing blaster pistols and blaster rifles.
  • Master Pilot: Rey is highly skilled in piloting various speeders and every type of flying craft.
  • Master Engineer: As a scavenger, Rey must have a good understanding of engineering and the things she collects. She has knowledge about multiple different machines and ships, which proves useful when she accidentally comes into possession of the Millennium Falcon.
  • Multilingual: Rey is capable of fluently speaking English, Shyriiwook and Binary.

Weapons and Equipment

  • Quarterstaff: Rey utilizing a quarterstaff as her weapon of choice.
  • NN-14 blaster pistol: Rey utilizing a NN-14 blaster pistol as her second weapon of choice.
  • Lightsaber: Rey was given Luke's lightsaber by him so that she may use it in her new life as a Jedi.
