‘Star Wars’ Movies’ Race for Rey, and the Future of the Franchise on the Big Screen
The scavenger-turned-Jedi played by Daisy Ridley in the last three episode movies is key to the space opera's next turn.

i cant wait till woman are removed from all positions of power. really this election was female neuroticism and versus muscular masculinity. now we need to finish this shit off in entertainment.While insiders dispute the notion that there is a battle for Rey, there definitely is internal deliberation within Lucasfilm as to what do with the heir to Skywalker next. “She is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now,” one source close to the franchise tells THR. (Pedro Pascal’s Mandalorian and the Yoda-like Grogu are Disney+ creations and will have their big-screen power tested with a feature directed by Jon Favreau, releasing in 2026.)‘Star Wars’ Movies’ Race for Rey, and the Future of the Franchise on the Big Screen

WTF, what world do they live in. If they think that Rey has any value, they are fucking delusional.
Just sell the IP to someone who actually loves it .

To be honest, the biggest surviving asset from the Disney sequels... is Oscar Isaac. Who's going to be too good for this shit for another decade+ until he needs cash.
Then.. it's John Boyega, who is broke enough already to contemplate returning, but (as the plots for episodes 8 and 9 shows) never had a long term arc in the movies, other than 'We have to diversity hire at least one Hispanic and one Black lead.'
Then it's... probably Maz Kanata's butthole eyes.
Then it's finally Daisy Ridley, as literally the last surviving named character introduced in Episode 7.
The smart play would be to jump ahead centuries with a new cast, but entirely abandoning the sequel era would admit that Disney ran it into the ground, and the same leadership in place can't admit that, so they'll throw more good money after bad.
I just don't understand why their major shareholders put up with it.

Trends don't lie. If ROS did comparable numbers to TLJ they'd have something to talk about with Rey's draw power. But it didn't do just 200 million less than TLJ.
It came in over 300 million less than TLJ. That's a trend that can't just be swept under a rug. It's true when they try to do something without Rey, like Solo, it flops. For whatever reason Disney treats Lucas Film differently than Marvel. Anything less than a billion box office gets all projects halted and a hiatus called. Whereas Marvel is allowed flop after flop. It might have to do with the historic sanctity of Star Wars being the original blockbuster and creating the blockbuster. As long as Iger is in power, movies that are projected to break even or do average 400-500m Marvel numbers aren't going to be given a budget at Lucas Film.
It's a tough sell that Rey can clear a billion on a new movie.

Rey is the most valuable asset? Youve got to be kidding me. The most valuable asset right now is Darth Vader, its always been.
Make a movie of the Dark Horse Comic, "Darth Vader the Cry of Shadows"
Or
Darth Vader "Purge"
make these and then take your billions to the bank........or use Rey and lose anther 500 million

The hallway scene solidified exactly what Star Wars fans want from Star Wars.
They showed how absolutely fucking worthless anyone without Force powers are against a badass like Vader. And especially Vader. The entire rest of the series can go fuck itself, and it would still be worth watching just to get to that scene and watch everyone scream in terror, and either cower in fear or put up a meaningless fight, all just to die regardless. It was glorious. And I'd pay money to watch an entire movie of that.

That's why I loathe the streaming series era for Star Wars. Every other character has force powers beyond repute or a ridiculous amount of force power just for being "force sensitive". It wasn't just the Disney+ series though, the sequel trilogy is where the door was opened on that.
They really ran the whole force thing into the fucking ground with ridiculous powers. If Mangold does get a movie I think he'll dial the prevalence of force power way down.
This is where Lucas sequel trilogy would have shined. Yes, we know from his movie outlines that he was going to massively dial up the scale of force powers the same as Disney has done-- but it would come with an explanation. Lucas's sequel trilogy movies would have been a much better "force unleashed".

Can you even care? I am like a dwarf from Warhammer, my memory is a book of grudges. Once they fuck up a setting/franchise I literally can't care again. Any nostalgia I have is permanently dead. Just like how I had fondness for the originals got decades, I now know it's just faggy Rey and the retards all the way down. They can never, ever, make up for the bumbling stupidity of the days long space chase while saving horses from space Vegas type garbage. Or Luke tossing the lightsaber. Or han doing nothing then dying in a pit. Or general pink hair mankiller.

I guess on some level I still do care. The franchise is completely ruined at this point. the only things being promised is a shitty movie based on butchered bits of shot footage from mando season 4 and more fucking Rey nonsense. Both are garbage, they canceled Mando s4 because nobody wanted to see a Bo Katan Mando show, so they just shortened it to a movie and then it's either over or they try again which would be a long time from now. After 5 years the only other new ideas they have is more "Skywalker Saga" with Lucas story group hero, Rey. Yeah it's over. But I still hope that someday they can turn it around. Not now though.
I mean, the franchise was retired at the end of Revenge of the Sith. There was the Star Wars cartoon, but that was very niche and not enough interest in a live action movie version. There still isn't. Their big bad, was a big blue dumb fuck named Thrawn
