We had heard rumors that Daisy Ridley might be in talks to return as Rey for a future Star Wars project, and the news was confirmed during Star Wars Celebration London.
Ridley will reprise her sequel trilogy role for director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's movie, which will be set a whole fifteen years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker.
Plot details are still mostly under wraps, but we do know that Rey will be a "powerful Jedi master" running her own training academy when we catch up with her.
Exciting news, for sure, but that wasn't the only major movie announcement!
Two other Star Wars films were confirmed during the presentation, with The Mandalorian executive producer Dave Filoni set to helm a tale set in the New Republic timeline that serves as a culmination of the various Disney+ shows. Plus, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold's project will tell the story of the first Jedi to ever wield the Force!
