Like seriously, if Rey is okay picking a family name she isn't related to, why didn't she just *do* that? Why didn't she *already* call herself Rey Skywalker since Luke was her hero? Why didn't she pick Solo after Han died?

I know it's supposed to be that she was fine with no surname until she learned she was a Palpatine, but like... Why not just stay with one name if that bothers you? I'm not going to add an extra non-Hitler name to my name if I find out Hitler is a secret relative

the class implications make me pretty uncomfortable Rey takes a last name because only peasants have just a given name and she's obviously too important for that

Yeah, agreed. And it's a strangely retro idea anyway, for a Star Wars space thing. This isn't Game of Thrones.

And it doesn't really hold up; why did Shmi Skywalker have a last name? Unless she's actually Rey in a Ronbledore-style time-loop.

She wasn't born a slave.

Slaves on Tatooine had family names - Anakin was born a slave and has a surname Rey has no surname because Jakku is such a wasteland she had no community or society to speak of at all when she was growing up (which is not universally true even of people who are enslaved)
