It seems like Rey’s character from Star Wars was Reybecca’s inspiration for her Reddit username, too. The image was shared by her along with the caption, “The origin story of my username, Rey.” She shares more personal photographs on her Instagram account, which is linked to her Reddit profile, and her real name is Rebecca Jongkees.

In the cosplay, Reybecca has nailed Rey’s look from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, complete with the robe-like vest, off-white tunic, and arm wraps. She is even seen holding a bag that hangs over her hip with the help of a brown belt, similar to the one Rey wears. Keep in mind this is the look from The Force Awakens when Rey is seen as a simple scavenger. Her look changes over the course of the trilogy as her journey takes her deeper into the world of the First Order.
Her outfits transform based on the stage of the journey that she is in. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rey is seen discovering her power and embracing the force, which seems to be a part of the life of a Jedi. As she struggles between the light and dark, her clothing becomes greyer. In The Rise of Skywalker, Rey truly embraces her role as a Jedi and her clothes change accordingly. She essentially goes back to wearing her original costume, albeit in all white. She still retains the belt, which she uses as a gun holster, the brown braces around her wrists, and the boots.
Rey first appeared in the first installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. Portrayed by Ridley, Rey was shown to be a scavenger residing on the planet Jakku. She later gets involved in the Resistance’s conflict with the First Order and meets several interesting characters along the way.
Towards the end of the trilogy, it is revealed that Emperor Palpatine was in fact Rey’s grandfather. But, in 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey adopts the surname Skywalker to honor her mentors Luke and General Leia.
The Star Wars films are now available to stream on Disney Plus.
