Rey is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She was created by Lawrence Kasdan, J. J. Abrams, and Michael Arndt for The Force Awakens (2015), the first installment of the sequel film trilogy, and is primarily portrayed by Daisy Ridley. Rey also appears in the film's sequels, The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019), and related Star Wars media.
Rey is introduced as a scavenger who was abandoned as a child on the desert planet Jakku. She becomes an ally of the Resistance in its conflict with the First Order. Powerfully Force-sensitive, Rey trains to be a Jedi under the siblings Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. She faces adversaries such as Kylo Ren, Supreme Leader Snoke and the resurrected Sith Lord, Emperor Palpatine—who is revealed to be her grandfather in The Rise of Skywalker. Despite being enemies, Rey and Ren share a connection called a "Force dyad" and eventually join forces. Following Palpatine's defeat, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors. For her portrayal of Rey, Ridley was nominated for Best Actress at the 2016 Saturn Awards.
