Part 3/8:
A major announcement confirmed that Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey in a new film set approximately 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker. The story will focus on Rey’s efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order, a task once associated with Luke Skywalker in the expanded universe before Disney’s acquisition. This move appears to directly confront ongoing fan debates about the fate of the sequel trilogy, with some speculating Disney might reboot or retcon those films. Instead, this new film seems to position Rey as the central figure in continuing her Jedi journey, effectively doubling down on the sequel-era characters and storylines.
