  (#7) Rey Will Build A New Jedi Order To Take On The Knights Of Ren

  Sightings of the Knights of Ren have been surprisingly sparse throughout Episode VII and Episode VIII of Star Wars, but an anonymous user on TVTropes’ WildMassGuessing section has speculated that they’ll be at the center of a massive battle in Episode IX:

  The ending of The Last Jedi shows people across the galaxy beginning to manifest Force abilities. Rey, who has the original Jedi scriptures from Ahch-To in her possession, will have gathered some of these Force-sensitives as a nascent Jedi Order to help the Resistance rebuild their forces in the aftermath of the Battle of Crait. Meanwhile with Snoke and Phasma dead, the Knights of Ren, who have yet to be shown in the trilogy beyond flashbacks, will take a more central role in the story as Kylo Ren's elite and devoted followers in the final battle to come.

  (#11) Rey Is Going To Kill Kylo In Episode IX

  Bustle has a lot of speculation about the future of the Star Wars franchise, and writer Olivia Truffaut-Wong has a particularly deadly prediction about Kylo and Rey:

  If Kylo truly is evil once and for all, then it's clear that there's only one way for Episode IX to end: Kylo Ren must die. In The Last Jedi, Snoke says that Rey has risen with the Force to counteract Kylo's power. As Kylo has grown more powerful with the Dark Side, the Force has balanced his power through Rey, pulling her to the Light. If Snoke is right, then Rey is the only person strong enough to match Kylo and potentially beat him in battle.

  It would be sad to see Rey have to kill Kylo to defeat the First Order, especially after she had such strong faith that he could be turned, but it might be the only way.

  (#8) Kylo Was Playing Both Snoke And Rey In The Throne Room

  Reddit user mickluchiano213 thinks that people aren’t giving Kylo Ren enough credit for cleverness,

  While watching the film I was personally shocked to find out that Snoke was behind the merging of Kylo and Rey’s minds.

  Rey and Kylo both knew the other had nothing to do with it. I believe Kylo figures out pretty quickly that it was Snoke and that he will have to kill Rey.

  Upon figuring this out he realizes he is now in a position a power with Rey and with Snoke. He lets Rey see the good side of him that still has a chance of turning back to light. He lets Snoke see the anger and hate towards Luke, the Jedi, and the rebels. He is giving them both what they want and both believe that they will win him over.

  In reality Kylo does care for Rey much more than he cares for Snoke. But more than anything Kylo wants power. He decides he will continue the cycle and do what his hero (Vader) should have done. Kill his master and rule the Galaxy with the one person he cares about. (Luke for Vader and Rey for Kylo).

  He knows Rey is filled with a lot of emotion much like him. And knows that he, a young strong man, will have a much longer reign than that of ancient, weak Snoke. And he will have a much stronger enforcer in Rey.

  (#9) Supreme Leader Snoke Was Manipulating Both Kylo And Rey From The Very Beginning

  Kylo Ren and Rey obviously share some sort of connection, and Reddit poster dibidi theorizes that the common denominator between the two could be long-term manipulation at the hands of Snoke:

  Consider: Anakin was force conceived by Plagueis/Sidious.

  What if Rey is the attempt of Snoke to do the same thing, except he’s not powerful enough to force conceive a child. He instead is powerful enough to imbue the force into an already conceived child.

  Rey was Snoke’s contingency plan for an apprentice if he was unable to turn Ben Solo to the dark side.

  This explains why Snoke seems to be familiar with Rey.

  This explains why Rey is seemingly the counterpart force-wise to Kylo Ren.

  This explains why Rey’s parents probably found it easy to sell her off; once Snoke turned Ben, Snoke did not need Rey anymore and screwed Rey’s parents over. They sold Rey to Unkar Plutt as a way to recoup their losses.

  More importantly, this does not contradict TLJ which established that Rey was born a nobody.

  This also provides parallelism to Anakin’s story of being born a nobody too.

  Finally this provides dramatic irony assuming all of this is true — Snoke created Rey as a dark side counter measure to Ben Solo if Ben could not be turned. Ben turned to the dark side and Snoke abandons Rey. As a result, Rey then becomes the light side counter measure to Kylo Ren.

  (#5) Rey Briefly Pondered Killing Kylo In The Last Jedi

  Reddit user liquidtorpedo has a unique take on a Star Wars fan theory, theorizing about a scene that MUST have happened offscreen in The Last Jedi:

  What we are shown is this: After Holdo's kamikaze attack Hux arrives at the throne room in the right moment to witness Kylo Ren regaining consciousness. Kylo looks around and ask him where Rey is. Hux says she has already ran away.

  So she woke up earlier, right?

  Imagine the scene: Rey wakes up in the burning throne room, still dizzy from the blast Snoke's Star Destroyer suffered seconds ago. She looks around, and sees Kylo lying on the ground not far away. She sees that he is still breathing. That he is alive. Absentmindedly she picks up her lightsaber from the ground only to realize moments later that her lightsaber was destroyed during the battle - what she is holding now is Kylo's. She shakes her head and looks around again. To the throne, to the lightsaber in her hand and to the unconscious Kylo on the ground. And we see that she realizes that she could end this right now. She could kill Kylo Ren. She could kill him easily. This is what she wanted to do moments ago and now she has the chance. Maybe she could even take his place as the leader of the First Order. At this point she is certain that Kylo is now irredeemably evil and leaving him alive will only breed suffering and despair. She steps to him, switches the red lightsaber on and raises it, ready to strike him dead. And at this point we can see a flashback to Luke doing the exact same thing. Rey suddenly realizes that she is about to do what she despises her old master for. She throws the lightsaber to the ground with disgust, turns away and starts running.

  The details may have been different, but the point is the same. When she wakes up, Rey faces the same dilemma Luke had earlier. The greatest moral dilemma of the entire story. Should we destroy evil if we have the chance to? And we aren't shown how she, our supposed main character, handles this. The more I'm thinking about it the more and more I'm convinced that including this 30 second scene would radically change the entire movie.

  (#4) Rey And Kylo Will Truly Balance The Force Together

  A writer over at Star Wars Analysis, Josh Schwarz, put together a thorough theory on what the future holds for a potential Kylo/Rey alliance, and they were even nice enough to post a summary on Reddit:

  Rey, Snoke, and Kylo all have visions of the future in The Last Jedi.

  Rey and Snoke's visions come true, but not in the way they expected. Essentially, these visions were misinterpreted. Rey thought that Kylo would turn to the Light Side. Kylo did turn, but he turned against Snoke and didn't join the Light Side. Snoke thought Kylo would kill his true enemy, Rey. Kylo did kill his true enemy, but it was Snoke, not Rey.

  Kylo has a vision that Rey will join him, and believes this means that Rey will turn to the Dark Side. However, Rey doesn't join him in The Last Jedi. So, this vision has not yet come to pass. What could it mean?

  I believe that Rey will join Kylo in Episode IX, but she won't turn to the Dark Side. Instead, Rey and Kylo will form an alliance between Light and Dark that can truly end the cycle of destructive conflict and bring peace to the galaxy. In this case, Kylo’s vision would come true in the sense that Rey would join him, and she would 'turn' to a certain extent, as she’d be pivoting away from the Jedi and towards a gray area between the Light and Dark. However, it would fit with the theme of visions being misinterpreted, as Rey wouldn't turn to the Dark Side.

  By the end of TLJ, Luke and Snoke are dead. This means that in Episode IX, it’ll be up to Rey and Kylo to blaze their own trail. The prequel trilogy ended with the Dark Side triumphant and the Light Side devastated. The original trilogy ended with the Light Side triumphant and the Dark Side devastated. Perhaps this sequel trilogy will end with the Light Side and Dark Side united in true balance.
