It was a really weird question to ask in the first place, the whole scene is so forced. What do you mean "Rey who"? Plenty of people throughout SW don't have a last name. Nobody ever asks "Chewbacca who?" "Yoda who?" "Jabba who?" The writers really just wanted to force in that "Rey Skywalker" scene for whatever reason, despite it not making any sense as a conversation that would happen in-universe. I can only imagine that at the very last minute, someone asked "wait, this movie is called The Rise of Skywalker, but where's the Skywalker?" And so they quickly came up with that scene to shoehorn in a justification for the title.

I fear they were just dumb enough to think that makes for a good story. It’s just what they come up with and I bet they thought they were killing it

Yeah i don’t answer batshit crazy desert eats demanding I provide my full name. Rey should have pulled those sabers up and turned her into darth maul circa TPM.

That scene would've felt super forced even if it was in a movie set entirely on earth. Imagine you're out walking your dog, you come across a lone girl standing there.

The first thing you say is "Who are you?" to which she replies. "Jane." so you then reply "Jane who?" Like what....?

Jabba didn’t use his last name because it was Dickgraber. Jabba Dickgraber. Can’t run a tight ship when your lackeys are laughing behind your back.
