The lawsuit seems likely frivolous because studios are never obligated to keep an actor/character on a show. Their story can be ended at any time for creative reasons, and it's not the same as firing someone from a permanent job.

Disney perhaps should have just said the character is not part of future plans and not given further reason.

I know they aren't obligated. But the one thing that could be a thorn in Disneys side is their mouth. It doesn't matter if they can get rid of the character whenever they want. You still need to be consistent. And they did publicly shame her for her comments and said that's why she's no longer there. Even that might not be enough though. But when they didn't axe Pedro for the same thing, now you've opened yourself up for trouble.

If they just played out season two, ignored the beep bop boop and her tweets. Then wrote her out of season 3, no harm. This moving to discovery shows that there is something to look at. Will it amount to anything? I'm not sure. I personally think it should.

Take it was a grain of salt as it hasn't been officially confirmed, but the rumors making the rounds is the new Rey movie will be called (at least for now) -

Star Wars: A New Beginning

Production is expected to start this fall.

It's hard to say since Disney isn't all that transparent, especially with star wars. If you go by what people associated with the production have said, they don't have a final script yet. As far as the name goes, that's more possible.

Well I said take it with a grain of salt. Also my post was really just about the rumored name but many films in Hollywood go into production and start filming without a final script.

There has been half a dozen movies they announce but never happen. Maybe their choice director has another documentary to film that no one will ever see.

No official word on the Rey movie cancelling but Lucasfilm sure is quiet about it. No script. No pre-production. Looks like they are planning on it just fading away.

That's one of Kennedys M.O.s. Have they officially cancelled anything? Kennedy just ignores it in the hopes everyone will just forget. There are many, many projects that were announced that are still just hanging out there in no mans land.

I would like to see a completely non-canonical movie about all the Star Wars ideas and characters trapped in developmental purgatory. They're kind of aware of each other, and they have a vague idea that they're trapped, but can't find a way out.

It's hard when you kill off the characters everyone loves for ones people actively hate. I think they should do a real New Jedi Order based on the books and the Yuuzhan Vong war. Start out with Jedi order that Rey built and have her killed off in the first encounter with Yuuzhan Vong. Make Finn a surviving Jedi. Throw Gorgu in there if they must. Have the trilogy center around the new Jedi Order and Republic defending themselves at their weakest. They need to figure out how to work with the surviving piece of the First Order.

Personally I'm of the mindset that at this point in time, stay away from the OT or sequel timeline. Just go back to the old Republic or 500yrs forward. You can go back to the sequels eventually, just not now. There's advantages to both strategies. The old Republic isn't held down by anything that's been done before. And you have some fan favorite characters, as well as a story that's already great that just needs adapting.

Going forward, while you still have to deal with some of what happened in the past. You're pretty well free to create whatever you want. You will also have a 550yr old Grogu in his prime Jedi years. And that could be awesome.

I’ve lost so much faith in LucasFilm that the only projects I trust to maybe turn out well are projects involving outside parties like game developers but even that’s a crap shoot. Look at Star Wars Outlaws. That and anything involving Jon Favreau or Tony Gilroy even though Mando S3 was mostly a load of poo doo.

The point of your post is that you think it's unlikely that the film will be made.

And to back that up, you post a link saying that it's still going to be made.

Are you getting enough oxygen?

Let's just be honest, Daisy, while a decent actress, and very likeable on screen, just doesn't have the physical attributes to play a Jedi hero in the film fans want. The reason the lightsaber action was so lame in the ST is because she can't pull it off. I've already seen way more Rey lightsaber scenes than I ever should have.
