Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars Return Will Find the Jedi Order ‘In Disarray’
Perhaps the biggest announcement at Star Wars Celebration was the revelation that Daisy Ridley would be returning to a galaxy far, far, away, resuming her role as Rey Skywalker.
The new film will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and written by Steven Knight.
While details on the upcoming film are still scarce, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy did reveal more information in an interview with IGN.
Return Of The Jedi Order
According to Kennedy, the film will pick up 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The story will find Rey Skywalker attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order, based on the guidance she received from Luke Skywalker.
“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 stated. “There’s a lot of discussion around, ‘Who are the Jedi? What are they doing? What’s the state of the galaxy?’ She’s attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order, based on the books, based on what she promised Luke, so that’s where we’re going.”
While Star Wars fans will certainly be thrilled to hear that the Jedi Order is being rebuilt, it seems as if it may be a rocky road back.
Will Luke Skywalker Appear?
Based on Rey’s close connection with Luke Skywalker, many fans have wondered if Mark Hamill could reprise his role in some capacity in the upcoming film.
Although Luke died at the conclusion of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, his force ghost continued to appear to Rey.
When asked if Luke could return as a Force ghost or flashback, Kennedy was non-committal.
“I don’t know if we’ll spend a lot of time in flashbacks or [on] Force ghosts or things like that, but certainly, the spirit of what he represents to her is going to be significant.”
I for one, can’t wait to see the Jedi re-emergence as a force in the galaxy. With Star Wars set to explore more eras of the galaxy’s history, it is certainly an exciting time to be a fan.
