Contrary to dire predictions, it seems that Rey Skywalker will likely be returning to the big screen as planned. Or simply when she’s good and ready. Amid industry rumors that the much-discussed film Star Wars: New Jedi Order suffered the departure of screenwriter Steven Knight, the star of the film, Daisy Ridley, is suggesting that fans can expect some kind of more formal announcement very soon.
So is the Rey movie doomed, or is there suddenly a very new hope? When it comes to Star Wars rumors, the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own points of view, but if we accept the words of certain Jedi as trustworthy, it seems that this film is still being made. It’s just a matter of when.
