8 Mind-Blowing Revelations Hidden In Rise Of Skywalker
1. We've Already Met The Heroes Of The Next Trilogy
As much as this trilogy was the story of Rey and Kylo Ren, the next will be all about Finn and Jannah.
With the galaxy free of The First Order and The Final Order respectively, Rey’s next task will have to be to find and train some new Jedi. With all due respect to broom boy he’s probably not going to be the first on her list of new students.
That honor will go to Finn, Jannah and the rest of the Force sensitive former Stormtroopers. Why a bunch of Force sensitive children were somehow kidnapped into being Stormtroopers is an interesting question in and of itself, and one in which a possible connection to Luke’s Jedi Order seems highly likely. Especially if we are to take JJ Abram’s statement that Jannah is Lando’s daughter as potentially cannon.
But these new characters are not set up just to be forgotten about, they are intentionally introduced to be the new generation of Jedi and probably the heroes of the next sequel trilogy. They are brought in to lay the groundwork for the future of the Jedi order in the minds of the audience. Providing the clear path forward that Return of The Jedi failed to do with regards to what was next for Luke.
As much as this Trilogy was Rey’s story, we can expect the next one to be Finn and Jannah’s and okay maybe broom boy’s too. Their Jedi journey will take centre stage as Rey comes to terms with what it means to be a Jedi master.
