Post 7: Star Wars Party

The outfit I wore represents Rey at the end of the movie as she enters the Master of Both Worlds stage in her Hero’s Journey.
The outfit Rey wears at the end of the movie is similar to her outfit at the beginning. The arm braces, leggings, and tunic are very similar. However, the outfit changes throughout the movie as she goes through the Hero's Journey. Where her outfit used to be rags and loose sashes at the end her outfit is crisp and clean symbolizing her transformation from a poor orphan to Jedi-in-training and member of the Resistance.
In addition to her change of outfit, she now carries Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber. She has accepted that she has powers and needs to train to be a Jedi - a complete transformation from where she began at the beginning of the movie waiting for her parents to return.



Rey Sabe(r)s the Day: chocolate dipped pretzels representing the lightsaber she now accepts at the end of her Hero Journey.
