The Rise of Skywalker novelization | by Rae Carson
SOBS, I NEED AN ENTIRE NOVEL OF LUKE AND LEIA AS SIBLINGS.
I APPRECIATE THAT THE MOVIES AND NOVELS GAVE US SOME INTERACTION
BUT LIKE I NEED AN ENTIRE NOVEL ABOUT LUKE AND LEIA INTERACTING ONCE THEY KNOW THEY’RE SIBLINGS.
It was obnoxious and completely unhelpful. So Leia reminded him, “You’re being obnoxious and completely unhelpful.” “I also did it one-handed,” he added.
PEAK SIBLINGS WHILE ALSO DOING IT TO HELP TEACH ABOUT ANGER AND IMPATIENCE, I’M WEEPING AT HOW PERFECT THEY ARE.
“Then he had smiled, with that wide farm-boy grin that had stayed with him all the way up until the night of Ben’s betrayal.“

Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) do incredible visual effects work on Star Wars and other franchises, and that was certainly the case in The Rise of Skywalker.
Recently, ILM released a video detailing some of their work on the film, and it’s a fascinating look at the process. We get a chance to see a number of different iterations of certain scenes, and one of the more incredible parts of the process is how General Leia Organa was brought to life in the film.
Check out the video:
One of the coolest things, though, was the chance to see how that beautiful flashback sequence was made. In the film, Luke Skywalker tells Rey about how he trained Leia Organa in the ways of the Force. We get to see the two of them training at night on Ajan Kloss – Luke with his green lightsaber and Leia with her…
So – is there any point warning for Star Wars spoilers anymore? – at the end of Rise of Skywalker, this kiss happens.
(gif from here. I guess there’s a camrip of the movie already?)
I’m not a Reylo shipper, but it was effective, I guess. Adam Driver’s acting in that scene was stellar, which made it mostly worth it overall. Except. EXCEPT…
Rey and Ben are related! (Probably.)
So in a canonical Star Wars comic from last year, this scene happens,
which seems to confirm the Palpatine = technically Anakin’s father theory that’s been in the air ever since Revenge of the Sith came out. Okay cool! But Palpatine is also Rey’s grandfather, and Anakin is Ben’s…
See? You see what I mean?!
Why’s the question mark there? Well, because some of the Star Wars story people (holy heck, that’s a job? Sweet) have come out and said Palpatine is absolutely not Anakin’s father and all that stuff in the comic was a vision or a metaphor etc etc etc, but… it’s Star Wars. There’s pretty much no strict canon at all anymore, so heck, let’s assume that purely based on Palpatine’s Revenge of the Sith speech and the fact that he keeps calling Anakin “son” that he’s his, uh, I guess “Force Dad.”
So what does this make Rey and Ben? I have no idea, but let’s just say they’re closely enough related that they probably shouldn’t be kissing. (And that’s even without getting into the weirdness of Ben’s parents constantly serving as surrogate parents to Rey.)
