Star Wars: 10 Big Kylo Ren And Rey Theories For Episode 9

7. Kylo Ren And Rey Will Be Significantly Older

Star Wars fans love to complain and one of their biggest grievance so far is that Episodes 7 and 8 appear to have only taken place over the course of a couple of a mere few weeks. Rey has risen from scavenger to Jedi in that time and Kylo has evolved from a wimpy and sullen individual into the new leader of the First Order.

So, therefore, it seems likely that Episode 9 will be set some time after the events of The Last Jedi. During which time the galaxy could have a completely different complexion with the consequences of recent events - such as the death of the Republic and brutality of the First Order regime - yet to be addressed.

Star Wars may even jump forward more than just a couple of years. By that time, Kylo will have no doubt helped bring more chaos to the galaxy, and Rey may be given the time to train a new generation of Jedi - something heavily hinted at in The Last Jedi.

Why Is It Big? Jumping forward would offer the chance to further enhance both characters. Kylo and Rey both appear new to things at the moment and, by ageing the duo, that could add new intrigue to both individuals.

Sport and Film. I love them both. And I'm extremely lucky to write about two of my biggest passions in life. Most of the time, I'm at the Daily Express newspaper writing about football, tennis and F1. But, when I'm out of there, I let my imagination run wild and pen down my thoughts on the film series' I love. WhatCulture gives me the chance to write about the movie industry - an industry I really care about. And for that, I'm extremely grateful. And hope you, if you're reading this, enjoy what I think about stuff.
