Bringing back Kylo Ren in Rey's new Star Wars movie through the Force Dyad is a radical but exciting concept for fans. The potential for Rey to connect with Kylo Ren in the past or bring him into the present adds an intriguing element to the storyline. While Adam Driver's involvement may be uncertain, the Force Dyad offers a unique way for Ben Solo to potentially return in the film.
Rey's new Star Wars movie could bring back Star Wars fan-favorite Kylo Ren, but, ideally, this would be done without a resurrection. There have been few updates on Daisy Ridley's return in Rey's New Jedi Order movie, but many viewers are eager for sequel trilogy cast and characters to join her. Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is enduringly popular, meaning he shouldn't be ruled out - even if he did die in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Daisy Ridley shines in the complex role of Annette, showcasing her skills as an actress with nuanced expressions and body language. Magpie cleverly uses psychological tension to build towards a twisted and enthralling finale that leaves audiences questioning every interaction. Ben's indifference, Alicia's allure, and Annette's unraveling make for an engaging and intoxicating narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Domestic thrillers can be deliciously messy, but Magpie, starring the alluring Daisy Ridley in an ambitious and delectable role, takes things to the next level. The psychological thriller is engrossing, its slow-burn buildup feeding the fire that burns brightly in an immensely satisfying final act that is equal parts chilling and petty. Magpie turns certain tropes into narrative weapons, and it works at every turn, culminating in a finale that will leave you wanting more even as it gives us a tension-fueled conclusion.

Rey must avoid Luke Skywalker's mistakes as a Jedi Master in the new Jedi Order. Rey's relationships and personal growth are crucial for her success in shaping the Jedi. New Jedi Order can redefine what it means to be a Jedi by allowing Rey to be more than "just" a Jedi.
Star Wars: New Jedi Order needs to ensure that Rey’s characterization doesn’t suffer from the same problems as Luke Skywalker did during the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Steven Knight is currently one of the busiest writers in Hollywood. He’s gearing up to start production on a new “Peaky Blinders” movie starring Cillian Murphy while also writing the upcoming “Star Wars: The New Jedi Order,” which is set to see Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey.
But before either of those projects bear fruit, fans of Knight’s writing can look forward to his new show “The Veil.” The FX on Hulu limited series stars Elisabeth Moss as a spy who finds herself caught up in a web of secrets in a globe-trotting espionage series.

Not all top duos in Star Wars are Force users or part of the Skywalker family, showcasing diverse partnerships across the franchise. Rey & Kylo's alliance in The Last Jedi, Finn & Poe's friendship in The Force Awakens, and Ezra & Sabine's bond in Rebels are standout duos. Iconic duos like Han Solo & Chewbacca, C-3Po & R2-D2, and Obi-Wan & Anakin remain fan favorites for their enduring friendships and partnerships.
Star Wars has undoubtedly had a number of incredible duos over the years, but 11 in particular stand out as the franchise's best. Because both the Jedi and the Sith follow a master and apprentice structure, Star Wars is naturally creating duos all the time. However, not all the best duos are Force users, nor are they all the Skywalker saga's heavy hitters.

The Mandalorian actor Brendan Wayne has revealed why Din Djarin opted to keep his helmet on for the entirety of the third season.
Speaking to ScreenRant, Wayne was asked why Djarin’s face wasn’t shown in season 3. “If [Din Djarin] kept his helmet off after [the season 2 finale], it cheapens what he did when he said goodbye to Grogu,” Wayne said. “When Grogu puts his hand up and says, ‘Hey, take that off, I wanna see you.’ That doesn't mean as much. It's like saying ‘I love you,’then you hear your significant other saying it to everybody, and you're like, what value does that have? That was his love letter to him.”

Batgirl was the first of Warner Bros. Discovery's series of tax write-offs. The Dcu's upcoming Batman reboot, The Brave and the Bold, will feature the Bat-Family, making Batgirl a potential player. Actresses like Saoirse Ronan, Sadie Sink, and Emma Stone are solid picks to embody Barbara Gordon in the Dcu.
Batgirl could soon be making her into the new DC Universe, and some actresses could do right by Barbara Gordon. The character almost appeared in a movie recently, with DC famously opting to cancel the fully shot Batgirl movie in order to start Warner Bros. Discovery's series of tax write-offs. According to DC Studios co-ceo Peter Safran, the movie was shot for the small screen and would have painted a bad image for DC if released, with Safran claiming it "was not releasable."

Daisy Ridley discusses the "brutal action" in her upcoming movie, Cleaner. Ridley's protagonist is put in a very Die Hard-esque situation as her character must rescue hostages from a tall building. Despite the physical demands of the role, Ridley found working with director Martin Campbell to be rewarding and thrilling, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
Daisy Ridley’s Die Hard-like film is loaded with plenty of “brutal action,” according to the famed Star Wars actress. Director Martin Campbell’s upcoming action movie, Cleaner, is set in London, and 300 hostages are being held in the tallest skyscraper in all of Western Europe: the Shard. And it’s up to John McClane — wait, scratch that. No, it falls on the shoulders of a one-time soldier turned window washer (played by Ridley) to save the day, while suspended some 90 stories in the air.

Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley has given fans a clue to the plot of the new Rey-centric film, saying that her character likely doesn’t have children as she’s committed to the Jedi Order.
Speaking with Deadline at South by Southwest film festival (SXSW), Ridley was asked if Rey will have any kids in the new movie, which is tentatively titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order. Ridley replied by saying: “I would say she probably doesn’t have children seeing she’s a Jedi.” In the prequel trilogy, the Jedi were forbidden from marrying or having children, although Anakin Skywalker broke this rule with Padme Amidala. It seems like Rey might be following the rule that the Jedi Order had imposed on its members for thousands of years.

Performing Cleaner with the Casino Royale director, she revealed, was the most strenuous, describing its Die Hard-inspired plot as "I play a window cleaner who is ex-army, knows how to use a gun. All of the useful things in an action film. I'm outside the building when a team of eco-activists storm the building, and I have to fight my way in, in tandem with the police outside, and try to find my brother, and try and save the people who have been taken hostage."

One of the breakout hits of SXSW 2024 was “Magpie,” a tense thriller that stars Daisy Ridley as a woman who begins to spiral after her young daughter is cast in a movie, and her husband becomes enamored with the actress playing her onscreen mother.
The neo-noir was a passion project for the actress and producer, who conceived the idea after forming a close bond with a child star playing her own onscreen daughter and began to imagine how a similar relationship could drive a wedge between a family. She took the idea to her husband Tom Bateman, who wrote the script that ultimately became “Magpie.” Hours after the film’s SXSW premiere, Ridley and her collaborators sat down with IndieWire to discuss crafting the film that gave her one of the meatiest roles of her career.
“I was on set for ‘The Marsh King’s Daughter,’ and I had a little girl in it.

The Walt Disney Company is giving its investors a sense of the massive profits it has made off of the Star Wars and Marvel universes since that studio and Lucasfilm became part of Disney — and it’s more than one can shake a lightsaber at.
In a presentation posted to the shareholder campaign website Vote Disney, the House of Mouse included highlights of its success with franchises as the company is waging a proxy fight with activist investor Nelson Peltz.
Corporate intrigue aside, the presentation reveals some compelling numbers on the high-profile acquisitions Disney has made over the past 15 years. In a section titled “Enduring franchises highlight our powerful IP and unique monetization capabilities,” Disney indicates that it has seen a 2.9 times and 3.3 times return on investment after purchasing Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios in 2012 and 2009, respectively.
In 2012, Disney paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm, giving Disney ownership of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises.

The upcoming Star Wars: New Jedi Order movie will explore the next generation of Jedi and their use of kyber crystals. In Legends, Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order creates their own lightsaber crystals, but this unstable process won't work for Rey's New Jedi Order. Rey's Jedi may not be able to rely on Ilum or Jedha for kyber crystals due to the Empire's destruction and mining of these planets.
The next generation of Jedi will be explored in the forthcoming Star Wars: New Jedi Order movie, whose kyber crystals may come from a world featured heavily in Star Wars Rebels. All lightsabers are powered by Force-imbued crystals which take on a specific color upon bonding with a Force user. This was also the case in the Star Wars Legends continuity, though the crystals had a specific color before being used by a Jedi or Sith. In both continuities,...

For fans anxiously awaiting Lucasfilm's next big move after the divisive "The Rise of Skywalker" brought an uncertain end to "Star Wars" on the big screen, well, this next update only kind of clears things up.
"Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins once was the subject of a breathless announcement back in December of 2020, which revealed that she would be directing a "Star Wars" film about a squadron of X-wing pilots due out by the end of 2023. That obviously didn't end up happening, probably because the title was quietly removed from the studio's release schedule after months and months without a single update. We subsequently found out Jenkins' 'Star Wars" movie had been unceremoniously shelved, possibly in response to the poor reception to "Wonder Woman 1984," but maybe that was a bit premature. In a thoroughly unexpected surprise, this latest bit of news comes not from Lucasfilm itself, but from...

Somewhere in our lives, we have all wanted to find silence, even in the midst of a noisy crowd, or yearned to enjoy solitude when an excited group of friends has made us feel suffocated. Starring Daisy Ridley, Dave Merheje, and Marcia DeBonis and directed by Rachel Lambert, Sometimes I Think About Dying is a slice-of-life film that talks about relishing silence and solitude among a group of people in a very subtle way. The film revolves around Fran Larsen, who likes to think about death, but after meeting a new coworker in her office, she struggles to communicate with him about her likes and desires. Apart from the beautiful visuals, another attraction of this film is its complicated character work. Daisy Ridley gives one of those standout performances that slowly starts to grow on you as the film progresses.

In an interview with Scripps News, Jake's mother, Lisa, revealed that Jake loved auditioning for Star Wars and did not rule out a return to the franchise for her son. "Jake loved filming Star Wars.

Rey will reinvent the Jedi in "Star Wars: New Jedi Order," but may not have children due to old Jedi teachings on attachments. Daisy Ridley said she doesn't think Rey will have children in the upcoming movie, indicating her new Order will take a similar stance on attachments as the old Order. Many viewers hoped that Rey's Order would follow in Luke Skywalker's Legends footsteps, allowing familial bonds, but she is still likely to change Jedi traditions.
Rey will be reinventing the Jedi in her next movie, Star Wars: New Jedi Order, but Daisy Ridley has hinted that one part of the Order won't change. While there are still few confirmed details about New Jedi Order, it is known that Rey will be rebuilding the Jedi Order about 15 years later in the Star Wars timeline than Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Remember when we first met Din Djarin? He swaggers into that cantina in the first episode of The Mandalorian, takes down a few ruffians, and flies off with his quarry. No mess, no pomp, no big deal.
Those days now seem long gone, as what started out as a smaller-scale Western set in the world of Star Wars, between the Original and Sequel Trilogies, has now become the hope for the future of the franchise on the big screen. The characters will now be the focus of the next Star Wars movie. Directed by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian & Grogu is currently expected to release in 2026. Does this mean we won’t be seeing the beloved duo on screen at all until then? Or will a potential season 4 of the show bridge the gap on Disney+? It’s a question that has eluded Star Wars fans since the film project was first announced.

Daisy Ridley, known best as Rey in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, has had a pretty fascinating career outside of a galaxy far, far away. From narrating documentaries to failed YA sci-fi adaptations, she's certainly spread her wings. Later this year, Ridley will get the chance to lead a straight-up action flick called "Cleaner." It sounds like a riff on "Die Hard" from director Martin Campbell, who directed two of the greatest "James Bond" movies ever made. We may not even have a trailer yet, but it sounds very much like the film is going to live up to the promise of the talent involved.
The actor was on hand at this year's SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas, to promote her new movie "Magpie." During a panel, Ridley got to talking about some of her more physically demanding roles as of late, including the upcoming Disney drama "Young Woman and the Sea.

Rey Skywalker must learn to cope with failure in the upcoming New Jedi Order movie to avoid repeating Luke's mistakes. The sequel trilogy made Rey's abilities seem too effortless, but New Jedi Order can fix this by having her struggle with teaching or losing power. Rey failing in the New Jedi Order movie will not only help her grow, but also serve as a positive example for her students to learn how to cope with failure.
There's one final Luke Skywalker lesson that Rey Skywalker hasn't mastered yet, and she needs to learn it in Star Wars: New Jedi Order. Rey learned a lot from Luke during the sequel trilogy. However, there's one lesson that he taught by example rather than words. Luke failed as a Jedi Master, and he dealt with that failure in the worst way possible. To date, Rey hasn't had the opportunity to show that she learned from Luke's failure.

While Ridley said that she’s still waiting to read a script, she did say that she knows “bit and bobs,” including that there will be “an introduction of new characters.” When asked if any previous characters would be reprising their roles, such as John Boyega as Finn or Adam Driver as the ghost of Kylo Ren, Ridley said she didn’t know. Another character who fans might expect to see is Luke Skywalker, but Mark Hamill hasn’t heard anything. “Everything is confidential,” Hamill said. “So, If I were involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. And if I were not involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. So, I don’t know.

The future of "Star Wars" is still a little murky but it is most certainly upon us. The last time the franchise graced the silver screen was back in 2019 when "The Rise of Skywalker" concluded the sequel trilogy. Though Lucasfilm has very much tried to move on in the years since, Daisy Ridley will be returning once again as Rey in a new, untitled film that will see her training a new generation of Jedi. Ridley may have already played Rey in a massively successful trilogy of films, but she's still nervous about returning as the character in the upcoming film.

Rumours continue to swirl about the future of Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars project, with the continued lack of a script being a key point of gossip.

Daisy Ridley faced a temporary slowdown in job offers after Star Wars, but external factors played a role too. Covid-19 affected Ridley's career in 2020, not just the response to the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Ridley's return to the Star Wars universe is a testament to her portrayal of Rey, despite past challenges.
In a recent interview, Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley explained that after her appearance as Rey Skywalker in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, she wasn't getting many job offers. The Star Wars sequel trilogy is considered controversial, in part because many viewers were highly critical of the direction the movies took with new characters like Rey and fan-favorite mainstays like Luke Skywalker. Now, Ridley is entering a brand-new era of Star Wars in Rey's upcoming Star Wars movie, and her career outside the franchises has grown considerably, but it seems the actress had a few roadblocks at first.
