Talk:Rey (Star Wars)/Archive 2

Requested move 18 December 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Page already moved back to "Rey (Star Wars)" and move-protected for a while. In itself this is not a proper RM as it was never listed correctly to WP:RM. However, as many people have taken their time to comment, there seems to be a consensus to not move the page from "Rey (Star Wars)". If anyone considers that Rey Skywalker or Rey Palpatine are suitable names for Rey, consider reopening the RM (following the RM instructions). © Tbhotch^™ (en-3). 22:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Rey Palpatine (Star Wars) Rey (Star Wars) – Per this diff; to quote MeghanHouk, "As the movie has not yet come out, we do not have reliable evidence that Rey is a Skywalker. The source indicated was an article that claims to include spoilers, but until tomorrow it is not verifiable." ωικιωαrrιorᑫᑫ1ᑫ 17:52, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Having seen the movie, this page should be renamed. Rey adopts the name "Skywalker" at the end of the movie, but her name is not actually "Rey Skywalker."  GrendelNightmares  (talk) 18:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree it. This context of story will told: Luke is father of Rey. That's why is title "rise of skywalker". A big hole of story of Luke after VI. it has asked: Rey, which next name? Rey have said: Skywalker..it has answer on all question at end of film. Edwtie (talk) 19:29, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Per WP:Common name and WP:Requested moves#Undiscussed moves, the article should be moved back. WP:Status quo applies in this case. Pinging BD2412. Thanks for the spoiler, by the way. Sighs. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 19:45, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

This is Wikipedia. We're literally discussing editing a page based on spoilers. Your fault for not being prepared for them.  GrendelNightmares  (talk)

• Moved back pending outcome of discussion, per WP:RM. I have also move-protected the page. BD2412 T 23:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Support "Rey (Star Wars)" or "Rey Skywalker" - There is absolutely no reason to disambiguate it with "(Star Wars)" after the name Rey Skywalker. So, we should either keep it the way it has always been, or go with her full name. But, adding the parentheses is ridiculous and seems to have been a rushed decisions.

• I'd just listed this at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requests to revert undiscussed moves since BD2412 hadn't responded, but he just now moved the article back. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Either way, the discussion is needed. BD2412 T 23:17, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

It is. Thanks, BD2412. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:18, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

• Ye gad! post move as I was typing and (edit conflict).
• Comment My brother and I are probably the last people on this planet who don't know her story. SO if readers/viewers know she is a Skywalker, or if that's her name, or if this is how we know her, the title should be Rey Skywalker. I see no need to add the "Star Wars" discriminator if she is the only person of this name with an article. And even if there were more than one, I would submit that she is the best known and that further clarification in the title(s) should go on those who are lesser known.-- Deepfriedokra 23:19, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
• Spoilers ahead. She's Rey Palpatine, but later adopts Skywalker as her new surname. But spoiling either in the title of the article is a bridge too far for me in terms of spoilers. It's a nasty kind of spoiling, because people can't defend themselves against it. It would even show up in Google searches. Furthermore, she is both Palpatine and Skywalker at part of episode IX. Choosing either would lead to complex discussions between fans, which are better avoided. During 2/3 of the movies she is just Rey. More than 2/3, since she discovers her family only during the third of her films. So any last name is a plot detail, rather than how we know her during most of the films. And thus doesn't belong in the title. Not even in the lead as far as I'm concerned. As a bonus we don't spoil episode IX in unexpected places. PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 23:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

@PizzaMan: That isn't a valid reason for keeping the article from being retitled "Rey Skywalker." The Wikipedia rules specifically state that avoiding spoilers is not a valid reason to omit any information from any part of a Wikipedia article. That includes the title. I agree with you that we shouldn't rename the article, though. She's not really Rey Skywalker, it's just a name she adopts out of respect for the Skywalkers.  GrendelNightmares  (talk) 00:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: I believe the film makes its UK release today (19 December) and releases in the US tomorrow (20 December), not sure on the release in other areas. I cannot speak to any revelations in the film yet, but depending on what they are, it may be worth keeping this in mind before we can determine a proper consensus. 04:25, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Comment (and facepalm): Oh, great. We've attracted the attention of the media. Now we really need to develop a protocol for these kinds of articles. ωικιωαrrιorᑫᑫ1ᑫ 14:01, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Coming here from a question at WT:SPOILER, keep in mind WP:COMMONNAME should apply. The world right now and for the next few months/years will only know her as "Rey" and not this name, thus making that the common name. You can provide redirects from "Rey Skywalker" to here to help those searching on that, but this should stay at "Rey (Star Wars)" for some time. --Masem (t) 15:23, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Rey's last name is currently ambiguous, and changing the article title to Rey LastName right now appears to place the interests of the editors before the interests of the vast majority of the current readers. Rey (Star Wars) is unambiguous, common, and meets all five criteria of [[1]]. Additionally, Rey (Star Wars) places the interests of the current readers first. I am unaware of any reason to change to Rey LastName now other than to be more consistent with other article titles (which is a guideline in Article Titles). But at this time it appears pedantic, which is discouraged in [[2]]. CantankerousGandalf (talk) 18:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose any move. Even if true, WP:UCN indicates that using her most common name is better; she was simply "Rey" throughout most of the series, it only becomes a major plot point near the end of the very last episode. This is different from other characters, where the full name was common throughout. Luke Skywalker was clearly, unambiguously, early on, and repeatedly referred to by his full name. This common name approach works with other characters from the canon as well, Princess Leia is under that name rather than "Leia Organa", for example.--Jayron32 18:38, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose. Changing the article name would imply her birth as a Skywalker. Instead I think we should explain it in the article, but not rename it. UpdateNerd (talk) 20:51, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

We shouldn't list her name as "Rey Skywalker."

Her name isn't Rey Skywalker. It's just Rey. If anything, it's Rey Palpatine. She just refers to herself as Rey Skywalker at the end of the movie. She is not, however, related at all to the Skywalker family.  GrendelNightmares  (talk)

@Edwtie: quit edit warring and start discussing or I'm going to block you. It looks like the source you're using does indeed say that she refers to herself as "Rey Skywalker" at a point in the film. It does not claim that the character's name has been intended to be objectively changed by the filmmaker. I know it's easy to get caught up in fictional lore, but we still require reliable sources, and editorially interpreting the fictional words of a fictional character rather than using reliable sources can quickly become disruptive. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 23:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

This film has been released in Netherlands. this plot is now available. This source is from this film . This film have confirmed that Rey Skywalker. Rey Palpatine is not correct! Edwtie (talk) 17:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Change back to Rey (Star Wars). Otherwise it's a massive spoiler Jacob Newton (talk) 02:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

There are valid reasons to not feature "Skywalker", but that's not one of them; Wikipedia:SPOILER covers this. DÅRTHBØTTØ _(T•C) 03:37, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Considering she tells the lady at the end of the movie, it’s fair to say she’s adopted the name for herself. I think we should change the name here accordingly, but I’m not sure when.Aresef (talk) 00:29, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

IMO changing the article name would imply her birth as a Skywalker. Instead I think we should explain it in the article, but not rename it. UpdateNerd (talk) 11:41, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Listing chosen names over birth name has a precedent, see https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Kylo_Ren and https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Kanan_Jarrus , the birth name (simply Rey, not "Rey Palpatine") can be listed separately whilst her chosen name (Rey Skywalker) should be listed predominantly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.139.192.9 (talk) 03:41, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Her name is Rey Skywalker. Change the article name, you dunces. Literally the whole message of the Sequel Trilogy is simply: "you can choose your own destiny" Saying that her last name is Palpatine implies that blood is more important that faith. If you watch the movies you might notice that every time someone focuses on bloodlines over faith something awful happens (Qui-Gon deciding to take Anakin from chattel slavery into monk slavery lead to some pretty bad things, I don't know if you've ever watched the movies, but the message is as clear as mud). Watch the movies. "Who are you?" "Rey Skywalker" Literally the final words of the ENTIRE SAGA. Watch the movies. Rename this article for God's sake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.114.101.31 (talk) 22:57, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

This is absolute garbage, and no one has any right to alter something that is not their decision to do so. Furthermore, locking the article from editing it back to the CORRECT entry title of 'Rey Skywalker' is obscene and should warrant a perma-ban. Not only are you potentially infringing on copyright elements by changing the characters name, your claim is clearly biased and not based in reality, other than the reality created in your mind. If you do not alter it back to 'Rey Skywalker', punitive action should and will be taken against you. 2443t5erer4 (talk) 22:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Careful with the spoilers

I get that WP:SPOILERS belong in articles, but nobody (including me) wants to be spoiled on a movie that hasn't come out yet when they see revealing talk page section headers on their watchlist. Consider taking spoilers out of the section headers. I am now unwatching this page until I see the movie on Saturday. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:44, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• This is actually a valid point. Yes, we don't omit or censor spoilers simply because they're spoilers, because we're an encyclopedia, not a fan site. But that doesn't mean that going out of your way to add unreliably-sourced or leaked spoilers with no encyclopedic value before a film has released is not still disruptive. At best, it's fancruft, at worst, it damages the project's reputation among our readers. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 04:03, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

This film was been released in some european countries. You will BE CAREFULL,because more readers are coming from another countries and know more then you. I have already seen this film. this is NOT LEAKED! Edwtie (talk) 17:38, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 19 December 2019

Request moving the information added to the introduction as a note "[a] While Rey is biologically a Palpatine, she takes the surname Skywalker at the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" (added in the 14:46, 19 December 2019 edit), because there are multiple sections already within the article that are more appropriate for this information. Move this from the introduction and footnote to the section titled "The Rise of Skywalker (2019)". Alternatively, if that is not the best location for this information, move to the section "Parentage". CantankerousGandalf (talk) 20:56, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

This has been done. Although I don't know how to answer with a big green checkmark. UpdateNerd (talk) 11:46, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Parralles in Ancestry

Though this won't have to be included for several weeks or even months the similarities in the family backstories of this character and Paul Atreides of the Dune - a grandchild of the antagonist - could be included on this page or in The Rise of Skywalker article.

Young Rey

Young Rey is played by Josefine Irrera Jackson in Star Wars IX - The Rise of Skywalker. I am however not able to add content. AniDelRey (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

AniDelRey, Please provide a source. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:09, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

How to update the "Parentage" section

The section will have to be updated. How much of the speculation in there really passes the ten-year test and what could be cut? Have a "pre-reveal" and "post-reveal" subsection? – Muboshgu (talk) 05:09, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Late reply, but I feel that this edit (followup tweak here) was all that was needed update-wise once the latest material was added. The speculation material about her parentage is always going to be relevant because it's WP:Due for the topic. It's about how fans and the media reacted -- reception. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Rey's Last Name

Since, telling by the numerous edits, no one can come to a consensus, should we open an RfC to figure this out or can we can talk about it like adults? Considering there's been so much back and forth, I think it's time to talk. This would mostly apply to this page, but probably also Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as well, since no one can come to a consensus there either. Thought it was time to open a discussion on this. As well, I believe everything should be left as just "Rey" until we figure out how referring to her. QueerFilmNerd^talk 06:32, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

There is a requested move that is discussing the page title at the top of this talk page. As to the article text itself, WP:COMMONNAME should prevail here. For all intents and purposes, "Rey" is the name our sources most frequently use. In a few months once the dust has settled and the other names become more common we can look at switching it then. —Locke Cole • t • c 07:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Shall we attempt to keep just "Rey" throughout articles? Specifically this one, and the infobox which people love changing. Considering this article currently has Skywalker and Palpatine listed. I'm going to revert it and tell them to come to the talk page. QueerFilmNerd^talk 07:35, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

I would change any instances to just "Rey" on sight. I've already done so at Daisy Ridley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) after someone added it there. I suspect it will be like whack-a-mole over the next few months tho. :/ —Locke Cole • t • c 08:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Per WP:COMMONNAME, the article's title should be called just "Rey"; but on the |full name's infobox, it should be Rey "Skywalker" Palpatine since she was a Palpatine and she adopted the last name of the Skywalker family. Miaow 19:43, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:COMMONNAME doesn't say that. Quoting: Although official, scientific, birth, original, or trademarked names are often used for article titles, the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred. Can you please cite the part that supports your assertion that the infobox and other areas should have the full name? —Locke Cole • t • c 20:00, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree with the above person who stated we should wait for a bit and see what names become common. For now, let's keep it at Rey until a consensus is decided upon. QueerFilmNerd^talk 05:49, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Just a side comment here that while I agree about the article's title at this stage, that doesn't necessarily mean all instances of "Rey" in article prose should avoid stating "Rey Skywalker". It depends on the context of the statement in question and the relevant source being cited. WP:COMMONNAME is for article titles only. --GoneIn60 (talk) 12:40, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't think we should move the page as of "Rey Skywalker" nor "Rey Palpatine" as well as of right now since the moving the page will technically be big spoilerish (as of the ending) for some people haven't seen Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker yet.DigiPen92 (talk) 03:56, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Couldn't disagree more. WP:SPOILER exists specifically to prevent this line of thinking from inhibiting accuracy. Personally, I think something akin to this would be best for the lead:

“ Rey, born Rey Palpatine and later known as Rey Skywalker, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise and the main protagonist of the sequel film trilogy. ”

Alternatively, we could simply include an {{efn}} explaining that her lineage is that of Palpatine, but that she identifies herself as Rey Skywalker in TROS. I think keeping it simply Rey as the opening of the article is definitely the move, but the inclusion of Palpatine and/or Skywalker as a surname needs to be there in one form or another. Sock (tock talk) 17:29, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

No, I meant like we should wait to move it to Rey Skywalker till a few more weeks or a month when it comes to DVD/Blu-Ray since Wookiepedia kinda jumped the gun rename it too early when the film was released. I don't think like using that cquote that you put it down would work since alot of fans were waiting for answers of Rey's parents are for years. That cqutoe that you pointed it out is still very spoilerish.DigiPen92 (talk) 23:32, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

• This is not just about "spoilers" or the character's "common name". Per the primary source that is the film's credits, the character's name is "Rey". Not "Rey Skywalker", not "Rey Palpatine". Inferring either name as the character's true name short of a reliable source is editorialization. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 03:28, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Full name should be Rey Palpatine

Her grandpa is Palpatine Nonclan king (talk) 20:07, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Nonclan king, this has been answered above. Never did she go by "Palpatine". And for all we know, her father changed his name. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Rey (Star Wars) → Rey Skywalker – There is substantial precedent for using a character (and sometimes a person's) chosen name over their birth name, especially in Star Wars. The most prominent examples are Kylo Ren (in leiu of Ben Solo) and Kanan Jarrus (in lieu of Caleb Dume) and this is also the case for several pages for celebrities with different known names than birth names, which is all in accordance with WP:Common name. The character's name going forward is explicitly established as Rey Skywalker. Further, there is limited reason to exclude her last name, because the primary name by which she was known prior to TRoS is still in her full name, causing no confusion moving forward. This will also help reduce ambiguity in line with WP:Disambiguation. It would be a simple matter to annotate that her birth name was simply "Rey" before she knew her parentage and made the decision to go by Rey Skywalker. 107.139.192.9 (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Age

MacCready, regarding this, my issue is that you keep removing Rey's age. Why do you keep removing it? I don't see an issue with that section continuing to begin by stating, "Rey is introduced as a 19-year-old woman in The Force Awakens." The rest of the material can continue to come after that.

On a side note: Per WP:Minor, you should stop marking edits as minor when they are not minor. Please don't ping me if you reply. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:38, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Also, the "as a scavenger from the deserts of Jakku, holding out hope that those who left her there will someday return." piece you added is redundant to the "The Force Awakens (2015)" subsection of the "Appearances" section. We don't need that material in the "Characterization" section and then in the "Appearances" section right after it. That's plot material. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Rey's Father's name

In the Wikipedia article about Sheev Palatine, it says that his son was named D'mitri. Palatine is Rey's grandfather. So, D'mitri is Rey's father.

If this article is going to have a family tree, it should most certainly be the Palpatine family tree, not Skywalker. And why does it show that Rey is Ben Solo's sister?

 Not done: Please see Wikipedia:Spoiler. We don't hide spoilers. If you don't want to be spoiled on The Rise of Skywalker, see the movie before reading the wiki page. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:27, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Two recent quote additions reverted

TheDarkOne27, regarding this? I reverted because, like I stated, it's excessive quoting. Why do you think it's needed or otherwise improves the article? Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I added that information because I thought the section could benefit from the inclusion of quotes from the writers providing narrative justifications for their respective choices regarding Rey's parentage. I thought these were equally (if not more) valuable than the public reactions to each reveal as they provided behind-the-scenes context to the development of Rey's parents. I would appreciate it if you reinstated my edits, but if you feel that the quotes are excessive, then I would accept truncated versions of the quotes.

TheDarkOne27, I WP:Indented your post for you. I don't think we should include those big quotes. The section is long enough and addresses all the points that need addressing. Lengthening it the way you did can make it seem overly long. It's best to summarize. One of us can contact WP:TV WP:Film for more opinions about your additions.

Small grammar issue

"Rey ... faces adversaries such as Supreme Leader Snoke, Kylo Ren, and the resurrected Emperor Palpatine; the latter is revealed to be her grandfather in The Rise of Skywalker."

"Latter" must be replaced with "last" or "last of which" since there are more than two people mentioned, but that doesn't read great. I'd recommend just "... Emperor Palpatine—who is revealed ...“ --Baltam314 (talk) 18:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Change the name Rey to Rey Skywalker. 72.50.16.95 (talk) 05:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Seems that "Rey" is the common name for this character according to the article lead. If you can provide reliable sources demonstrating otherwise, please reactivate your request by changing the answered parameter in the {{edit semi-protected}} template at the top of this section back to no. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 08:09, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I would oppose such a move because as mentioned in the previous move request to change the title to Rey Skywalker she used once at the end of the film and only told a random character in Tatooine. Also, considering the that request was closed early due as a WP:SNOW I could only see this as being successful if significant new facts are provided and considering there hasn’t been any new works that she’s appeared in since the last request I doubt any exists.--70.24.249.16 (talk) 22:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

introduction of the arcticle

Her name is not Rey Skywalker, only annoying people once said that, there is no proof that she really is a Skywalker. She is also not a Palpatine, because Palpatine died in 4ABY and so he could not influence the midiclorians from her in 14ABY. IAmTheSenate66dewit (talk) 20:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Did...did you even watch the movie?

In the characterization add

In The Force Awakens we know Rey is brave and good, but we also know she's impatient and a little hot-headed.

Keep Rey's name as Rey.

Leave it as Rey, there is already a huge argument between people arguing that she's a Skywalker, or a Palpatine. Leave it as Rey, or else the article is just brewing the argument even more. 2600:8801:3090:4450:8C36:3938:7E92:2104 (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
