Rey experienced visions where she succumbed to the influence of the dark side and ascended to the Sith throne.
Empress denoted the position of a female sovereign. The blue-skinned Anselmi established their own empire on Glee Anselm, governed by an empress, millennia before the demise of the Galactic Republic. During Palpatine's reign as Galactic Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Empress Leeya oversaw the Regency Worlds. Subsequently, Palpatine, exposing himself as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, implored his granddaughter, the Jedi Padawan Rey, to yield to the dark side by ending his life and seizing the Throne of the Sith as Empress. The Sith Lord, channeling his predecessors, aimed to transfer his essence into Rey's being and dominate her, but she avowed her identity as a Jedi and ultimately triumphed over Sidious.
