Daisy Ridley is returning as Rey for Star Wars: New Jedi Order. Here are five challenges Rey’s new Star Wars film will have to overcome.
Star Wars: New Jedi Order, Rey’s new Star Wars movie, has a few challenges to overcome. Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film, which is expected to premiere in 2025. New Jedi Order will take place 15 years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and will see Rey forming a new Jedi Order.
The Star Wars sequels did not end on a high note. Therefore, having the next Star Wars movie directly continue the events of The Rise of Skywalker is risky. More specifically, some of the decisions made in The Rise of Skywalker can make a new Rey Star Wars story sound less exciting than it should be. For example, the Rey Palpatine twist undid a lot of what The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi had done for the character.
Rey’s final scene in The Rise of Skywalker can be considered a second lineage retcon. In addition to being a Palpatine, Rey was now also a Skywalker. Rey taking the Skywalker name after training with Leia and Luke was an interesting concept, but the execution was flawed. By revisiting Rey’s story shortly after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars risks yet another Rey retcon. It is unlikely that Star Wars goes back on Rey being a Palpatine.
Return of the Jedi, meaning that it was 32 years in the making. That level of anticipation leading up to Star Wars’ return is one of the reasons why The Force Awakens’ box office was so impressive. Previously, Star Wars:Episode I - The Phantom Menace, the first theatrical Star Wars film since 1983, had experienced a similar scenario. Rey’s Star Wars movie will not get to replicate this phenomenon, as it will release relatively close to The Rise of Skywalker.
