"I can't wait for the second trailer to come out in 10 years"
"SOMEHOW THE OLD REPUBLIC RETURNED"

Daisy Ridley is currently doing press for her new film, and confirmed on various ABC shows that she is revisiting Rey in some unknown project, that will be "worth the wait".

As a casual Star Wars viewer who saw the first 2 sequels and walked out of the second one during the horse/casino scene, I don’t think anything was wrong with the main 3 characters or actors.
The plot/writing was just so bad.
I would absolutely watch a Rey series done by the Andor team, for instance.
Yes, the character was a Mary Sue, but that’s not the actor's fault. That was bad screenwriting and directing. A good writer could redeem any character.

Yes. I'd love anything from this team. I know Gilroy might be out for more SW but whoever else worked on Andor needs to be given a chance to do more SW projects like that.

We could have met up in the parking lot
The concept was DOA
Possible
That was from Burbank…you don’t mess with the bull or you get the horns
George didn’t get it…sweater man had no chance
Hey Daisy is working… she has a new Zombie Apocalypse movie called We Bury The Dead…. Looks pretty good… currently at 91%…. Will be released just after the new year

But she is not in a blockbuster, don't forget she ain't really "working" unless she is in a blockbuster franchise movie that makes $1B or more.

Yeah I wish her well in other jobs
But the Star Wars well is poisoned for her. That’s not her fault…but still the reality

I do find it ironic that abc is plugging Ridley in Star Wars…they’ve been careful not to highlight the franchise crash over the last few years as damage control.
So why now? Desperation?
If it’s a theatrical project…it will bomb. That’s a lock
If its a series…it will land somewhere around obi wan…
Maybe they “split it” and do a feature length straight to stream?

Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy To Be Honored At The 2026 MPSE Golden Reel Awards
Kathleen Kennedy is set to be honored at the 2026 MPSE Golden Reel Awards with the Filmmaker Award.

None of us know what a Daisy Ridley movie will do… The only out right theatrical Star Wars flop was Solo…. But that was because of it’s own issues that had nothing to do with the Sequel trilogy
My niece and Nephew favorite Star Wars is the sequel trilogy…. There was a time when people thought Hayden’s Anakin would never return
Also we have no idea in what capacity Daisy Ridley will make an appearance….for all we know…. Rey will simply make an appearance in Starfighter

…yeah…the diminishing returns are the giveaway
I’m not using “poisoned well” flippantly.
Need a good example? MCU is an obvious one of of late…it’s not the individual movies…it’s the narrative that the franchise is in collapse that does the damage
How old are your niece and nephew?
Prolly near where the prequel fanbase was at that time. And as you said the opinion has softened…but I think there’s a very good case as to why?
it could fail but it also might not…the box office is unpredictable l…. Who would of figured a Minecraft movie would be one biggest hits while Megan 2.0 would be one of the biggest Flops if 3025
Yeah my niece and nephew are 14 and 10 and Hayden was still terrible in the prequels
I joked earlier with the Jar Jar reference, but in all seriousness, I think you're spot-on with this.
Even characters fans like to dump on heavily (Rose Tico, for instance).
Her character wasn't the problem.
Casting wasn't the problem.
It was how silly the story writers made her such a side-quest pawn to pretty much a throwaway. That's what people disliked.
Not to mention her short PSA on saving space horses.
