Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - 26 WTF Moments

15. Rey Vs. Dark Rey

When Rey heads to the ocean moon Kef Bir and enters the remnants of the Death Star, she activates the Wayfinder and ends up facing off against a Dark Side vision, in what's basically a mediocre reprise of The Empire Strikes Back's brilliant Dark Side cave scene.

As most fans expected, the visage of Rey dressed in Sith garb and wielding a double-bladed red lightsaber was nothing more than a vision, but one which nevertheless ends up doing brief battle with the actual Rey.

Dark Rey tries to tempt Rey to join the Dark Side and unlock the full extent of her powers, easily dominating Rey in a short lightsaber fight before Kylo Ren interrupts.

This rushed, peculiar scene lacked the menace and atmosphere of the Empire equivalent, sadly.
