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.

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: as a Force-sensitive Rey had a connection to 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. Rey's strength equals Ben's
    • Telekinesis: Rey utilizes Telekinesis either as offensive or defense and manipulate physical matter in a variety of ways with her mind.
      • Force Pull: Rey utilizes Force pull to draw close a material body.
      • Force Push: Rey utilizes Force push to push objects, people, and other dangerous creatures farther away from her.
    • Telepathy: Rey utilizes Telepathy to read minds or mentally communicate and project the user's thoughts over small or vast distances with other individuals and feels the emotions of others.
      • Mind Control (Mind Trick): 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.
    • Force Jump: Rey utilizes Force Jump to leaping across great distances, which she would use to avoid Ren's fighter and to avoid a tidal wave when fighting Ren for the last time.

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 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.
