Rey’s Jedi Order: The Key to Reviving Leia’s Legacy in Star Wars!

by

In a future Star Wars film, tentatively titled “New Jedi Order,” Leia Organa may receive a long-awaited legacy. Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in another upcoming movie. Although the title of this movie has not yet been officially announced, the New Jedi Order story is expected to unfold 15 years after “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” with Rey leading a new group of Force-wielding warriors, similar to those from the prequels.

At present, it’s undetermined who else might join Rey’s Jedi Order or even be part of it, but it has been verified that the film is still in production during Star Wars Celebration 2025. Even though stories like “The Mandalorian and Grogu” and “Star Wars: Starfighter” are set for immediate release, fans remain captivated by the prospect of continuing the Skywalker legacy on the big screen through Rey. In the absence of any information so far in the Star Wars canon, the story of one particular Skywalker, Leia, could be a central theme in Rey’s journey.

The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Left Leia Without A Legacy

Everything Once Linked To Leia Is Gone

In the original Star Wars trilogy, Leia played a crucial role, but unfortunately, she didn’t leave behind a lasting impact in the sequels produced by Disney. Originally, George Lucas intended to unveil that Leia was the true Chosen One of the Force, not Anakin Skywalker. However, this wasn’t the case in the subsequent Star Wars films, leaving her character somewhat underserved. Although she had a larger part in The Last Jedi and her posthumous role was treated with due respect in The Rise of Skywalker, her legacy seems to have been erased.

Indeed, Alderaan was Leia’s home planet, tragically obliterated in the original trilogy. However, the sequels provided a means for her to carry on her legacy, which could have been through the New Republic, but unfortunately, it was annihilated by the First Order. Her spouse, Han Solo, might have preserved her memory had he not perished. The movie “The Rise of Skywalker” showed both Leia and her son Ben Solo, who is none other than Han’s son, departing into the Force, leaving behind few tangible links to a significant figure in the Star Wars Skywalker dynasty.

Rey Has Become Leia’s Apprentice, Not Just Luke’s

Rey Learned More From Leia Than She Ever Did From Luke

In summary, it is plausible to consider Rey Skywalker as a continuation of Leia Organa’s legacy, given that the sequel trilogy depicts her training under Leia for an extended period compared to her brief time with Luke, and her Jedi robes being inspired by Alderaanian designs. Moreover, in “The Rise of Skywalker,” we witness Rey burying Leia’s lightsaber alongside those of Luke and Anakin, which further emphasizes their connection. Ultimately, these details suggest that Rey served as Leia’s apprentice to an equal or even greater extent than she did under Luke.

Rey’s New Jedi Order Is Leia’s True Legacy

Leia Can Live On In The New Generation Of Jedi

Through Leia’s influence on Rey, her upcoming Jedi Order might truly represent Leia’s lasting legacy. Of course, Rey will be motivated by Luke in re-establishing the Jedi, but it was Leia who significantly shaped Rey’s personal Jedi path. Consequently, Rey could strive to acknowledge Leia as equally important as Luke within the new Jedi Order she cultivates. The specific ways Rey may pay tribute to Princess Leia Organa are yet to be revealed in Star Wars: New Jedi Order, but it would be a fitting homage to her memory.
