Will Daisy Ridley be in the new Star Wars trilogy?

The Rey Skywalker case is still far from being resolved at Lucasfilm…

What to do with Rey Skywalker? While the character played by Daisy Ridley will return in 2026 in a new film Star Warsdirected by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoywe don't really know what will happen to the character after that. What will be its place, in particular, in the new trilogy of Simon Kinberg ?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the question has not yet been resolved. Lucasfilm is still hesitant and doesn't know exactly how to best place the one that is “considered the universe's most valuable cinematic asset Star Wars Today. In a way, she might even be the only asset Star Wars has right now.” confides a studio source to THR. The site suggests that there is some sort of internal battle over where to put Rey and in which films. THR sources deny the idea of ​​a conflict, but admit that a “internal deliberation” is underway to establish the right plan for Ray.

According to the first information from the site, the central character of the last trilogy should play a role in “several films” currently in development, although it is not yet clear which films this refers to.

It must be said that Lucasfilm has launched multiple tracks of new feature films Star Wars (the only one fixed at the moment is The Mandalorian & Groguby Jon Favreau, which will be released on May 20, 2026). Latest: the new trilogy of Simon Kinberg (X-Men) which could be, or not, the continuation of Episodes VII, VIII and IX. If that were the case, then we imagine that Rey would be there. But the latest news is that Lucasfilm wanted these three new films not to take place in the saga Skywalkerpreferring to focus on entirely new characters and a whole new story. The Galaxy Far, Far Away is clearly at a crossroads.
