I’m slowly becoming more and more convinced by the “Rey is Obi-Wan’s granddaughter” theory and it’s actually very disappointing that there’s a 95% chance she’s Luke’s daughter because narratively and thematically Rey Kenobi would be infinitely more interesting
#imagine: rey and ben reenacting the battle of their grandfathers while one of them is named in honor of the other’s ancestor #a Kenobi succeeding in dragging a fallen Skywalker back to the light #where her grandfather had failed #a Kenobi #pure and faithful and undeniably *good* #the poetry of a Kenobi being in all nine films #and saving the Skywalker clan in all nine of them #rey being called to Anakin’s lightsaber because Obi-Wan was Anakin’s brother in all but blood #and he carried it around with him for twenty years #Rey giving Luke back his father’s lightsaber #in an homage to her grandfather giving it to him for the first time #rey’s first successful (on-screen) attempt at using the force being a mind trick #rey potentially wielding a double-bladed lightsaber and being the first on-screen Light Sider to do so #callbacks to her grandfather fighting Darth Maul #a Skywalker training a Kenobi and bringing us full circle #oh I’ve got feels and it’s probably not even true
Ooh ok I want it, I want it
