I’m excited for this. Say what you want about the ST, Rey was a stand-out character for me and I will enjoy seeing her continued adventures. In the real world, I enjoy Daisy Ridley as an actress and I wish her much success so I’m happy to see her return to the Star Wars universe.

Based on this and several other articles I’ve read that although this movie takes place after Episode 9 it does not seem that this will be Episode 10. It seems like it will be it’s own story.

Yeah I can see this getting mixed reactions but I always found Dasiy Ridley to be very likeable, personally. I like that this isn’t episode 10 as well. Let it be its own thing.

Very happy that they're continuing Rey's story. Daisy and Rey deserve better than what they got in the ST. So do Finn, Poe, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie for that matter, but that's another discussion I don't want to retread here.

It's a bad sign IMO. They need to retcon the ST. This is continuing to invest in it.

I like the ST. I don't think they need to retcon the ST. I'm happy they are investing in the ST.

AMEN!!! I liked the characters but they definitely deserved better.

And that's fine. Different opinions.

FWIW I don't reject the possibility of a good Rey movie. I just have the common gripes about the ST in the broader sense.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

And that's fine. Different opinions.

Absolutely, I agree completely. I totally understand some people liked the ST trilogy and some people didn't like it. I'm totally okay with everyone having a seat at the table.

I will say I love it when people use words like 'I feel' or 'I think' or 'for me' or 'personally' because then it's clear the opinion being expressed is an opinion. When words like that are not used it makes opinions sound like facts instead of opinions.

They don't have to retcon it, they just need to make a good movie that doesn't reference the sequel trilogy except as a clean slate.

 

[Wolfsburg]

Egad! I’ve got it! With “Heir to the Empire” being pulled into the Disney canon, the “Luke” we saw in the ST was actually Luuke Skywalker, the moody, mentally addled clone! Against the backdrop of creating a new Jedi Order, Rey must go find the real Luke Skywalker! Problem solved!!!

Skywalker, Rey Skywalker.

I said before, in the All Things Star Wars thread, but I have the perfect title for the first of the new films chronicling the adventures of Jedi Master Palpatine…

Star Wars: Episode 10

Respectfully, I don't think those qualifiers are necessary. We're all participating in a subjective conversation about art. Any statement made carries with it the implication that what's being said is the opinion of the person writing it. I think it's unnecessary to state the obvious.

I agree, that's why I said 'I love it when...'. Sometimes it's just nice

 

[Psab keel]

That's perfectly fair!

Listening to interviews post announcement it sounds like this movie is going to be set 15 years post EP9.

 

[Gregatron]

This is the best thing that could happen. Once the failure is complete and it all burns to the ground, there will be a sharp dividing line between pre- and post-Disney, and the past decade will be repudiated in the history books.

Let it all burn.

 

[Jodo]

Hmmmmm, ehhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, meeehhhhhhhhhh?

 

[TinkerTaylor]

I love Daisy and Rey, so I hope this turns out good!
