Will Ridley return to Star Wars soon?

By: Jake Rajala

Daisy Ridley is one of the most gifted actresses. At 33, she has an infinite amount of potential. She has really dazzled in Star Wars thus far. When she chose to not sell BB-8 for a plethora of food and when she used the force against Kylo Ren, she has shown to be of high character. With that said, the question begs to ask: will Daisy Ridley return to Star Wars?

Regardless of what you think of The Sequels, there’s no denying that Daisy Ridley perfectly embodied the character of Rey.

She radiated kindness both on and off the screen, and I’ll never forgive the worst people online for causing her so much anxiety that she developed holes… https://t.co/TNqdHyWjBl pic.twitter.com/8eoVJZbyMX

The Star Wars celebration in 2023 confirmed her return to the Star Wars franchise.

Disney has announced that Ridley will return. However, it may be a few years. According to “Parade”, the new Rey movie will return in 2027 or 2028. The film is called, “Star Wars: A New Jedi Order”. As noted in the Parade article, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” will hit theaters in 2026, and “Star Wars: Starfighter” will be on the big screen in 2027.

She is one of the most down-to-earth and reliable characters, similar to Luke Skywalker. There just isn’t a chance she will turn to the dark side, even if Kylo Ren tries very hard to do so. I would love to see her in deep love with another character, just as Han Solo and Princess Leia were.

Rey is one of the most beloved Star Wars characters. Her passion is affectionate. It’s also hard to not love John Williams’s score, “Rey theme” of her in “The Force Awakens”. Rey is one of the best characters and it would be a massive mistake to not have her lead in a film. I look nothing but of sincere interest in seeing her in a couple of years (which is too long away for me).
