I’ve rewatched the final scene of The Rise of Skywalker so many times, and one part that always hits me is when Rey lies on the ground in Exegol, completely drained, and calls out, “Be with me.” It’s one of those moments that gets better every time because you start catching all the voices of Jedi who’ve come before her.
And yeah, I get it — the scene moves fast, and it’s hard to tell exactly who’s speaking. But I went back, listened carefully, cross-checked everything, and here’s the full breakdown of which Jedi talked to Rey — and what each one actually said.
What Each Jedi Said to Rey
Here’s exactly how the Jedi voices came through to Rey during that scene on Exegol — in the order they spoke and what they said:
Obi-Wan Kenobi: “These are your final steps, Rey! Rise and take them!”
Anakin Skywalker: “Rey…”
Ahsoka Tano: “Rey…”
Kanan Jarrus: “Rey…”
Anakin Skywalker: “Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did!”
Luminara Unduli: “In the night, find the light, Rey!”
Mace Windu: “You’re not alone, Rey!”
Yoda: “Alone, never have you been!”
Qui-Gon Jinn: “Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you!”
Anakin Skywalker: “The Force surrounds you, Rey!”
Aayla Secura: “Let it guide you…”
Ahsoka Tano: “As it guided us…”
Mace Windu: “Feel the Force flowing through you, Rey!”
Anakin Skywalker: “Let it lift you!”
Adi Gallia: “Rise, Rey!”
Qui-Gon Jinn: “We stand behind you, Rey!”
Obi-Wan Kenobi: “Rey!”
Yoda: “Rise in the Force!”
Kanan Jarrus: “In the heart of a Jedi lies her strength!”
Obi-Wan Kenobi: “Rise!”
Qui-Gon Jinn: “Rise!”
Luke Skywalker: “Rey, the Force will be with you! Always!”
The Impact of The Past Jedi’s Words to Rey
What really hits me about this scene is that Rey wasn’t alone. Not really. Every Jedi who came before her — even ones she never met — answered her call. They didn’t just give her strength; they reminded her of her place in a bigger story.
When she stood up again, it wasn’t just Rey against Palpatine. It was the legacy of the Jedi, all in one moment. Their voices helped her push through the fear and pain. And that’s what gave her the power to finally bring Palpatine down.
It’s such a powerful part of the movie. Even though we don’t see the Jedi, just hearing them gives the whole finale an extra emotional punch.
