Lucky Lemon's stunning Star Wars cosplay captures Rey's time on Jakku before the sequel trilogy, beautifully showcasing her introduction and the pivotal moments that shaped her character. In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rey's arrival on Jakku was a standout moment, effortlessly communicating her backstory and strength without the need for words. While she longed to remain on Jakku and await her family's return, it marked the beginning of her journey into the vastness of the galaxy. Lucky Lemon's portrayal of Rey captures this fascinating duality, as she gazes skyward with a sense of readiness for the perils that lie ahead.
Not only is her cosplay incredibly precise, capturing every minute detail, but the surrounding scenery flawlessly replicates an expansive, arid terrain reminiscent of Jakku's vast desert. As Rey gazes towards the heavens, her staff firmly points towards the ground, symbolizing the internal struggle she faces in "The Force Awakens" - torn between the decision to stay or depart.
Will Rey Ever Go Back To Jakku?
Finn was perplexed by Rey's decision to return to Jakku, despite leaving the planet behind. The question arises whether she will ever make her way back. A similar situation unfolded with Luke Skywalker, who had no intention of revisiting Tatooine after the events of the original Star Wars film. However, circumstances compelled him to venture to Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi when Han Solo was captured. Similarly, Rey might find herself compelled to return to Jakku for a mission, forcing her to confront her past in light of the vastly improved life she now leads. One potential scenario could involve Rey embarking on a mission to investigate her grandfather's legacy, which could potentially lead her to the Jakku Observatory of Palpatine mentioned in Chuck Wendig's Aftermath trilogy.
Rey could choose to aid her fellow scavengers who were never given the opportunity to escape. Unlike Tatooine, which saw the emergence of figures like Cobb Vanth and Boba Fett following Jabba's demise, Jakku was a much smaller settlement where scavengers toiled relentlessly to salvage whatever remnants they could find. With her New Jedi Order, Rey could assist in relocating them to a new location or support those who opt to remain in building a more prosperous society. Although Rey herself might no longer desire to remain on Jakku, future Star Wars narratives could very well witness her return.
