Interesting. Fits with the tradition though, I think I like it.
Not exactly a great development. Wonder why?Reportedly their first choice quit.
Cross your fingers......Hopefully it's not the same old she unwillingly created a new dark-sider so she has to go off into exile trope.
Does anyone know Rey's a Palpatine? It'd be funny if she got crap because of using the Skywalker name when she comes from the only person in the galaxy worse than Vader.Although it'd be kind of interesting if she gets 'fired' from the job by whatever version of the Republic has happened, because of her family. In Disney continuity, everybody finding out who Leia's father really was the end of her political career (although maybe not Luke's, although it probably didn't help his training of Ben).
Maybe the Vader scandal is part of why Luke's academy didn't become bigger? I think Luke said he didn't have that many students right? Seemed weird, you'd think there'd be more applicants given Luke's hero status, and I didn't think being Force sensitive was *that* rare. But maybe nobody wanted to be trained by the son of Vader?
