The good news has not been long in coming at Star Wars Celebration Europe which is being held in London this weekend. And it is that in case the arrival of new titles were not exciting enough for the attendees, the main stage has witnessed the announcement of the Daisy Ridley returns to Star Wars with a movie in which Rey will found a New Jedi Order.

“I imagine a lot of people in this room are waiting to hear us say something about what we’re doing with the Star Wars movies.“, announced the almighty Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm’s Studio Showcase, the panel in which new details about all the Star Wars series in production and these new films have been revealed. “We are going to take care of that timeline by providing a rich future, expanding on the present and going deep into the past to tell our stories.”

It is this “rich future” that he will take care of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, winner of two Oscars for her documentary shorts ‘Saving Face’ (2011) and ‘A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness’ (2015), and responsible for one of the new Star Wars movies.

“I have always been drawn to the hero’s journey and the fact that the world needs so many more heroes.“, comments Obaid-Chinoy. “The shots of the heroes we see on screen are tied to real life, and I have spent much of my life meeting real heroes who are oppressed, redeemed and victorious against impossible struggles. I think that’s the heart of Star Wars, It’s what drew me to the promise of the New Jedi Order and immersing myself in a Jedi academy with a powerful Jedi master.“.

It is then when, with the nerves of the 4,500 attendees on the surface, the mysterious Jedi master made way, who, to the joy of the good people, turned out to be none other than Daisy Ridley, that is, Rey, the character whom We met in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ (JJ Abrams, 2015), we saw him grow in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ (Rian Johnson, 2017) and we said goodbye to him as we could in ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ (JJ Abrams, 2019).

“Looking to the future, 15 years after the events of ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’, Sharmeen will tell us the story of the reconstruction of the new Jedi Order and the powers it awakens.“, Kennedy has advanced about this new adventure in which Ridley will continue the path taken by Luke Skywalker who was violently eliminated because of the Knights of Ren and the insidious influence of Darth Sidious, the girl’s “grandfather”.
