Rey and Kylo Ren are understandably two of the most popular and mysterious characters in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.' Although it is already known that Rey is a scavenger from the desert planet of Jakku and Kylo Ren is a major (possibly mentally unstable) Darth Vader fanboy, their origins and real names are still a complete mystery.
But their abilities may no longer be a secret. Harrison Ford aka Han Solo recently conducted a Twitter chat with 'Star Wars' fans, where he answered several questions about 'The Force Awakens.' At one point, Twitter user @larissayasin asked, "#TwitterAwakens What's you fav action scene in the #TheForceAwakens?"
Harrison Ford's response was a huge surprise: "The sword fight with Rey and Kilo Ren. Fantastic visual storytelling. - Harrison Ford #TwitterAwakens"
Once you get past the fact that Han Solo cannot spell Kylo Ren's name, you are finally faced with an exciting revelation: At one point in 'The Force Awakens,' Daisy Ridley's character will actually pick up a lightsaber and confront Kylo Ren in a duel! This confirms that Rey is Force-sensitive and also capable of wielding a lightsaber.
The Rey/Kylo Ren sword fight may have already been hinted upon in the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Japanese trailer, where Ren is seen aiming his lightsaber at Rey's neck. Some believe the shot may be from the scene where Rey decides to attack Ren on her own with the use of Finn's lightsaber.
But wait, if Rey has the lightsaber, what has happened to Finn?
There is a possibility that Finn gets injured in his fight with Kylo Ren, since his dueling skills may not be as great as his opponents. (Also, he used to be a Stormtrooper, who usually use blasters instead of lightsabers). Finn's injury may be the reason why Rey picks up the lightsaber and challenges Kylo Ren in a duel.
But before Harrison Ford's tweet is considered gospel, it is always best to take things with a grain of salt since Han Solo might simply be trolling fans with the Rey/Kylo Ren revelation.
