#rey organa solely pays respect to leia and han bc theyre organas (han married in)

I agree with the Skywalker name thing. Rey’s relationship with Luke was never good in TLG and forced in TROS. She had a better connection with Han in TFA and Leia in the entire trilogy. Solo would’ve been better (but then people would say that makes her married to Ben or something gross) so Rey Organa would have been cool. But then that would require acknowledging that Leia was also adopted and blood never meant anything anyway 🙃🙃🙃

this answer is going to be overly long bc im really into rey skywalker so sorry abt that

im still a fan of the skywalker name thing, bc i think for the ga it’s the most obvious and direct link. there’s a post that goes around every now and then about himym that talks about how the finale should be for the fans, and while i don’t totally agree with that statement i think there’s elements of truth to it, especially for something like star wars. the skywalker name has more weight for us (and in-universe) than either organa or solo, so it’s exciting to see it live on after lukes death imo

i see the appeal of rey organa. she was closer to leia and spent more time with her than luke or han, but at the same time leia never fully dove into jedihood, even if she obviously did lean into it some to train rey.

luke and leia represent two different paths of their lineage, leia going into the activist/political leader route like padme while luke embraces being a jedi like anakin. rey doesn’t seem to have much interest in pursuing the same career as leia, she’s more following in the footsteps of luke, so to me it’s obvious she’d choose the name that has more meaning as a jedi.

the organa name is the name of leaders who stood up for their beliefs. personally, id love to see the organa name live on in someone who embodies that more- and that’s not rey. really i think finn, general of the resistance who totally led a stormtrooper rebellion and is in need of a surname, would be more fitting as an organa than rey.
