Daisy Ridley's epic return as Rey: A new Jedi Order arises!

In an electrifying reveal that has set the Star Wars community abuzz, Daisy Ridley is poised to reprise her iconic role as Rey in a groundbreaking new chapter of the Star Wars saga. Directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and penned by Steven Knight, this yet-to-be-titled movie promises to propel the legendary franchise into an uncharted future.

As the embers of the Skywalker trilogy continue to glow, Lucasfilm's latest endeavor finds Rey at a pivotal juncture. Fifteen years after the fall of the First Order, the galaxy finds itself in a period of reconstruction and reflection. Kathleen Kennedy, the steward of the Star Wars legacy, teased at Star Wars Celebration that we're venturing into a galaxy where the Jedi are scattered and questions about their purpose and destiny abound. "Well we’re 15 years out from ‘Rise of Skywalker,’ so we’re post-war, post-First Order, and the Jedi are in disarray," Kennedy revealed. This narrative thrust aims to follow Rey as she endeavors to fulfill her promise to Luke Skywalker by rekindling the flames of the Jedi Order.

The question on every fan's lips: Will the wisdom of Luke Skywalker guide Rey on her quest? Kennedy hinted at the enduring impact of Luke's legacy, suggesting that while the story may not dwell in the past, the essence of Skywalker's teachings will significantly influence Rey's journey. "The spirit of what he represents to her is going to be significant," Kennedy affirmed, sparking speculation about how the revered Jedi's ethos will shape the new order.
