OneStar war : The Rise of Skywalkerdecision proved to be extremely controversial , but it was really the complete way to honorAnakin Skywalker . The lift of Skywalkerremains a hot topic amongStar Warsmovies and TV shows , but often not in a expert way . In fact , the sequels are still largely considered some ofStar Wars’worst movies , and whileStar warfare : The Force AwakensandStar Wars : The Last Jedieach had their own emcee of ill and backlash , The Rise of Skywalkeris easily the most criticise .

Admittedly , there wereissues with the continuation trilogy motion picture , and many of them did come about inThe Rise of Skywalkerin particular . One of the most surprising letdown was the reveal that , rather than Kylo Ren or another original scoundrel being the ' expectant bad ' of the pic , The Rise of Skywalkerbrought back Palpatine with little to no explanation . However , while some grievances about theStar Warssequel trilogy may reverberate reliable , one popular ailment in particular misses what monolithic payback this plot of land point provide Anakin Skywalker .

The Star Wars sequel trilogy has take in considerable criticism for its plot holes , and these 10 are the sequel ' most meaning plot of ground hole of all .

Rey Wiped Out Palpatine’s Legacy

The upgrade of Skywalkershockingly ( and controversially ) revealed not only that Palpatine had returned but also that Rey was a descendent of the former Emperor himself . However , this was far from the biggestRise of Skywalkercontroversy about Rey . Rather , audiences were much more discommode by Rey ’s decision to adopt the last name Skywalker than they were by the Revelation of Saint John the Divine that she had Palpatine blood .

In part , audiences felt this was unearned in the film , which was a somewhat reasonable vexation . Clearly , Rey had grown considerably close to Leia Organa , but that happened mostly off - cover in betweenThe Last JediandThe Rise of Skywalker . The case could be made that , because Luke was her mentor , she felt she had become part ofthe Skywalker family tree , but even that was n’t quite fleshed out enough on - screen .

By choosing the last name Skywalker , Rey was pass over out Palpatine ’s bequest .

Nevertheless , complaints about thisStar Warsmove tend to miss one major aspect of Rey ’s decision . By choosing the last name Skywalker , Rey was wiping out Palpatine ’s legacy . presumptively , Rey had been the very last of the Palpatine parentage . Rey ’s father , Dathan , was a rogue Palpatine clone who went off and root down to have a family , which does n’t seem likely to have been repeated by any other clones . Assuming Palpatine had no biological tyke , which seems a safe presumption , Rey was the last of the line .

Thus , with Rey rejecting the Palpatine name and identity , Palpatine ’s line ended inThe Rise of Skywalker . There would be no one to carry on his name , and his bequest , therefore , die with him . In fact , this almost prepare Palpatine ’s urgency to have Rey take the Sith throne make sentience , as she would have at least carried on his name and continued the Palpatine prescript .

Palpatine’s Legacy Was Directly Replaced By Anakin’s

Rey took her rejection of the Palpatine name one pace further , though , by replace Palpatine ’s surname with Anakin Skywalker ’s own . In this sense , wonderfully , Rey not only wiped out Palpatine ’s bequest but also like a shot replaced it with Anakin ’s . In fact , this was even more illustrious because Anakin ’s bloodline had ended with Ben Solo inThe Rise of Skywalker’sending . Had Rey not adopted the last name Skywalker , then , like Palpatine ’s ultimately did , Anakin ’s filiation would have ceased to be .

Yes , this alternative also meant that Luke Skywalker ’s name and legacy carry on , too , and that was no doubt what Rey had in psyche . After all , it ’s unclear how much Rey really have it away about Anakin , although she seemed quite familiar with his account as Darth Vader . Yet , this lineage is inextricably bind to Anakin and all that his history holds , and , because of Rey , that line will carry on . What that will look like or mean for Rey stay to be experience , but that is something that her upcomingStar Warsmovie seems primed to search .

Rey ’s Star Wars return is happening in Star Wars : New Jedi Order . Here ’s what is sleep together about the story , cast , and waiver of Daisy Ridley ’s film .

This Choice Is The Best Way To Honor Anakin

What make this second particularly meaningful is thatPalpatine had slip so much from Anakin and the Skywalker family specifically . Yes , Anakin was already on a distressful course because he married Padmé , straight off defying the Jedi Order ’s rule . However , it was Palpatine who fully control Anakin to the dark side , which ultimately led to Padmé ’s death , the twin ' separation , and the intact Skywalker family being severalize for nearly two decades .

By deciding to be a Skywalker and not a Palpatine , Rey gave the Skywalkers the last say in this ten - recollective conflict between this family and Palpatine .

By decide to be a Skywalker and not a Palpatine , Rey pass the Skywalkers the last say in the decade - long battle between this household and Palpatine . She kept the Skywalkers alive , even in light of all Palpatine had done to demolish them . ThisStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerdecision may have been controversial , but in truth , this variety carried so much signification , and it was the perfect way to honorAnakin Skywalker .
