But this is only somewhat surprising, as Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy revealed that Rey's solo adventure a kind New beginning for Star Wars represent should. It would probably be counterproductive to market the film as a continuation of a nine-part series – especially since Episode 9 is referred to as the end of the Skywalker saga anyway.

Maison can confirm that Daisy Ridley's (quite lucrative) return to the Star Wars universe is currently under the working title New Jedi Order arises. What final name will appear on the cinema poster remains to be seen.

According to initial plot details, Rey is actually supposed to be after the events of Episode 9 create a new Jedi Order. But that initially represents the basis of the plot and what happens next remains unclear at the moment.
