Zebra named after a 'Star Wars' favorite will surely become a Jedi knight

May the Force be with this zebra.

An adorable baby Grevy's zebra is the newest addition to the Toronto Zoo, and we can already tell the Force is strong with her.

Rey, who was born in late July to parents Tori and Jake, reportedly already has a "strong and confident" personality. She's also self-sufficient — she figured out how to walk minutes after she was born.

Sounds a lot like our favorite soon-to-be Jedi.

Rey (the zebra) also has a sister named Leia, which doesn't necessarily make sense plot-wise. Still, we appreciate the nod to two of the franchise's most badass characters.

May the Force remain with Rey as she continues her quest to become the world's first zebra Jedi.

And please, don't ask her for Rogue One spoilers. She doesn't have any.
