The Rise of Rey Skywalker: The Importance of Community and Friends in Star Wars
In Jason T. Eberl & Kevin S. Decker (eds.), Star Wars and philosophy strikes back: this is the way. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley-Blackwell. pp. 284-292 (2023)
Abstract
The last line of the nine movie Skywalker Saga in Star Wars has Rey, a Palpatine, claim that she is actually Rey Skywalker. By looking at theories of friendship we can make sense of this final line in the movies by showing that Rey is indicating that she is knowingly adopting the values associated with the community of the Jedi and the many friends she has made in The Resistance.Author's Profile
