Star Wars Episode 9: 15 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far

5. Will It Leave Rey's Story Open?

While this is the final instalment in the Skywalker saga, it's worth noting that Rey is - as far as we know, and barring any late twists - NOT a Skywalker.

That means there's the potential for her story to go forward, along with the likes of Finn, Poe, and BB-8, for future Star Wars Episodes. It's something Kathleen Kennedy has spoken of before, and it's hard to imagine Lucasfilm (and Disney) wouldn't be interested in more adventures with these characters given how lucrative they are.

Quite where Rey's story is going remains up in the air though. It seems likely there'll be another showdown between her and Kylo, but then there could be a peaceful resolution to that. It's very hard to imagine Rey being killed off, but will her story also be closed?
