Rey Was in The Mandalorian Season 2

In the fourth episode of the mandalorian, we saw the secretive plans that the remnants of the empire were brewing up. Lab created specimens with the intent to make them force sensitive with the blood of the child, or any force user with a high midichlorian count in their blood. However, one thing many have glossed over, was this.

In a phone call with Marc the other day, we were shootin the bantha fodder talking about this and that and finally we landed on the topic of the Mando, and as we talked, he started to mention the little girl, and his theory, which actually makes a lot of sense, is that this little girl, Rey that Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau put in there, as more than just a little nod, at least, I’m theorizing on, which is the point of the channel.

Now after talking with Marc, I decided to do some number crunching, and this is when I realized something even bigger than this being Rey, Palpatine actually was cloning himself right around Revenge of the Sith. This was his way of cheating death. Rey’s dad was actually palpatine’s clone. According to the novelization of the movie, he was literally Palpatine but without the force, and just, more empathic I guess you could say. This would mean that that clone, or Rey’s dad and her mom, who looked about 30 in the flashback, would have died near the age we see this Rey look-alike here. Maybe it’s just an Easter egg, but it’s a big too obvious to be just an Easter egg.

If this is Rey, then why is she at school on Nevarro 7, and not a slave? Well, it’s because I think this might be before her parents dropped her off on Jakku to save her from Palpatine. This would mean that the palpatine clone, or Rey’s dad, would have been born 25 years before the return of the Jedi, so if the mandalorian takes place in 9 or 10 aby, I’ll say 10 because it’s season 2, and we subtract 30 years, it could be less, it could be more, then we get 23 BBY, which is one year after Revenge of the Sith which was 22 BBY, which is 22 years before battle Yavin.

This would mean that he’s been trying to cheat death through this way for all this time, and the cloning facility was constantly churning out palpatine’s until one was properly made with force powers, except this pathetic son he created, born without force powers, had to have been created near revenge of the Sith. Later it explains that he wanted a life for himself and eventually he found Rey’s mother etc and they had Rey. So I think, if the math adds up, this is actually Rey, and they were creating a Snoke type being, or at least trying to until they succeeded with the Snoke we saw, right on her planet where she was going to school. The base was blown up, and this perhaps made the Remnants of the Empire desperate to seek out the son of the useless palpatine clone, which is when her parents dropped her off on Jakku, to be found later in episode 7.

It’s a bit of number crunching, but if he wasn’t an accelerated aged clone, then it fits. So, you tell me, was this Rey, or was it someone else? Was Palpatine trying to clone himself way back since the prequels, or was this an accelerate clone?

Were the events of this episode what sped things up for Rey to be put on Jakku, or is it all a coincidence? You decide.
