Rey’s look from Star Wars: The Force Awakens gets a dark new twist in this terrifying cosplay video. Despite her role as the new hero of the Star Wars series, Rey has always been sensitive to the dark side of the Force alongside the light side. This dichotomy has inspired Star Wars fans to theorize and fantasize what her corruption might be like. She ultimately remains aligned with the light side, even inspiring the villainous Kylo Ren to find redemption, but it’s hard to ignore what a great Sith she could have made.
The cosplay video begins with Rey’s original outfit from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but soon transitions into a second, darker version of the look.
Accompanied by the audio asking, “How do you go about defining good and evil?” the transition is dramatic and perfectly captures the thrill of imagining Rey as a dark side user. With the ominous sounds of Darth Vader’s breathing ending the clip as Rey spins a red lightsaber, she appears to be the perfect new Star Wars villain.
Star Wars: New Jedi Order – Cast, Story, Timeline & Everything We Know
Rey’s Star Wars return is happening in Star Wars: New Jedi Order. Here’s what is known about the story, cast, and release of Daisy Ridley’s film.
Rey’s Dark Side Pull Helped Her Balance The Force
Rey began her Star Wars journey as an unlikely hero but soon slipped into a dangerous relationship with Kylo Ren and the dark side of the Force before course-correcting back into the light. This pull she felt from the dark side allowed her to connect with Ren, who was similarly torn between the dark and light. The Force dyad they created together opened the door to Force powers that no Jedi or Sith had successfully used before, showing just how powerful the Force really is.
Furthermore, Rey is able to bring down Palpatine’s dark forces by wielding the power of all the Jedi before her, bringing a more tangible balance to the galaxy again. The legacy of the Skywalker family often bounces between pulling toward the light or dark, but Rey is able to finally bridge those two together. The idea of balance is prevalent for the heroes of the Star Wars saga, and Rey is able to approach that concept from a unique perspective.
