The new StarWars sequel movie, starring Daisy Ridley as Rey, will feature the Jedi in disarray, says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
Among the blockbuster announcements from this weekend's Star Wars Celebration Europe event, held in London, was the stunning news that Daisy Ridley, the star of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, would be returning to the franchise and reprising her role as Rey Skywalker. Ridley was announced to a thunderous ovation inside the ExCel Centre as she made her way on to the Celebration Stage at the tail end of the showcase.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "Well we’re 15 years out from ‘Rise of Skywalker,’ so we’re post-war, post-First Order, and the Jedi are in disarray. 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.
Star Wars creative force Jon Favreau — who is leading the charge along with Dave Filoni on Disney+ — also noted his joy at seeing Ridley return to the franchise. “It’s just exciting,” Favreau said. “I always find it really satisfying, encouraging when you have people who come through ‘Star Wars,’ come back to ‘Star Wars.’ It shows you how strong that community is and how big of a bond you develop.
