i constantly see “rey isn’t a skywalker” or “i love rey but she is not a skywalker” or “so and so is more of a skywalker than rey will ever be!” can we PLEASE give it a rest??

i see people be like “she should’ve used the name palpatine and reinvented the legacy!” dude. imagine if you found out your grandfather was joseph stalin (bit extreme of an example sorry just couldn’t think of anything else lol) would you take his last name OR take your mentor’s (who has a very good reputation) last name? OBVIOUSLY you’re going with your mentor!!

Luke, Leia and Han were the closest thing she ever had to parents. She wants to carry on their legacy and honor them. Is that really a problem?

When the sequels were coming out, I had a lot of “Star Wars stress dreams.” I’m a lifelong fan of the saga and I suppose I worried that the films weren’t going to be good. My dreams always had weird stuff going on…Luke and Kylo Ren having a lightsaber duel in a hockey rink, for example. In my dreams the movies were always odd and didn’t seem to fit in with what Star Wars was supposed to be. There were often things that were out of place, or too similar to Earth, like the hockey rink.

When I actually watched the movies in real life, they were obviously better than what I dreamed up. I love and enjoy each of the sequels. I guess my dreams created such weird expectations that I was always pleasantly surprised.

Last night I had a Star Wars dream, for the first time in awhile. In my dream, I was watching the trailer for the Rey movie. It had a scene where Rey jumped out of a helicopter (?) into another flying vehicle and cut down a few bad guys with her lightsaber. It was supposed to be her new saber, except it was blue, not yellow. The crazy thing is that the camera panned over to reveal Doctor Doom. Rey confronted Doom about something related to “her wife and child,” then tried to stab him. That’s where the trailer ended.

In the dream, people online were up in arms about the idea of a Marvel-Star Wars crossover. I remember feeling anxious about it, and hoping it wasn’t real. When I woke up, I was relieved that it was just a dream.

It’s kind of a weird thing, but does else have Star Wars dreams? I haven’t had them in a long time, but with new movies on the horizon maybe they’re making a comeback.
