STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Concept Art Shows Rey Facing Tusken Raiders On Tatooine

In a possible throwback to Attack of the Clones, this concept art from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker shows Rey arriving on Tatooine, only to find herself face to face with some Tusken Raiders...

At the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey arrives on Tatooine and buries Luke and Leia's lightsabers before declaring herself "Rey Skywalker" to a random passerby. It was a divisive moment among fans, and one which is bound to generate discussion for years to come... especially since Rey is actually a Palpatine! 

Regardless, thanks to Lucasfilm's Phil Szostak, we can now see how an alternate take on Rey's arrival on Tatooine would have played out.

As you can see, she arrives at the old Lars Homestead to learn that Tusken Raiders are salvaging for scrap, and a simple ignition of her lightsaber is all it takes to scare the Sand People away. 

Have they heard tales of the Jedi who killed dozens of them once upon a time? It's certainly possible, and showing how differently Rey deals with them compared to Anakin Skywalker creates an interesting contrast in their actions. Of course, the circumstances were quite a bit different in Attack of the Clones.

Check out this newly revealed concept art from The Rise of Skywalker below:

But why go to Tatooine in the first place? I can imagine that both Anakin and Luke have terrible memories of that place

Also, would Rey have met not just the men, but the women and the children too?

Of course. J.J. would. This is exactly why he's a hack.

Sand People are easily startled, but they will return, and in greater numbers.

I would have loved if they skipped forward a few years and had Rey building a new temple on Tatooine, starting the Order anew. Makes 0 sense as to why she would bury them there, but a lot of stuff in TROS makes 0 sense

It would have been a pointless scene because Rey is never in any real danger.

There is never any stakes in Disney Palpatine trilogy.

Anakin & his lightsaber rampage likely became a cuco-type story they tell children to scare them. Seeing a flipping lightsaber ignite will remind them of that scary story, making them run away. XD

Any chance The Mandalorion can time jump to events after Rise Of Palpatine, I mean Skywalker and kill Rey Palpatine.
