If Rey Skywalker isn’t the lead of Star Wars’ New Jedi Order movie, the franchise would be failing her character. Daisy Ridley’s Rey was first introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as a lonely scavenger on the planet Jakku. Over the course of the sequel trilogy, Rey discovered her connection with the Force, fought the First Order, and even defeated Emperor Palpatine once and for all.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A current rumor concerning Star Wars’ New Jedi Order movie suggests that Rey isn’t the lead character of the upcoming film after all, despite the premise presumably being built around her newly reimagined Jedi Order. The movie, which will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chino, is set 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Rey Not Leading The New Jedi Order Movie Would Insult The Character The story told throughout the Star Wars sequel trilogy was never really Rey’s own. Yes, those movies included her development and training to become a Jedi, but the villains she was fighting and the struggles she was facing were all remnants of a different era, a continuation of somebody else’s narrative.
But if Rey isn’t the leading character, then that opportunity is taken away from her, leaving her character to remain in the shadows of giants, forever. One could argue that Rey dismissed Palpatine’s heritage of her own accord and chose the Skywalker name for herself and that those were character-defining moments, and they would be right. But even those massive moments are still tied to the legacies of other characters.
How Rey's New Jedi Order Movie Can Finally Do Justice To The New Skywalker Building a new Jedi Order should be Rey’s major moment.
