This is so insulting to Rey. There was a whole trilogy about her, but all anyone ever wants to talk about are the Skywalkers.
The Palpatines deserve respect, too.
Thanks for the info, but this is still a pretty good deal for those that may have missed the Christmas sale.

Sorry, but you don't just get to appropriate someone else's name and legacy like that.
In addition, they made a big deal of Leia telling Rey to "never be afraid of who you are" in the last movie. It was the last conversation the two had and it was supposed to be a big emotional moment. So what does Rey do the first chance she gets? She tries to discard who she is, and her family legacy in favor of the "cool" family.
Lame.

Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Now, if Anakin decided that he wanted to be called Anakin Windu, that would be analogous.
And, given Leia's speech to her about never being afraid of who she was, it would have made more sense to try and use the Palpatine name for good. To show that it doesn't matter where you come from or what your ancestors did, it's about what YOU do. But that would have taken time and effort.

And the issue isn't whether she would need someone's permission to become a Skywalker (and who would she even ask, since by then all the actual Skywalkers have been killed off). The issue is that she has no real connection to the Skywalkers. There's one year between the time she meets Leia in TFA and Leia's death. She spent even less time with Luke. So what gives her the right to claim the name Skywalker? Just because they trained her? Jedi have been training Padawans for generations. That's nothing special. It was a ham-fisted and forced attempt at passing the torch and it failed completely.
