According to reports, Rey’s return to Star Wars stopped while Lucasfilm gives priority to other projects

The Rey-Centric Star Wars The film could hit the break … again. According to the insider of the sector Daniel Richtman, the long manager New Jedi order Film, which would see Daisy Ridley resume his role of Rey under the direction of Shameen obaid-chinoyAccording to reports, he has returned waiting.

Richtman says: “Rey’s film is waiting again, how it is the Shawn Levy AND James Mangold Star Wars The films are going first. The project is not canceled, only temporarily waiting. “

This shift is not entirely unexpected. After Peaky Blinders Creator Steven Knight He came out of the project, a new writer has never been publicly confirmed. Despite that uncertainty, Lucasfilm still seemed to see the film as a priority … so far.

The state of the next Rey chapter was dark for a while. A moment is at full speed, the next is reworking behind the scenes. But don’t count Rey yet.

In fact, a report previously suggests that it still plays an important role in Lucasfilm’s long -term plans.

“Rey, the cocker transformed into Jedi played by Daisy Ridley in the last three episodes films, is the key to the next round of the franchise. Which potentially puts the development of the history of the Kinberg trilogy, at the beginning of its conceptual phases, so that it can be, on a collision route with Rey Standalone’s film that is actively in the works with the director Shameen-Chinoy.”

The relationship went even further, observing that Rey of Ridley is more than another character. According to an unnamed source: “It is the most precious cinematographic resource, in some way perhaps the only one, Star Wars It has now. “

This could explain why the producer writer Simon Kinberg ( X-Men: Dark Phoenix) According to reports, a new trilogy is developing that could present Rey in some way, although the way it connects to the new Jedi order is not yet clear.

As for Ridley herself, she spoke of her return last year in an interview with the magazine Premiere:

“They simply asked me if I wanted to do it, based on an idea, without yet writing the script. But if I had not been convinced by the concept, the film would not have been made. I took one day to think about it and I said I had great moments to make those films.

“This new adventure seemed fun to me, so why say no? My thoughts on the subject are quite simple: if I didn’t think it was worth telling, I wouldn’t have returned.”

It was said that the project was set 15 years later Skywalker’s ascentWith Rey who builds a new one Jedi order from scratch. It remains to be seen if that vision is still standing or is absorbed in another project.

For now, the wait for Rey’s return continues … again.
