Poor planning on the season's story made it unpredictable in the worst way, as plots were remembered and forgotten seemingly out of nowhere.Īmong speculations, some of us theorized that the show could lead to a clash between Bo-Katan and Din Djarin over the Darksaber, or even between her and the Armorer ( Emily Swallow) for control of Mandalore. There were many complaints about how the series' plot started focusing too much on her, to the point that it started to feel like she was the main character instead of Din Djarin ( Pedro Pascal/ Brendan Wayne/ Lateef Crowder). Abrams and co. finally decided on the Palpatine connection, is a testament to the respective power of each possible outcome - even if the handling of the storyline itself may have left something to be desired among Star Wars fans.Season 3 of The Mandalorian is finally done and, while the consensus is that it could've been better, it did get some things right, especially regarding Bo-Katan Kryze's ( Katee Sackhoff) character arc. But the fact that all of those options were considered and toyed around with before J.J. Although, there have been other fans who have argued Rey being Obi-Wan's granddaughter would have been equally confusing to viewers who had not seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars.ĭespite the sequel trilogy concluding last year, and thus bringing Rey's role in the Star Wars story to an end at the same time, the decisions surrounding her parentage will no doubt remain a constant topic of debate in the Star Wars community. After all, while there are many fans who hoped, like Graves, that the character had been Obi-Wan's granddaughter, there are other Star Wars fans who were happy with Rey's Palpatine heritage, and others who wish The Last Jedi's assertion that Rey was a nobody had stayed true through The Rise of Skywalker. ![]() Many of those same fans have since argued that Rey being a Kenobi would have been a better creative choice, as it might have required less explanation than The Rise of Skywalker's Palpatine reveal. In fact, many of the fans who theorized Rey was secretly related to the Obi-Wan character prior to the Palpatine reveal in Rise of Skywalker, pointed to the romantic relationship between Obi-Wan and Satine in Clone Wars as a way of explaining Rey's possible connection to the legendary Jedi. Graves isn't the only Star Wars fan who has admitted to wishing Rey had been a Kenobi instead of a Palpatine. The actress admitted that she always hoped Satine and Obi-Wan - who had a strong relationship in Clone Wars - had secretly had a child together, which would have opened up the possibility for Rey to be a Kenobi years later. ![]() Anna Graves, who voiced Duchess Satine Kryze in The Clone Wars, revealed on Twitter this week that she also would have loved for Rey to be Obi-Wan's granddaughter. Now, a Star Wars: The Clone Wars voice actress has added her own opinion to the discussion surrounding Rey's lineage. Related: Rey Being Obi-Wan’s Granddaughter Is Just As Dumb As Being Palpatine's The storyline has only become even more criticized and hotly debated by Star Wars fans this week too, following the news that Rey was related to Obi-Wan, at one point during the making of the sequel trilogy. The decision, much like Rian Johnson's attempt to make her a "nobody" in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, proved to be divisive in the Star Wars fan community, as many were let down by The Rise of Skywalker's handling of Rey's lineage. Instead, it was revealed in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that Rey was actually the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, not Obi-Wan. However, the Rey Kenobi theories ended up being incorrect.
