As you might expect from the ninth entry in a franchise spanning forty-plus years, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is jam-packed with Easter eggs, inside jokes, and winking call-outs for true believers. But one of these moments is more jam-packed than the rest. And comes, in fact, at a pivotal time for Rey's (Daisy Ridley) journey. So if you've already seen the film and want to know exactly who those voices were near the end, read on and find out their identity. But if you haven't seen it yet, maybe steer clear, as we'll be discussing heavy spoilers from here on out. You've been warned!

Okay, so, Rey is in battle with her newly discovered Grandpa, Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), and things ain't looking so good. She's down and out -- literally, like, on the ground -- and Palpatine is zapping away everybody with his damn Force lightning fingertips. How can Rey summon the strength to win this most important contest? With a little help from her friends, of course. Namely -- the voices of countless Jedi before her rising into the film's soundscape, encouraging her to rise and fulfill her light side destiny. It's an inspiring, triumphant moment -- one that underlines the lovely Star Wars theme of strength coming not in isolation but in numbers.

But, still: Who, exactly, were those countless Jedi whispering inspirational platitudes in Rey's ear? Some of them you likely recognized immediately, while others probably gave you pause. Now, without further ado, here is the complete list of Jedi that spoke to Rey in this pivotal moment: with some surprising deep cuts included, too.

Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen)

Sorry, prequel haters: Hayden Christensen is here to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker -- aka Darth Vader, aka Luke and Leia's dad, aka Kylo Ren/Ben's grandfather. His appearance in this melange of Jedi voices implies that, despite his evil deeds as Vader, Anakin's redemption in Return of the Jedi took, and he's all about the light side after shuffling off this mortal coil. The last time Christensen appeared properly onscreen as Anakin was in Revenge of the Sith -- unless you count his Special Edition addition as a Force ghost in Return of the Jedi.

Luminara Unduli (Olivia d'Abo)

While we first see her in the prequel trilogy played by Mary Oyaya in Attack of the Clones and Fay David in Revenge of the Sith, Jedi master Luminara Unduli is best known as being voiced by Olivia d'Abo in the acclaimed Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series. d'Abo played the role in seven episodes of the series, plus the 2009 video game Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes.

Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein)

Introduced in the animated Clone Wars film and subsequent TV series, Ahsoka Tano was initially the Padawan apprentice to Anakin, before finding life as perhaps the central force of the show. She is an important step toward positive female representation in the Star Wars universe -- just like Rey, who she's speaking to. Throughout the Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels series, and this Rise of Skywalker cameo, she's voiced by Ashley Eckstein.

Aayla Secura (Jennifer Hale)

Another Jedi originally introduced in the prequel trilogy (as played by Amy Allen), Aayla Secura was voiced by Jennifer Hale in the Clone Wars TV series for three episodes. Hale returns to voice the character briefly in Rise of the Skywalker.

Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson)

Disney loves them some Samuel L. Jackson. Before he began appearing in every dang MCU film as Nick Fury, George Lucas cast Jackson (in the pre-Disney merger days, it must be said) as Mace Windu, the instantly iconic Jedi who turned heads in the prequel trilogy with his cooler-than-cool purple lightsaber. After the character's death in Revenge of the Sith, Jackson reprised the role in The Clone Wars film, before Terrence C. Carson picked up the character in The Clone Wars series. Jackson returned for the brief Rise of Skywalker cameo.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness)

The first ever Jedi master portrayed on screen in a Star Wars film, Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the franchise's most iconic, indelible characters, representing equal parts stoic wisdom and heart-forward ingenuity. He was played by Sir Alec Guinness in the original trilogy, and Ewan McGregor in the prequel trilogy. In Rise of the Skywalker, the majority of Obi-Wan's words heard are spoken by McGregor (perhaps during an ADR break on his upcoming Disney+ show?) -- with the exception of one. "Rey," perhaps the most important word Obi-Wan says, is in fact taken from an audio clip spoken by the late Guinness during his original performance as the Jedi.

Yoda (Frank Oz)

Originally appearing in The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda is one of the most well-known, beloved Star Wars characters -- so much so that the most successful character on spin-off series The Mandalorian is literally referred to as "Baby Yoda." He's a muckraking, green, Jedi-training machine who teaches Luke in several films (including the for-some-reason divisive The Last Jedi) not to judge books by covers. When you heard original puppeteer/voice artist Frank Oz return to the role briefly in this cameo, you got chills. Admit it.

Adi Gallia (Angelique Perrin)

Originally appearing in The Phantom Menace as being played by Gin Clarke, Jedi master Adi Gallia later played a bigger role in The Clone Wars TV series. She was voiced by Angelique Perrin, who also reprised the role in this Rise of Skywalker cameo.

Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.)

One of the main characters on the Star Wars Rebels TV show, Kanan Jarrus is a Jedi that feels more Han Solo than Luke Skywalker. He's a bit, pardon the pun, rebellious, a looser cannon than many of the austere Jedi around him. He's voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr., who returned to the role for this brief cameo.

Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson)

Introduced (and killed!) in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn was Obi-Wan Kenobi's mentor, and frankly, the guy who got us into this whole mess. He's the one who picked out a young Anakin Skywalker as being worth training, don'tcha know. Without him, there's no Vader, no Rey, no Star Wars, no nothing. Thus, it's only right that Liam Neeson returns to give his Force blessing upon Rey in her time of need.
