## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **The Force**: As the granddaughter of Sheev Palpatine, Rey is very powerful and has a very strong connection to the Force, described by Kylo Ren as stronger than she realizes. However, until learning from Luke, she had received very little training and depends mostly on skills she learned before she knew she was Force-sensitive or watched someone else use the Force. Although Rey is not quite as powerful as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and her paternal grandfather respectively; at their peaks, she is still an exceptionally powerful Force-user. Rey's force powers is rivaled only by Ben Solo at his peak, despite the latter being the grandson of the Chosen One, and the nephew of the leader of the New Jedi Order. According to Snoke; Rey will grow stronger with the light side of the Force. By the time of *The Rise of Skywalker*, her power with the Force was such that after only a year of training, she was able to kill her grandfather by redirecting his force lightning back at him; something that Mace Windu had also once done, but had only succeeded in scarring the Sith Master.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Rey utilizes Telekinesis either as offense or defense. Her power was shown to rival that of a weakened and injured Kylo Ren, as she could pry Luke's lightsaber out of his own telekinetic grip when he tried to summon it to his hand, causing it to fly past him and into her hand instead. Additionally, after the Battle of Crait, Rey proved capable of lifting and moving a pile of small boulders simultaneously without much effort to open a passageway out of a cave for the Resistance. After a year of training with Leia on Anjan Kloss, Rey was able to levitate both herself and large piles of stones high in the air.
		- **Force Push**: Rey utilizes Force push to send her opponents as well as others flying through the air, causing them serious injury or temporarily incapacitating them/knocking them unconscious. She did this with Finn to keep him away from her fight with Kylo Ren.
		- **Force Pull**: Rey utilizes Force pull to pull her opponents or objects towards her.
		- **Saber Throw**: Rey utilizes Saber throw to telekinetically guide her lightsaber towards her opponents; similar to a boomerang or shuriken.
	+ **Telepathy**: Rey utilizes Telepathy to mentally communicate over small or vast distances with other individuals, especially Ren, due to their Force bond.
		- **Mind Probe**: Rey utilizes Mind probe to sift through the thoughts of a sentient being. She was able to resist Kylo's attempt to probe her mind for the map to Luke Skywalker's location, and even turned his attack back on him to discover his own fears of inadequacy in the shadow of Vader.
		- **Mind Trick**: Rey utilizes Mind Trick to control the minds of other sentient beings, however, it doesn't work on individuals who have very strong will. It took her three tries to master it, as she used it on a Stormtrooper. She has since become exceedingly proficient with this power.
	+ **Taming Beasts**: Rey utilizes Taming beasts to control the minds of other animals. Using her ability to heal others, Rey was able to tame a vexis snake.
	+ **Force Vision**: Rey utilizes Force vision to have visions of the past, present, and future; however, like all Force-users, her visions are not always clear or sometimes has visions even when she is not utilizing this power at will. It is also possible that some visions, like the one resulting from when she touched Anakin Skywalker's Lightsaber, are the result of Psychometry, another Force power that allows the wielder to see and discern information about people, events, and places by touching objects people carried.
	+ **Force Sense**: Rey utilizes Force sense to sense another sentient being's emotions, the future, ripples in the Force caused by momentous or traumatic events, or impending danger and the presence of the dark side. She learned this when Kylo attempted to use it against her.
	+ **Force Healing**: Rey utilizes Force Healing, to heal herself or other sentient beings. Using this ability, she was able to heal Ben Solo of a mortal wound she herself inflicted. She also used this ability on a vexis snake.
	+ **Force Jump**: Rey utilizes Force Jump to jump or leap at great distances. She performed this ability twice on at least two separate occasions; once while dodging Ren's fighter and during her battle with Ren.
	+ **Battle Meditation**: Rey utilized Battle meditation, allowing her to renew her morale, stamina, and overall battle prowess. This allowed her to defeat the more skilled, yet injured, Kylo Ren in battle by meditating on the Force as Maz Kanata taught her.
	+ **Fold Space**: Rey utilizes Force Space to bend space to instantly transport an object or herself between places. She used this ability to send one of her lightsabers to Ben Solo.
	+ **Force Lightning**: Rey is able to use Force Lightning, but she has no control over it. Rey accidentally used this power to destroy a First Order transport. After experiencing this power and believing that she killed Chewbacca with it, Rey never used it again.

### Abilities

* **Lightsaber Skills**: Despite initially having no training, Rey has some skills in lightsaber combat and is a very gifted duelist. Rey was able to defeat the Dark Jedi Kylo Ren, despite the latter being far more skilled and experience in lightsaber combat then she is. She was able to overpower him after meditating on the Force as Maz Kanata taught her. However, it should also be noted that Ren had already been wounded by Chewbacca and Finn respectively, and thus was not at the peak of his strength. Despite Rey's short time training with Luke, she improved enough that she was able to fight Snoke's Praetorian Guards on even terms alongside Ren and eventually with his aid, have overpower and kill the eight deadly warriors; despite the two lightsaber duelists being outnumbered. As of *The Rise of Skywalker*, Rey's skills in lightsaber combat had greatly improved to the point, that she could fight on par against Kylo, but was ultimately no match for him, as the Dark Jedi eventually overpowered her; which was demonstrated during their confrontation on Kef Bir, although she did manage to mortally wound him before he had a chance to strike a fatal blow; however, this was because of the fact that Ren's mother, Leia Organa was telepathy communicating with her son (as she was attempting to reach out to his inner goodness) thus distracting him, and as a result, he accidentally dropped his cross-guard lightsaber, giving Rey enough time to impale the Dark Jedi with his own lightsaber. Rey was also able to Deflect Palpatine's Force Lightning on the Planet Exegol, causing his death.
* **Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Rey is skilled in unarmed combat.
* **Skilled Staff Fighter**:' Rey is skilled in staff fighting, having used her staff for much of her life.
* **Skilled Markswoman**: Rey is skilled in utilizing blaster pistols.
* **Master Pilot**: Rey is highly skilled in piloting various speeders and every type of flight craft.
* **Master Engineer**: As a scavenger, Rey has a good understanding of engineering and the things she collects. She has knowledge about multiple different machines and ships, which proves useful when she accidentally comes into possession of the *Millennium Falcon*. She knew how to work a ship's computer and circuitry systems, which allowed her to prevent the *Millennium Falcon* from breaking apart by removing one of the ship's circuits.
* **Multilingualism**: Rey is capable of fluently speaking Basic, Shyriiwook, and Binary.
