Actress Daisy Ridley may be attached to the new “Star Wars” movie set fifteen years after 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” but she is not reportedly playing the lead role.
The 31-year-old actress rose to fame after she starred as Rey in 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” which kicked off a trilogy of sequels. He reprized his role in 2017’s “The Last Jedi” and 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” which concluded the nine-episode Skywalker Saga.
Rumor: Daisy Ridley Won’t Star in New ‘Star Wars’ Movie
During a recent episode of The Hot Mic Podcast, co-hosts John Rocha and Jeff Sneider discussed the new film that was announced at the Star Wars Celebration 2023 event in London earlier this month.
“From what I understand, and some rumors have come out here is that Daisy is not necessarily going to be the lead,” Rocha said. He will be like Luke [Skywalker] or Obi-Wan [Kenobi] that situation, and he will rebuild a new Jedi Order.”
Sneider agreed that Rey “definitely” will not play a major role in the new film, but will instead serve as a supporting character for the new hero’s journey. While it’s currently unclear who the new lead will be, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy did reveal a bit of the plot in a recent interview after the Star Wars Festival.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly at Star Wars Celebration London, Kathleen Kennedy revealed that the film will take place fifteen years after the fall of the First Order. Kennedy revealed that the film will focus on Rey’s decision to rebuild the Jedi Order, although it sounds like the story may be told from the perspective of one of her students.
“As we move into future space — this story is about 15 years beyond The Rise of Skywalker — obviously we realize after the war, after the First Order the rise of the New Jedi Order, we left episode 9 with Rey making a commitment to Luke Skywalker that he would rebuild the Jedi Order,” Kennedy said.

“So here we are — we’re ready to do it. And it took a lot of discussion because obviously we’ve been developing stories in different spaces, and television has been a big focus of our attention right now,” he continued. “But there’s still a lot of interest in what happens after The Rise of Skywalker. So we’re excited to do it.”
So far, Daisy Ridley is the only star from the sequel trilogy confirmed to reprise her role in the latest film in the galaxy far, far away. When asked if other characters will return, Kennedy laughed and said, “It’s impossible to see some people coming back.”

One character that fans want to see again is Finn, played by “Attack the Block” star John Boyega. On The Hot Mic podcast, John Rocha claimed that “several different sources” told him that “John Boyega is coming back” for the new “Star Wars” movie, although Boyega’s involvement in the new movie has yet to be confirmed by an official source.
In an August 2022 interview with SirusXM’s Tell Me Everything With John Fugelsang, Boyega was asked if he would like to return to a galaxy far, far away. “At this point, I’m just calm. I’m fine,” Boyega said at the time. “I think Finn is at a good validation point where you can enjoy him in other things, games, animation. But I feel like'[Episode] VII’ to ‘[Episode] IX’ is good for me.”

However, he’s still a fan of the franchise and has followed Disney+ shows, including “The Mandalorian” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” In an August 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, Boyega said that “People are always surprised!” to hear that he’s still a fan, adding, “The industry issue has nothing to do with Star Wars and I’m a fan of it. I’ve seen Obi-Wan, I’ve seen The Mandalorian.”
“I will forever be a fan of this franchise. As far as Finn? I’m good at that,” he added. However, he did mention that he would support his costars if they chose to return to the galaxy far, far away.
