Daisy Ridley Is Returning To Play Rey In The Star Wars Universe, But There’s Allegedly Debate On How This Will Actually Happen

by

As a gamer who has journeyed through galaxies far, far away with the Star Wars franchise since the days of A New Hope, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation and intrigue when it comes to the future of Rey. With her being the most valuable cinematic asset Star Wars currently has, it seems like she is poised to continue her epic saga beyond The Rise of Skywalker.

2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” concluded the epic Skywalker Saga that began with 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope,” but that doesn’t mean we’ve said goodbye to the characters from the Sequel Trilogy forever. For more than a year and a half, I’ve been eagerly awaiting Daisy Ridley‘s return as Rey in the upcoming “Star Wars” movie directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. However, recent reports suggest that there might be some disagreements at Lucasfilm about where we’ll see Rey again next. Additionally, it was also reported last week that Simon Kinberg is set to produce a trilogy of “Star Wars” movies.

As a gamer, I’m excitedly waiting to learn more about the upcoming “Star Wars” movies from Kinberg. It’s still unclear if these films will continue the story after “The Rise of Skywalker” or be standalone projects, but according to THR, the availability of Rey, my favorite character played by Daisy Ridley, seems to be a major factor in this decision. The outlet suggests that Rey is crucial for the future direction of the franchise, which could potentially conflict with Obaid-Chinoy’s plans for her solo movie. Although sources close to THR deny there’s a struggle over Rey, they did mention there are ongoing discussions about how best to develop her character next. One insider even said: “There’s internal deliberation about what’s next for Rey.

She is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now.

It’s important to note that while the series featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu is slated for release in May 2026, these characters hail from the television world. The Mandalorian, being the first in Disney+’s exclusive Star Wars programming on the platform, sets the stage. It’s yet to be determined if they’ll also succeed on the big screen, but Rey has already built a significant following due to her appearances in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. With many classic Star Wars characters having passed post-The Rise of Skywalker, Rey stands as one of the most prominent figures within the franchise, with another source commenting that “the wardrobe is a bit sparse.

The article hints that character Rey could appear in multiple upcoming films, although the specific titles remain uncertain. This scenario allows for the possibility of both Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film and Simon Kinberg’s trilogy to involve her, or it might refer to projects being developed by directors like Taika Waititi and Shawn Levy. As for Obaid-Chinoy’s movie, it is set 15 years after “The Rise of Skywalker” and focuses on the formation of the New Jedi Order. However, Steven Knight, who replaced Damon Lindelof as scriptwriter, recently left the project, and a new writer is currently being sought.
