Abrams, who became intrigued by the idea of directing The Force Awakens with the notion of exploring who Luke Skywalker was so many years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, really enjoyed the idea that this new character would not even know who Luke was-and that she could, in fact, regard him as a myth. Original screenwriter Michael Ardnt described Kira as a loner hothead, a gear-head, and, of course, a badass. One big thing that was different, however, was her name: During development, she was known as Kira. Rey’s character started to come together early in pre-production, and basic character traits were always a constant. A new generation of heroes had to be created. The creative team knew from the beginning of development that the continuity of the Star Wars Expanded Universe would not be followed for the new films, so there were no preexisting characters like Jaina Solo who could be adapted to the big screen. Who that heroine would be, of course, was a story that had to be developed from the ground up. There was never any doubt that the sequel trilogy, beginning with The Force Awakens, was going to center on a young heroine. For example, did you know that… Rey Was Originally Called Kira Rey, originally written as "Kira," was envisioned early on as a scavenger who longed for a better life. Using these books and the knowledge of Wookieepedia, the largest Star Wars fan site in the world, I took a deeper dive into some of Rey’s story that you may not have heard before. For Rey, we learned more about her in books like Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary by Pablo Hidalgo, Rey’s Survival Guide by Jason Fry, and many more. That’s why Star Wars has always had books and more to fill in some of the blanks that we otherwise wouldn’t have known.

We learned a lot about her in The Force Awakens, but even a movie can only cover so much. My favorite character from the new film is none other than Rey, the newest central character of the Star Wars Saga. Star Wars is nothing without its characters, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens is no exception.
