LucasfilmĪssuming the Emperor never died to begin with, then he probably spent the following three decades struggling to preserve his dwindling life force while also trying to find or create a powerful new apprentice. How did that lightsaber get from Cloud City to Maz Kanata's castle? 'The Rise of Skywalker' needs to explain this. Some previous theories wonder if Rey was created in one of Palpatine’s labs on Jakku and was later found by junk traders who abandoned her. Those filthy, alcoholic junk traders that abandoned her may have just been her foster parents. Either the Force is showing her what she needs to see on some spiritual level or this is a more obvious truth that she has no parents in the traditional sense. When Rey asks the Force to reveal her parents during The Last Jedi, all she sees is a reflection of herself. Stories just like this one were frequent in the non-canon Expanded Universe, so seeing one emerge in Episode IX wouldn’t be all that surprising. She’d be somewhere between Luke’s clone and his daughter, which would explain why she has such an immediately close relationship with Han Solo and Leia Organa - and perhaps why her relationship to Luke feels so contentious in The Last Jedi. One way that The Rise of Skywalker could neatly wrap up the story of Luke’s lightsaber while also explaining Rey’s lineage without retconning The Last Jedi’s revelation of her being a “nobody” is by showing that Luke’s severed hand was used to create Rey.
(Side bar: Maz’s renewed important in a story just like this during Rise of Skywalker would explain why she was shoe-horned into The Last Jedi.) She called it a story for “another time” when asked about all this in The Force Awakens. These planets are incredibly far apart, so the obvious explanation is that someone found the lightsaber - and probably the hand too - and both circulated through the black market before a Force-sensitive Maz Kanata claimed the weapon. If there’s one lingering plot hole created by the new trilogy that needs an explanation by the end, it’s how Luke’s lightsaber fell down the shaft at Cloud City on Bespin and somehow wound up in Maz Kanata’s castle on Takodana. What if The Rise of Skywalker opens on this very scene because the implications of how Maz Kanata wound up with the lightsaber and what happened to Luke Skywalker’s will have a hugely significant impact on the film? Most Star Wars movies begin in outer space, so wouldn’t this be a rad way to kick off the final Skywalker film? Abrams cut such a scene from the final version of the film, maybe it’s because Abrams and/or Lucasfilm decided to preserve the mystery and use this sequence in Episode IX instead? If you’ve ever wondered why director J.J. The final film obviously wound up being quite different, but elements might remain in the upcoming Rise of Skywalker. Several iterations of this tale have been discussed in the past, including one version told by Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill, that the hand would burn up in the atmosphere of Jakku and Rey would discover the lightsaber in the sand. Long, long ago in a galaxy that is actually our galaxy, rumors began circulating in the summer of 2014 that the basic premise of Star Wars: Episode VII - which didn’t even have its The Force Awakens title at the time - involved the film opening on Luke Skywalker’s severed hand floating through space gripping the blue lightsaber.
