In fact, this was arguably the biggest shock of all theStar Wars Celebration 2025 reveals.
Rey’s Star Wars return is happening in Star Wars: New Jedi Order.

Surely, ifStar Warswas continuing that story, it would be done with Rey.
This also meant thatNew Jedi Orderwould have the freedom to shape what the future ofStar Warslooked like.
This raises some major questions about what Rey’s movie will or could look like now.
The tenth mainline installment in the Star Wars franchise is the first movie to follow the sequel trilogy, where Mark Hamill’s Luke, Carrie Fisher’s Leia, and Harrison Ford’s Han Solo gave their final farewell. After the release of The Rise of Skywalker, development on a direct sequel had become dormant as Disney shifted focus on other parts of the galaxy, namely, Disney+ shows such as The Mandalorian, Andor, and Ahsoka. However, a movie starring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker was officially announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023.
I Don’t Think The Movie Is Canceled…
However, I do thinkStarfightermeans we won’t be getting theNew Jedi Ordermany were expecting.
Given that, even the notion of the New Jedi Order could be altered byStarfighter.
However, a movie starring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker was officially announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023.
Star Wars: Starfighter is an upcoming entry in the iconic science fiction franchise.
