No offence to Daisy but surely Rey’s story is done. Especially when you end it so badly.
Branch out! Pick a different time! You’ve got a whole universe to play in!

its a space soap opera. maybe youre not familiar with soaps, but they tend to maintain characters… branching out isnt exactly common.
i want more rey
I just feel like Star Wars needs to be written better. I didn’t like Rey because I didn’t like the story. I’m sure I’m not in the minority with this sentiment. If they can flesh out characters more, including Rey, and create more original stories, like Rogue One, then the general population and original fans together will be happy.
Star Wars has some exquisite backdrops and such flimsy dialogue. its gloriously tragic.
without fleshed out characters exhibiting humanity, its not a story.
You’re not alone - Disney Star Wars has being either absolutely fantastic (Rogue One, etc.) or absolutely trash (789, etc.). Rogue One had good characters with interesting motivations and growth. Jyn had to come to terms with her fathers role in the empire and make choices on how to tackle unclear situations.
The new trilogy featured Rey, who… never changed or grew or really faced any meaningful challenge? She was just… always stronger/better because she just was. It felt more like playing a video game where your character fights increasingly big bad guys but never actually changes skills or unlocks new stuff.
And c’mon… “somehow Palpatine has returned” is the laziest piece of shit you can think of. That’s some 5th grade fiction writing assignment shit.
I enjoyed the first movie. In retrospect they could have expanded better within the movie instead of the outside novelettes to explain each character more in depth. I don’t think she’s a Mary Sue any more than Anakin is, even less so, but again I read the backstories and get why it feels that way without them. The other two movies stumbled for a lot of reasons, ruining what I think could have been a good story. Honestly from the very start, when Luke tosses the sabre away, I was like “oh no…” Not what I wanted or needed from that.
What Disney fails to understand is that Star Wars fits so many genres. It doesn’t need to be space opera. That’s what the trilogy was, but that’s not the whole universe.
People really liked the western. People really liked the spy thriller.
I think people would really like the buddy cop movie. I think people would really like the samurai movie. I think people would really like the creature horror movie.
Yeah, that’s why the Andor series was so great. They didn’t make a Star Wars show, they made a great heist show that just so happened to transpire in the Star Wars universe.
