Top 5 Rey moments in New Timeline

While I have portrayed Rey as darker than canon, I also wanted to give her some good moments. Below are her 5 best ones (In my opinion)

5. Defeating Von

Von was a Knight or Ren, sent to Earth by Kylo. He was secretly DJ. Rey fought and bested him in a saber duel, and then allowed Rose to finish him off.

4. Defeating the Dread Knight

The Dread Knight was one of the first high-level demons, who had a red blade in each arm and was nearly unstoppable. Able to smash crystals and people with ease, the knight had also a mind sharp as his laser blades. Rey used the Dark Side, however, and managed to kill the armored menace fairly.

3. Curing Virago

Rey might be cruel to those opposing her, even murdering abusers en masse, but she also manages to make friends with her humanity. An example is when she meets a fan of hers, Virago, who was diagnosed of PCOS and struggled to even move. Virago understood what Rey was going through and Rey also believed in her. In the end, Rey Force Healed Virago, allowing her to become her own hero.

2. Defeating the Hatemonger

Rey confronted an undead Adolf Hitler, who was also physically powerful, as he could use the Dark Side, including a red saber and Force Lightning, and even toxic gas from his mouth. He managed to injure her and spewed a lot of sexist comments, but Rey managed to brutally finish him off in the end, even saving her troops by outsmarting him.

1. Washing her mouth with mud

Rey had been a victim of an imprint, also known as Dyad. Through it the Darkness was slowly taking her over, but she was barely fighting it off. In the end, she showed signs of submission when she kissed the man connected through the imprint, in spite of the way he abused, degraded, manipulated and gaslit her, and isolated herself from her friends.

However, with Ben's sacrifice and Finn leaving her in anger, the imprint started losing its power and she became more and more aware of her actions. She washed her mouth with mud, regretting ever kissing the man who hurt her the most, rejected her Palpatine lineage and went after her friends, but also revenge against those behind the imprint.
