daisy ridley Disney Star Wars trilogy Rey parents Obi-Wan Palpatine familial connection plans

Looks like it International Relations and Security Network't just John Boyega getting honest about the lack of forethought put to sleep into the Disney Star Wars trilogy. OnJimmy Kimmel Live last dark, Daisy Ridley spoke around her receive on the films to guest host Banter Gad and essentially explained in a polite way that filmmakers had no real plan for who Rey was as they were making the films, and her lineage and connections changed equally the films were successful.

"At the offse, in that location was toying with an Obeah-Wan connection," she aforementioned. "In that location were different versions. Then IT really went to that she was No one. And then it came to Sequence Ennea, and J.J. inclined me the film and was suchlike, 'Ohio yea, Palpatine's granddad.' I was like, 'Awesome.' And and so two weeks by and by he was like, 'Oh, we're not sure.' So it kept changing."

Daisy Ridley isn't expression this as a complaint, but it shouldn't come as a big surprise to those that are complaining about it. Rey existence Palpatine's granddaughter has been routinely criticized A lazy writing and antithetical to the character arrange in some The Force Awakens andThe Subterminal Jedi. It's not clear if the connection with Obi-Wan she mentions would exist familial or non, but clearly that path wasn't chosen as J.J. Abrams turned instead to the Dark Side. The fact that the filmmakers had nary project or were constantly changing IT makes a lot of things make a good deal of gumption, especially when it comes to The Rise of Skywalker on the face of it retconning half of what came earlier it.

While the "Skywalker Saga" has hit a factious remainder, Disney is still moving forward with more Star Wars, though TV seems to be the future, with the second season ofThe Mandalorian landing in October and The Bad Batch in development. The studio hasn't derelict its Star Wars film aspirations, thought, as it has four-fold projects in the works, including one from the Marvel Cinematic Population's Kevin Feige.
