10 Recent Star Wars Truths We've Just Found Out

As already noted on this list, the announcement of Daisy Ridley once again stepping back into the galaxy far, far away for an incoming post-Sequel Trilogy flick had fans shaking around their lightsabers with glee.

What wasn't entirely clear at the time of said reveal, though, was precisely how big the Rey star's role would be in the upcoming Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy feature.

And while it has been said that the story will focus on Rey's attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order on the back of the events that went down in The Rise of Skywalker, industry insider John Rocha was recently on hand to offer a surprising update on her part in this new tale.

As he'd note during a recent edition of his podcast, "Daisy won’t necessarily be the lead,” based on some of the rumours he's hearing in the business at this time. Instead, Ridley's Rey will act as the "Luke" or "Obi-Wan" sort of figure in this particular scenario as she rebuilds the Jedi Order.

With Ridley all but confirmed as not being the central figure of Obaid-Chinoy's new Star Wars big-screen adventure then, fans will now likely begin wondering precisely which thespian will lead this next intriguing chapter in the story of the Jedi.
