Rey's Dreams
Oct. 8th, 2016 10:16 pmSo I was watching that fan theory video about Rey being Palpatine's granddaughter, and something occurred to me. Besides the obvious 'damn it if it's true then the 'Rule of Two' series just got even MORE disturbing'...
You know the 'ocean and island' thing that Kylo finds in her head when he's digging around in there? The vid suggests that it's there because she's seen it before, before somebody dropped her on Jakku to hide her.
But that doesn't necessarily mean she's seen it before. It could mean that she's PRECOGNITIVE. Very, very precognitive...Like Palpatine, who is stated in several sources to be this (and says it himself, all the 'I have forseen it' stuff). It's also implied that strong precognition is one of those weird rare Force things - you know how Anakin's dreams about his Mom were basically dismissed by Obi-Wan? Precog is so rare that it never even crossed Obi's mind that they might be actual visions...
...Also, the 1st/2nd season of 'Heroes' pulled this with Peter's Mom - we got an eeeny hint in S1 because Peter sucked up his Mom's prophetic dream gift first. Just sayin' that introducing precog stuff subtly is a narrative tactic that's been done before.
I've already gone into her affinity for the Dark Side on this blog a few times, so consider all that, too.
HMMMMMM. WELL THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.
