Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
Star Wars : The boost of SkywalkerdirectorJ.J. Abramsdebunks a popular Reylo devotee theory involve East Asian lore and anime . 2015’sThe Force Awakensfirst introduce the role of Rey andKylo Ren , she the orphan girl living on the desert planet Jakku and longing for the rejoinder of her parent , and he the Logos of Han Solo andPrincess Leiawho proceed down a dark path and became a leader of the all - powerful First Order .
Rey and Kylo ’s first encounter of grade come at the end ofThe Force Awakens , when despite her want of training , the Force - sensitive Rey was able to trump Kylo in an epiclightsaber affaire d’honneur . The two would later on fulfil again in the sequelThe Last Jedi , whose story would powerfully imply a mysterious spiritual connection between the two role . Indeed , devotee thought they saw a tip of a possible romantic bond between Rey and Ren , and shape an integral hypothesis based on the legend of the Red Thread of Fate , a tale in East Asiatic lore in which it ’s take that two hoi polloi who are destined to be lovers are connected by the idol via an unseeable red crease that deplume them together . A cherry laurel wreath appearing on Rey ’s hand in an earlyRise of Skywalkertrailer indeed added more fuel to the whimsey that the film will reveal Rey and Ren ’s bond , and that Abrams and company in fact take up brainchild for their level from the Red Thread of Fate narration .

Now however , Abrams himself has get along frontward to shoot down this picky buff possibility . Speaking toVanity Fair , the writer - director only express , " No . That is not something that we incorporated . ”
The Red Thread of Fate story may have its beginning in ancient lore , but the tale in reality became familiar to many modern day viewing audience thanks to the animeYour Name , a love news report about two high schoolers who lead off swap dead body , which reference the original legend . As it happens , Abrams himself is a devotee ofYour Nameand was at one time reported to bedeveloping an American remake . That fact alone was enough to ratchet up rooter speculation thatRey and Kylo ’s relationshipdrew inhalation from the Red Thread of Fate , butLast Jedidirector Rian Johnson also hinted at such a mystical connectedness between the type when he tweeted about red threads ( the tweets were later deleted ) . When the red ribbon come out on Rey ’s hand in theRise of Skywalkerteaser , it naturally seemed like a very overt and perhaps possibility - confirming detail to those fain to believe that Abrams and Johnson were inspired by the ancient lovemaking story as well as its echoes in anime .
Fan theories have surely been built upon flimsier evidence than what was offered up in support of the Red Thread of Fate Reylo connectedness . But as unanimous as the hypothesis seems to be , it now appear that fans were once again way off base in their guess . Then again , if Rey and Kylo really were connected by the gods ( or the Force ) in a way that echoes the Red Thread of Fate tale andYour Name , it ’s unlikely that Abrams would come out and admit it ahead of the release ofStar state of war : The Rise of Skywalker . So it ’s up to fans to settle if this one is really debunked , or if Abrams is simply try out to throw them off the trail .
