Sitting at the centre of a double-whammy of "everything you know is a lie" occurrences, poor Rey has to deal with quite a few game-changing reveals over the course of the Sequel Trilogy.

Desperately trying to figure out where she belongs in this barmy galaxy throughout Episodes VII-IX, the Force-sensitive protagonist is initially told by long-time rival/flame Kylo Ren that she wasn't the latest generation of Skywalker, Kenobi, or even his long-lost sister - Rey was actually a "nobody" whose junk dealer parents died on Jakku many years ago.

And while Ren did actually assume this was the case for a time, the real truth was actually far more depressing.

Far from being a "nobody", Rey was actually none other than Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter, with this latest world-rocking revelation once again being delivered by the former Ben Solo as the pair collided during The Rise of Skywalker.

Yet, instead of letting her grandPalps' legacy define her, Rey chooses to fully embrace the Jedi way and eventually conquer the revived Emperor en-route to dropping that last name in favour of her former Masters' moniker.
