STAR WARS Sequel Star Daisy Ridley Reveals Whether There's A Chance She Could Return As Rey Skywalker

The Last Jedi was a pretty solid movie?? Ummmm....no. Honestly, the only reason I can even watch that movie is that I do like Rey as a character, but the idea that critics (especially woke, progressive critics) constantly push that it was Rise of Skywalker that did the most damage to the Star Wars franchise is utter nonsense. Frankly, there was no really good way to fix the mess that Rian Johnson created, so Abrams was doomed from the start. Johnson, with Kennedy cheering him on, tried to use Star Wars to push his own ideology over the themes and lore that George Lucas created, and the result was exactly what you would expect, a mess that a large number of fans hated. Never mind that Johnson clearly had no idea of the rules of the Star Wars universe or the continuity that had already been set up (or just decided that pushing his story was more important than keeping continuity.) The whole "They found a way to track us through hyperspace, oh no!!" plotline was ridiculous when you consider that there were two instances in the first six films of ships being tracked through hyperspace by placing homing devices on ships (the Millennium Falcon was tracked by the Death Star in A New Hope, and Obi-Wan Kenobi tracked Jengo Fett in Attack of the Clones.) The "using up fuel" plotline was also stupid, at least in terms of sublight speeds, since a ship in motion in space will continue traveling at the same speed since there isn't any air to create friction to slow it down, so once the Resistance ships were at top sublight speed they should've remained at that speed without using fuel, so no, ships wouldn't have eventually slowed down after using their fuel and been overtaken and destroyed by the First Order ships. (If they were totally out of fuel though, they would've had no way to either maneuver or slow down upon reaching a planet, which would've created a different set of problems. There is also the issue of the idea that the Resistance wouldn't have made sure to have plenty of fuel for an escape.) As for Luke's "Force Projection," while it makes sense that projecting himself, even across the galaxy, is possible with the Force, it makes no sense that his lightsaber would be solid and he would be able to duel Kylo Ren but that Kylo's saber would pass through him because he was just a projection. Either the projection is solid or it isn't. (I guess he could've had control over when he was solid and when he wasn't, but you get my point. Johnson was just making stuff up without really understanding the way that universe should work.) I wouldn't mind seeing Rey in a future movie, but preferably in a movie in which the Abrams/Johnson trilogy has been shown to be an alternate timeline and then comes up with a new backstory for Rey that doesn't have her being the granddaughter of Palpatine.
