Star Wars: Dark Rey's Lightsaber Is Secretly Connected To Kylo Ren's
During her internal conflict with the dark side of the Force in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey sees a vision of herself as a dark side user, armed with a lightsaber with a fascination connection to Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren’s lightsaber dazzled Star Wars fans in the first teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with the Knights of Ren weapon differentiating itself from more familiar Sith lightsabers by having both a crossguard and an unstable red blade.
