🗣 REY COMIC SPOILER ALERT 🚨: This takes place after the events on Starkiller Base and before Rey sets off for Ahch-To. Rey deals with Han’s death and her feelings of abandonment and loneliness 😔 but, she also begins to find belonging and purpose in The Resistance! 🗣

1. So the comic begins with Rey reminiscing on how she was, “left behind, lost, alone, and abandoned” 😫 my poor baby 🥺

2. Leia wants Rey to tell her what happened between Han and Ben 😔 I’m in awe of Leia’s strength and how she keeps it together. She has every right to be outwardly upset just as Rey, but she’s determined to hear what exactly happened.

Rey explains how Han literally walked out on a limb to confront “Kylo Ren.” Leia corrects Rey & says, “he didn’t face Kylo Ren. He tried to speak to our son.” 😩 Leia still sees her son as Ben 🤧 Han’s death made Rey feel as though she was abandoned...again 😭

3. Leia comforts Rey by telling her she’s not alone and that she’s apart of something bigger 🙂 “Everything you do, everywhere you go, you have the hope of a galaxy with you.”

Poe thinks Luke is their only hope, but Leia sees Rey as another.

4. Rey & Chewie are off to find Luke but they run into technical difficulties on The Falcon! Rey is side-eyeing Artoo and his attitude 😂 the problem is that damn compressor acting up again 😤 Chewie catches on fire and Artoo has to put it out 🤣

5. They stop on a junkyard planet called Necropolis to get parts. They meet a shady alien named Ara-Nea, who seems to run this junkyard. Rey has to scavenge alone & she runs into a giant beast! She escapes but she is NOT happy. Why can’t Rey catch a break 😩

Earlier in the comic Leia told Rey, “Han knew there’s a time to run and there’s a time to make a stand.” Rey really puts that little lesson to use when confronting the giant beast because she was outty 🤣🏃🏻‍♀️

6. The alien didn’t expect Rey to survive. Rey calls Ara-Nea out for “luring ships, taking their money...and sending people down to their deaths.” Rey frees the slaves (wow the parallels to Anakin though 👀) that are working under the alien and Jedi mind tricks Ara-Nea into being jailed for its crimes 😌

7. She finally gets back to The Falcon. Rey says to Chewie, “sorry I took a while. I had to overthrow a vicious despot and install new leadership. You know what that’s like.” ✊ Rey has fucking JOKES 😂

In the end, they reach Ahch-To and Rey says, “it’s okay Chewie, I’m not alone...not anymore. I have the hope of a galaxy with me.” 🥺 Too bad Luke had to shit on her budding optimism when she was just starting to deal with her feelings of abandonment and loneliness ☹️

The last page of the comic explains how vital Rey is to the story and what she means to us 🤧 here are some interesting tid-bits from it that may give us insight into Rey’s past and her future...

1. “Rey found the belonging Maz knew she sought in Finn, Poe, Chewie, Leia, & the rest of the Resistance.”

We all thought Maz was referring to Ben...but what if Rey finds belonging with the Resistance, and finds complete UNDERSTANDING & ACCEPTANCE with Ben 👀🥺

2. “The galaxy presented Rey with every opportunity to embrace the dark side but she never did.”

Maybe dark!Rey is a vision because she’s had a hard life, yet she’s always remained a good person. Or, she turns dark because she’s possessed by something to do so 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. “While we don’t yet know how Rey’s story ends, we do know that she has inspired people both in a galaxy far, far away and in ours. She is hope, she is resilience, she is the light. Rey from nowhere is the hero we need and deserve.”

That’s my baby, PERIOD 🗣

Where do you think Rey could be at the beginning of TROS? I was thinking she’d be a fully-trained Jedi already like Luke was at the beginning of ROTJ, but with the new comic showing she’s struggling with the Force I wonder if something else is going on. Like maybe that scene in the D23 teaser where she throws her saber is because she struggling with her training or her control of the Force?

So the Allegiance comic is implying that Rey feels like she "lost" her Force power and is failing everyone around her. This is really interesting because it seems like once she closed the “door” on Ben, she started having difficulty in using the force. Well she did “awakened” her powers and gained force knowledge/abilities through her bond with Ben, so shutting off the bond is also shutting off the power she gained from it?Or she is so out of balance because of what happened between her and Ben?

Yes yes yes. From the little I’ve seen, I’m really happy about Rey’s portrayal in the comic, and I think it’s a good indication of where she’ll be at the beginning of TROS. She’s angry. She’s doubting herself. She’s frustrated (and once again she’s working her frustration through performative violence against a proxy target, and we know from TLJ that that frustration is directly caused by Kylo):

(x)

She’s suffering from imposter syndrome and identity issues (how relatable!):

She doesn’t sleep well, she has trouble focusing, and she seems somehow weaker and less in control of the Force now, which she fails to use against the horned bull monster. Technically, it might be because she’s troubled and the effort to keep the bond closed is distracting her. But from a meta perspective, rejecting her shadow (Ben) is making her weaker, not stronger. (Same goes for Ben, only ten times worse.)

They’re stronger when they’re together. The Force sings when they’re together. The Force is in turmoil, opening chasms in the ground, breaking lightsabers in two when they fight.

The bond is a good thing for both. Rejecting the bond is not, for neither. As Chelsea (@northgalis) said on Twitter, this further proves how the antis’ interpretation of TLJ as Rey's overcoming a toxic relationship with Ben and becoming a complete, self-fulfilled hero in the end is just... canonically incorrect and thematically wrong. It’s not that Rey wasn’t right to reject Ben in that particular moment; she was. But it can’t last long, and in the end, it will be like forcing herself to only use one half of her body. Rey’s always had the Force, but her active, adult relationship with it is intrinsically connected to Kylo. He’s the one who awakened her powers and helped her grow in them. The bond is a quintessential aspect of how Rey experiences the Force. And Kylo, without Rey, has always been devastatingly unbalanced, in pain, desperate to find peace and mental focus, to stop being “torn apart”. The moment they met, the moment the bond was formed between them, is when they found their true powers and their true adult selves.

The jungian subtext is so evident.

From the new Age of Resistance comic - Rey (Spoilers of the last page)

If Rey has found the belonging Maz mentioned, then the story is over. That's literally her whole arc.

"He didn't face Kylo Ren. He tried to speak to our son."

I have a lot of problems with this as woman this is why

You made her like a role model that perfect piece of propaganda without a soul without inner conflict without any depth really flat and shallow.

Comic is uncreative Rey has potential but cowards do nothing with her.

But what I could expect from ant?

And also I start feeling when they say she is mary sue which is bad very bad thing to do for your female hero
