With Amy Stewart, Ben Cook, Elizabeth Saunders, Benedict Campbell. Teenagers Amanda and Josh move to a run-down industrial town where a dark secret about the local.You may be looking for other individuals with the name Rae. Rey. It is ahead. Rey grew up alone in the wastes of the desertplanet. Jakku, hoping for the day her family would return for her while honing her skills as a scavenger and a warrior. Her life changed forever when she encountered BB- 8, a Resistanceastromech droid who carried information about Skywalker's whereabouts, and a stormtrooper named Finn who defected from the First Order. They were hunted by the First Order, forcing them to escape from Jakku aboard the Millennium Falcon, eventually finding help from Han Solo and Chewbacca during their journey to the Resistance base on D'Qar. Rey was soon taken captive by the dark Force user Kylo Ren, who wanted information about Skywalker's whereabouts. During the attack on the First Order superweapon. Starkiller Base, Rey witnessed Solo's death at Ren's hands and engaged the dark warrior in lightsaber combat. Rey, an injured Finn, and Chewbacca escaped to D'Qar and learned of Skywalker's whereabouts. Rey ventured to the lost world of Ahch- To, found Skywalker, and presented him with his father's lightsaber as a sign of the only hope the galaxy had left: the return of the Jedi. She believed it was a mistake and that they would one day return to bring her home. Throughout her life on Jakku, she would sometimes see off- worlders in Niima Outpost, the chief trade outpost on the planet, who she thought might have arrived on Jakku accidentally, unaware of the harsh realities of the desert world. Rey wondered if she was left behind under similar circumstances, if her family had come to Jakku by accident and she was left behind as a result of their misfortune. She proved unwilling to admit this to herself for a long time. At first, she worked for other scavengers, bringing them the loot she found in crashed New Republic and Galactic Empire vessels that were downed during the battle. She heard local stories about what happened during the battle: that it was the last stand of the once- powerful Empire during the Galactic Civil War, that the Empire locked onto Republic ships during the fighting and dragged them down to the surface together, and more. The battle had left the ships trapped in the sand in varying conditions, and finding working parts became essential in order to earn food portions, the only thing that was up for trade in Niima Outpost. The trades were made by Plutt, who traded leftover Republic and Imperial rations in exchange for whatever Rey and other scavengers were able to recover. Rey learned that parts that could be repurposed were the most important; anything that could not be put into another ship was worthless to Plutt. Others, whose names she refused to speak, were not kind, and even viewed her as their property. As Rey's skills as a scavenger grew, she came to realize that while other scavengers needed her, she did not need them. She struck out on her own, utilizing the skills she had to scavenge and survive, but no one took her seriously at first. She was aided by Plutt himself, who told other scavengers to leave Rey alone and would send his thugs after those who did not. Rey did not want his help, and the help was not out of generosity. Rather, Rey was the best scavenger Plutt had and he wanted to continue utilizing her as a source of acquisitions. Rey gained a reputation in Niima Outpost for using herquarterstaff to defend herself, which also kept most people from bothering her—save for the occasional new scavenger who did not know about her, or were so desperate for supplies that they did not care. When she first found it, Rey did not believe that she could live there, as the Goazon Badlands where the AT- AT was located was a barren wasteland in which nothing seemed to grow. When she inspected the walker, though, she found a small greenspinebarrel flower growing out of a few millimeters of sand that had poured into the walker. Rey realized that if such a tiny flower could survive there, so could she, and that life always found a way to survive on Jakku. Rey would go on to collect flowers like that, as a reminder that beauty could be found anywhere, even on Jakku. She mostly just used one room in the walker, for a variety of reasons. She would often bring her salvages to the walker before bringing them to Plutt, as Plutt deducted portions one could receive from a salvage if they used his washing and repair stations. The walker also contained scratches she made to mark the passage of time, to remind her how far she had come and to count down the days until her family returned for her.

Outside of the walker was where she would go on to keep the speeder she built for herself, which gave her a degree of independence as she made her way back and forth from the Starship Graveyard. She enjoyed making up stories about R. She often enjoyed wearing the helmet and playing with the doll, pretending she was helping R. Together, their pretend adventures saw them find lost Rebels and return them to their ships. When Rey was older, she no longer played with the doll but kept it and the helmet, which she sometimes wore anyway, to remind her how far she had come on Jakku. Her ability to understand alien languages, including the binary language of droids, helped her when off- worlders came to Niima Outpost. Two such off- worlders were Wookiees, who regaled her with the stories of the famed Wookiee smuggler- turned- Rebel fighter Chewbacca. She learned of Chewbacca's exploits, as well as those of his friend and fellow smuggler Han Solo. Studying schematics to learn how ships worked was also an important part of her survival on Jakku. She recognized almost all of the Republic and Imperial vessels that could be found in the Graveyard, including what roles they played in combat, the types of weapons they were armed with, their models and classes, and how many crew members each one had. She learned this not just through studying schematics on her computer, but also by climbing through and exploring the ships and tinkering with their systems. This let her know what each part was, what it could do, whether it worked, and, most importantly, whether it would carry any value in Niima Outpost. Rey saw firsthand the hardship it could inflict. Rumors of an Imperial base on Carbon Ridge once compelled Plutt to mount an expedition there. Knowing her skills as a mechanic, Plutt brought Rey a flyer to fix. She did so by unclogging one of its turbojets and rebuilding the other out of scrap from the front of an airspeeder. Plutt and six of his thugs used it to try to find the rumored base, but he only returned with a collection of stormtrooper armor—and two of his men were killed. That led other scavengers to avoid Carbon Ridge. The creatures of Jakku were also dangerous. A fellow scavenger named Teng Malar once accidentally broke open a hatch on a ship beneath a colony of steelpeckers, ferocious avian creatures with razor- sharp beaks and strong talons. Within ten minutes, Teng was ripped to shreds and Rey watched helplessly as she was unable to do anything to stop the creatures. The Graveyard itself was also a reminder of the realities of war, with bodies and skeletons littering the sands. Rey once discovered a deceased TIE fighter pilot still in the cockpit of his TIE fighter ejector seat. Rey scavenged his helmet, sidearm, and comlink before giving the pilot a proper burial. The next day, after trading with Plutt for rations at the Concession Stand, she took her speeder out to the Starship Graveyard, where she decided to climb the Spike, the keel of an Imperial ship that had crashed into what would become the Crackle. From her perch, she spotted a ship that, upon closer inspection, she realized to be a reasonably intact Ghtroc 6. Realizing that the whole repaired ship was worth more to Plutt than its salvageable parts, she decided to work on it so she could sell it, discovering panels inside that she could use to hide her ship from other scavengers. As it had become dark outside, Rey opted to spend the night in the ship. Her decision to not give some parts to Plutt eventually attracted the attention of the scavengers Devi and Strunk, who asked her about it. She refused to tell them anything, and they told her that they might not have been the only ones to notice Rey's unusual behavior. After Rey explained that she was going to sell the freighter to Plutt once it was complete, Devi and Strunk brokered a deal with her: they would help her repair the ship, and they would split whatever Plutt gave them. Together the three scavengers restored the ship to working order, and Rey was able to pilot the craft over the desert with the skills she had learned from her flight simulator program. Once the ship was complete, Rey flew it to Niima Outpost with the others. However, as soon as she stepped out of it to barter with Plutt, Devi and Strunk stole the ship and fled the planet, leaving Rey with nothing to show for her work. The materials she brought him on this particular day earned her one quarter portion of food, which she brought back to her home. After eating, she heard the noises of an astromech droid and rushed to find that the source of the noise, BB- 8, had been captured by a Teedo scavenger, also named Teedo. Rey rescued the tiny droid and learned that it was on a classified mission. After some convincing by BB- 8, Rey allowed the droid to return home with her for one night, before it went on its way the next morning. He offered her one half portion for everything, a collection that Rey reminded him was worth one half portion for each item only a week before. Though Plutt was unmoved, he did offer to give her sixty portions for BB- 8. Rey was almost quick to take the offer, but she soon told Plutt that BB- 8 was not for sale. Undeterred, Plutt sent his thugs after Rey to try to take the droid by force—this proved to be useless, however, as Rey made short work of her would be attackers. Did Everything Just Change? If you thought you knew where your loyalties lied, Episode 7 of The White Princess might have left you with some major doubts. Thanks to some powerhouse performances from The White Princess cast (Jodie Comer, Jacob Collins- Levy, Patrick Gibson, and Michelle Fairley), Episode 7 proved to be one of the series’ most indelible hours. Here is Starz’s official plot description for The White Princess, Episode 7 (“Two Kings”) via The White Princess. Throughout Episode 7, Henry takes drastic measures to get “Richard” to recant. Even when Henry publically humiliates the man he believes to be an imposter by walking him through the streets, the young man does not break. Paraded barefoot and shirtless, the crowd initially begins throwing things at him, before a stirring speech by the so- called “imposter” brings them to a halt. After Lizzie’s powerful speech brought Henry’s forces back in a previous episode, it would seem The White Princess might be laying a subtle clue that such a gift runs in the York bloodlines. They continue at court, where Henry intimates he has had his way with the maybe- Richard’s wife, Cathy (a heartbreaking Amy Manson), taking her as his unwilling mistress. The declaration outrages Lizzie (Jodie Comer), who thinks it is a low blow to his opponent. She is also hurt by her husband’s possible infidelity, and his bragging about in court, an act which humiliates Lizzie herself. The White Princess never completely dispels whether Henry is lying, or ashamed to admit how low he is willing to go to drive “Richard” into submission. Mad Margaret is at again in The White Princess Episode 7. While Henry’s behavior was appalling, so was his mother, Margaret’s. After stealing away “Richard” and Cathy’s baby, Margaret insinuates to Lizzie that their son will be murdered, a prospect that sickens Lizzie. As The White Princess Episode 7 wears on, it becomes clear that Lizzie is starting to believe that Perkin Warbeck is actually her long- lost brother, Richard. When he enters court early in The White Princess Episode 7, she looks at him briefly before wistfully turning away. As he did previously, the young man shares more personal details that only Prince Richard could know, such as the name of their father’s mistress. As the seventh hour of The White Princess builds, the legitimacy of Richard’s claim strengthens. Richard stands by his claim in The White Princess Episode 7. After Richard is severely beaten by Henry, Lizzie decides to make a bold move. Clearly hoping to spare the man she believes is her brother, while also saving her husband’s claim to the throne, Lizzie sets a fire in Henry’s wardrobe. She assures them she will send their son to them when the coast is clear. When it appears Richard has accepted Lizzie’s deal. He makes an even bolder move. As Lizzie and Cathy arrive to publicly sell that Richard has died in the fire, he emerges from the flames, defiantly declaring he is the true King of England. Where The White Princess Episode 7 leaves Lizzie. Episode 7 was not a flattering hour for Lizzie. She smacks a distraught Cathy on the head and acts jealous of her husband’s possible infidelity, instead of being outraged that he has taken Cathy against her will. To Lizzie’s credit, she does attempt to save her brother and her husband. How The White Princess is starting to rival Game of Thrones. In a world without dragons and magic, and where all deaths are final, The White Princess is a dire universe to enter. Like Gameof Thrones, The White Princess features ruthless matriarchs, sibling rivalries, fraught ambitions, and brutal betrayals. As The White Princess has entered its final episodes, a true darkness has grabbed hold of it by Episode 7. As The White Princess has progressed, loyalties have been tested, and Lizzie cannot win, no matter who she sides with. Characters turning to the dark side. When you are watching Game of Thrones you seldom have to worry if its tested heroes will turn to the dark side. Lizzie’s behavior in The White Princess Episode 7 has given this viewer reason to pause. We observe him through Lizzie’s eyes. While she insists he is an imposter, those same eyes betray another truth. It is a truth that can also be seen in the expressions of Richard’s wife, Cathy, who remains devoted to him despite Henry’s calculated attempts to undermine them. History is in the eye of the beholder. The White Princess reminds us that our take on history is often informed by whose perspective we are seeing it from. Would viewers be rooting for Lizzie, if they had seen more of her brother, Richard, from the beginning? Would viewers of The White Princess be rooting for Henry, if they saw how he treated Richard’s wife behind closed doors? Would they be rooting for Lizzie and Henry to overcome this other couple, if they had seen Richard and his wife fall in love? The answer is probably not. The White Princess gives us enough insight to know that Richard is a man who is courageously devoted to his claim. We know from the crushed expression on his wife’s face that whatever happened with Henry has left her troubled. We can tell from a few fleeting moments in privacy, Richard and his wife share a loving relationship, every bit as a formidable as Lizzie and Henry’s. We also know that while Henry and Lizzie are fretting over preventing a curse that may or may not be real, Richard and his wife’s son has likely been murdered and whether they know it or not, their hope to save him is gone. There is no going back for anyone on The White Princess. Find out how it all ends when The White Princess finale airs next Sunday, June 4, at 8 p.
