Funnily enough, if they did then Rey Skywalker would make more sense.

I thought "Rise of Skywalker" meant Rey was going to start a NJO and call them "Skywalkers" instead of "Jedi"

Allegedly, they exist in Legends/EU. Old clan of force users named Skywalker from long before the fall of the republic, iirc

They exist in current canon too, though only in the Thrawn Ascendency novels. Chiss use force sensitives as navigators and call them Skywalkers

I seem to recall my reference being a bunch of force-pilots, so that makes sense

That’s why Thrawn thinks Anakin’s name is interesting. He also immediately pegs Vader as Anakin.

Not the topic of the post but I truly believe that Thrawn wasn’t trying to kill Ashoka and knew what her battle strategies would be based on his knowledge of Anakin/Vader.

I love this explanation because it weirdly implies that hyperdrives are, in ways that will probably have great implications for droid civil rights and their potential for force sensitivity, alive, and work by seeking other life across great distances using the force just like skywalkers and celestial animals.

It also explains why, logistically, people bump into each other so often across vast stretches of empty space.
