STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Concept Art Reveals Another Sinister Take On "Dark Rey"

She may have only been in the film for a few seconds, but "Dark Rey" has struck a chord with many Star Wars fans, and this concept art for The Rise of SKywalker offers another sinister take on her...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was a very busy movie, and Dark Rey - who first appeared in a trailer for the Skywalker Saga finale - was seen for only a matter of seconds. That led to a lot of disappointment among fans, especially as theories swirled beforehand that we could see Rey take a turn to the Dark Side in the movie. 

While Dark Rey was ultimately only part of a vision in the remains of the Death Star II, this twisted take on Daisy Ridley's Jedi hero still struck a chord with many moviegoers. Now, thanks to concept artist Adam Brockbank, we get to see an alternate take on this evil version of Rey. 

It's a little more grounded than the version that ended up in The Rise of Skywalker, as there's no sign of those pointed teeth and she arguably looks more like a traditional Sith warrior.

Perhaps this is what would have happened had Emperor Palpatine possessed his granddaughter? That was the iconic villain's grand plan in the movie, but he was, of course, defeated by the combined might of Rey and Ben Solo. What do you guys think of this take on the villainous Rey?

For all the nerd rage about it, I still like Rey as a Palpatine and I totally dig her choosing the legacy of Skywalker over it.

Now that I've said the unthinkable, I'll sign off. Gotta go do a medical thing, wish me luck, folks.

Rey should have turned to the darkside and joined forces with Kylo Ren after they killed Snooke in The Last Jedi.

@CaptainJCipher - Too bad it ain't canon, lol

But I love the idea of a duel in a rainstorm

@CaptainJCipher - Actually now that I think about it, at least some version of that fight must be canon. Because Anakin needs to get that scar from Ventress.

But I'll always prefer the CGI series over Clone Wars 2003. The 2003 version just seemed to be constant fighting. That was cool but I can't think of a single piece of character development in the entire series for anyone other than Anakin. And even Anakin's development didn't really give him a good reason to turn to the dark side like the 2008 series did.

What were they thinking with the shark teeth? XD
I get that the new trilogy didn't want to use them (for whatever dumb reason), but they should have just given her the yellow-red Sith eyes if they really wanted a visual indicator on her face in this scene.
