Here are 4 ways Disney and Lucasfilm could bring back Daisy Ridley’s Rey to Star Wars.
Since 2019sThe Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars has been noticeably absent from movie theaters.
The franchise insteadshifted its focus to other mediums, especially television.
2023 will be no different thanks toDisney+.
However, brighter days may be ahead forLucasfilms theatrical slate.
Progression onDamon Lindelofs Star Wars film is seemingly full steam ahead.
Whether its in the Lindelof movie or not.
But how would Lucasfilm continue Rey’s story?
A new academy provides a wellspring of opportunity.
Although, Lucasfilm is starting to delve intoLukes escapades throughThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fett.
Furthermore, people are aware that Rey is not alone in the Force.
Luckily, her potential first student is also her best friend.
Many were disappointed by what became of Finn as the Sequel Trilogy went on, includingJohn Boyega.
To most, this narrative choice seems like the obvious one.
Narratively, it would make sense.
Traversing the galaxy in search of artifacts, knowledge, and temples would inform her understanding of the Force.
And consequently, her teaching.
This could be how she finds Force-sensitives and her future students as well.
Succeeding Leia as Political Leader
Rey getting involved in politics would certainly diverge from most peoples expectations.
Nonetheless, the motivation could be there.
Luke was not her only mentor.
General, formerly Princess, Leia Organa was Reys master in between the events ofEpisodes VIIIandIX.
More than that, she was Reys motherly figure and mentor.
To pay tribute to her master, Rey might let her attention remain on the galaxys political strife.
It also forces the franchise to ask important questions: are there ideological factions?
Do people want one governmental body overseeing the entire galaxy?
Do some systems want to remain independent?
Whether it be First Order remnants or crime syndicates, there would definitely be power vacuums in certain areas.
Furthermore, this would be a nice contrast to Luke from a writing perspective.
He mainly focused on building the new foundation for the Jedi Order after the Empire fell.
This could be the way Star Wars differentiates Rey from those Jedi who came before her.
In fact, the character turning bad was always a popular theory during the Sequels.
The Jedi and Sith are simply religious factions that interpret the Force in a particular way.
Ridley has also recently hyped upLeslye Headlands upcoming show,The Acolyte.
It also poses a different creative challenge for the actress.
She could leverage other facets of her acting ability that she didnt get a chance to unveil before.
There are numerous directions Lucasfilm could take when bringing Rey back into the Star Wars fold following theSequel Trilogy.
