For example , despite featuring some very strong female characters , the first two Star Wars trilogy featured male protagonists . However , fast - forward to 2015 and Star Wars finally gifted fans with a female protagonist , create a raw office model for children everywhere . Rey is a glorious character who register that even heroes are contravene at time , and she also has some not bad lines to be remembered by .

“I know all about waiting.”

We ’re first introduced to Rey in the hatchway minutes ofThe Force Awakens . We get to see her as a scrappy , resourceful magpie on Jakku , but we ’re also given penetration into her casual individual life , include her save track of the days since she was abandoned in the desert wasteland .

When she tells BB-8 that she knows all about what it think of to wait for something , and for her family , the celluloid sets up not only a central mystery of her character but also the foundational solitaire and optimism that ca-ca up so much of her character ’s journeying .

“Stop taking my hand!”

As patient and as bright as Rey may be , she ’s also not afraid to talk her mind and localise her limits , as evidenced by her repeated protestation when Finn assert on taking her manus as they track down from the First Order on Jakku . Rey is fierce and independent , and she does n’t play when it comes to anyone compromising her agency in the slightest .

This sets up Rey as our strong and resourceful heroine in an entirely new means , beyond the scavenging skills that were found by her introductory collage . Rey is secure to tell anyone what she wants , and what she does not .

“The garbage will do!”

As Rey , Finn and BB-8 seek to escape Jakku when it come under fire from the First Order , they aim to make it to a ship so that they can take flight into space . Finn ask Rey , " What about this ship ? " and the screen pan so that viewers can see the Millennium Falcon . Rey rejoin with " That ship is garbage ! " and they begin running to another ship that is promptly destroy in front of their eyes .

In despair , Rey declares " The garbage will do ! " and the character run towards the iconic spaceship . This scene made everyStar Warsfan chuckle when they first saw it , especially as Rey has no idea just how legendary that " garbage " is when she first pilots it .

“I didn’t know there was this much green in the whole galaxy.”

Rey may have drop much of her sprightliness in the barren comeupance of the planet Jakku , but it ’s when she arrive on the profuse green world of Takodana that she truly come to life in a way she never has before . When she first sets visual sense on the beautiful major planet ’s unstinting verdure , Rey is overcome with emotion , with disbelief , and with awe .

Rey may have intercourse a lot about the world , given the life she ’s conduct for her entire adolescence . But she ’s still lead an improbably sheltered , solitary existence on Jakku . It ’s this first exposure to a world beyond the dune of George Sand that sincerely exemplifies the beginning of her journey into a whole new world .

“You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.”

When Rey is captured by the First Order , she decide to try out the Jedi judgment trick that she ’s heard so much about . She speak to the nearby stormtrooper , telling him , " You will remove these restraints and leave this cellphone with the door open . " The guard responds with , " What did you say ? " and Rey repeats herself .

The Stormtrooper moves closer and for a split moment , Rey and viewer likewise believe she has already mastered the force . That is until the stormtrooper read , " I will stiffen these restraint , magpie scum ! " It was an unforeseen moment that had fans chuckling aside . You ca n’t blame a missy for trying , and she does get there in the end .

“I need someone to show me my place in all of this.”

InThe Last Jedi , Rey ’s report consists of her attempt to learn , not only the ways of the Force but also to memorize about herself and her own identity and place in the world . She finds unlikely teachers in her journey , include the reclusive and often unhelpful old Luke Skywalker , and the far more surprising and likeable Kylo Ren .

Both of these man , in improver to her own internal direct part , help her in her pursuit to understand just what her place in the entire reality of the coltsfoot far far away is . But little does she get it on , the resolution is far more clunky than she could ever have anticipated .

“I’ve seen your daily routine. You are not busy!”

When Rey first run across Luke Skywalker , he refuses to condition her despite her explaining that she ask someone to show her the fashion of the forcefulness . Undeterred , Rey follows Luke around as he goes about his common daily lifespan on the secluded island .

finally , when she asks him again and he decline once more , she respond with the spunky quip , " I ’ve come across your day-to-day procedure . You are not busy ! " She ’s not wrong either . Unsurprisingly , Luke does eventually agree to educate her .

“Something inside me has always been there. But now it’s awake. And I’m afraid. I don’t know what it is or what to do with it. And I need help.”

Though Rey showed the svelte sign of darkness inThe Force Awakens , peculiarly in her moments of scrap and ire , The Last Jeditruly doubles down on the approximation of internal dark and veneration , including multiple montages of Rey literally exploring dark erectile spaces and underwater profundity .

These exploration and excavations , of row , simply muse her own home dark and her quest to sympathize just what it is that has always been inside of her - whether that is the Force or something else entirely .

“Do you have something — a towel, or something — you can put on?”

One of the focus of the picture show is the mental James Bond connection that forms betweenKylo Renand Rey . Though their relationship originate with them hate one another , in spite of all that Kylo Ren has done , the connection humanizes him in Rey ’s eyes as she begins to see more of the man behind the masquerade , quite literally in some case too .

In a vista inThe Last Jedi , Rey find herself grimace - to - typeface with a half - dressed Kylo Ren . In a rather humorous moment , she asks him " Do you have something — a towel , or something — you’re able to put on ? "

“You underestimate Skywalker and Ben Solo and me. It will be your downfall.”

Rey ’s promise cover to shine burnished even in the darkest of moments , and even in moments when she get herself confronted with her most fearsome foe yet . paired Supreme Leader Snoke , Rey ’s courage , faith , and hope are some of her most powerful weapons . She refuses to compromise and agitate despite the very real threats of torture and more that he poses .

Further , she turn away to give up on her new unbelievable ally , both Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren , no matter their respective failings at this dot in time . Rey knows that she is n’t alone any longer , and cognise that Snoke is foolish to think that they can be flap so well .
