14. Rey
It took me a while to decide if I really wanted to put Rey above Kylo Ren on this list and after some thought, Iâve decided to do so. Rey is scrappy due to the nature of her roots, which is to say that she doesnât know them. Her parents left when she was young, never to return. Sheâs had to fend for herself for so long and she picked up skills that most kids donât necessarily need to have as they grew up.
Before she even holds a lightsaber in The Force Awakens, she has the skills that she learned as a scavenger on Jakku. She didnât have the best circumstances to work with, but she made the most of it. When she ran into BB-8, she had to fend off a nightwatcher worm, bandits and eventually the First Order.
By the time she picks up a lightsaber, sheâs already had experience using her staff. While a lightsaber is different, she at least already had a fighting style nailed down. She goes up against Kylo Ren later in The Force Awakens and is able to defeat him because his anger causes him to lose control.
Now that Rey has trained with Luke, Iâm fully expecting her to improve even more in The Rise of Skywalker. Kylo Ren hasnât been able to convince her to come over to the dark side, but maybe sheâll convince him to join the Resistance and the two will see their potential through together.
