    "I have a reputation in Niima Outpost for being willing to use my staff, which keeps most of the riffraff from bothering me."
    ―Rey[7]

    The scavenger Rey owned a quarterstaff which she salvaged from the wreckage that littered the desert wastes following the Battle of Jakku. She used it for much of her life as a tool of scavenging and also for defense. These skills later proved useful when she used a lightsaber against Kylo Ren during the Battle of Starkiller Base.[1]

    Eventually, Rey disassembled the staff, using various parts from it to create her own lightsaber.[4]

    Description

    The quarterstaff had a sling allowing Rey to sling the staff over her shoulder while she was climbing or clip it securely to her speeder. A handhold made from scraps of an old uniform gave it a secure and comfortable grip.[2]

    History

    Rey multi-layered
    Rey with her staff

    Rey used her quarterstaff for a variety of purposes. It served as a trusty walking stick, ideal for testing the sands of Jakku for instability and for searching for things buried beneath. It also could be used as a weapon against bandits and thugs,[2] such as Teedo.[5]

    The skills Rey gained while using her quarterstaff later helped her wield a lightsaber.[1] However, she was so effective with the staff that she continued to use it after acquiring the legendary Skywalker saber.[2]

    After the defeat of the First Order during the Battle of Exegol, Rey disassembled the staff, using various parts from it to create her own lightsaber.[4]


    Behind the scenes

    Rey's staff first appeared in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, the first installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.[5]

    The prop was originally larger, but it was scanned by the model makers and then 3D-printed at its new size for use in the film.[8] The lightweight action version of the staff was made from lightweight rigid polyfoam and polyurethane finished in a dark metallic hue with added textured cloth wraps and embelishments. It measured seventy-two inches long and 2.5 inches wide. It had a web strap affixed using leather cuffs and lobster clasps.[9]
