Silly 'Star Wars' Questions: When Yoda says 'there is another Skywalker' in Return of the Jedi, is he referring to Rey from the Force Awakens?
When Yoda says 'there is another Skywalker' in Return of the Jedi, is he referring to Rey from the Force Awakens?
No.
Going strictly by what we see in Star Wars - Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, it is obvious that Yoda is not referring to Rey from Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Yoda’s last words to Luke before crossing over to the other side of the Force are:
“There is…another…Sky…walk…er.”
In the very next scene, which is what writers sometimes call an “exposition dump,” we find out who the other is:
LUKE
I can't kill my own father.
BEN
Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.
LUKE
Yoda spoke of another.
BEN
The other he spoke of is your twin sister.
LUKE
But I have no sister.
BEN
Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your
father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were
to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the
reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.
LUKE
Leia! Leia's my sister.
Notice that Ben, aka Obi-Wan, doesn’t say, “Oh, and there is another Skywalker; she just hasn’t been born yet, but someday she’ll make her way off Jakku, a desert planet very much like Tatooine. You’ll meet her, oh, in about 32 years.”
