I don't think I need to revisit just how divisive the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy was to the point that I once wrote that this franchise should steer clear of more trilogies. While shows like The Mandalorian have been a great palette cleanser for fans, I'm sure there are still many traumatized by the discussions that went on throughout The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, and would sooner just forget it all happened, like the franchise seemingly had in recent years. This upcoming Rey movie has proved that's not the case, and I'm already more excited about it than I was about the Sequel Trilogy.
That may not sound like a big statement at first, especially given the Sequel Trilogy's polarizing reception nowadays. With that said, we were all very excited about the story being told at the beginning, despite how we all felt afterward. Now that I know at least one of those characters' stories will continue, I am more excited than ever to see it happen for a few reasons.
