We rank the 50 best Star Wars characters of all-time
By Josh Hill
36. Rey
Major Appearances
- Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Best Moment
Rey defeated Kylo Ren in a lightsaber and Force duel at the end of The Force Awakens.
Worst Moment
Rey, desiring to be reunited with a family she doesn’t remember, almost returned to Jakku and the oppressive labor imposed by Unkar Plutt.
Breakdown
With no training in the ways of the Force or with a lightsaber, Rey was able to defeat a trained acolyte of the Dark Side, in Kylo Ren. Rey’s inexplicable mastery in piloting the Millennium Falcon, as well as her ability to repair the ship in flight, certainly lends credence to the theory she is, in fact, a Skywalker. That remains to be seen, for now.
Next: 35. Prince Xizor
