Part 3/10:
One of the most discussed rumors involves Daisy Ridley's character, Ray. Reports suggest that Ridley may reprise her role as Ray, but in a new capacity—as the Obi-Wan figure of the new trilogy. This could mean Ray becomes a mentor to new protagonists, echoing Obi-Wan Kenobi's role in the prequel and original trilogies.
Insider sources from Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter paint a picture of a trilogy that aims to distance itself from the previous saga, rather than continue it. There’s speculation that Ridley's Ray could be reintroduced not as a continuation of her previous story but as part of a fresh saga, possibly with cameos or references to old characters, though not necessarily as a direct sequel.
