Rey has long since been poised as the Luke Skywalker replacement in the Star Wars episodic saga, but she's now becoming even more important.

I'm nervous for Ridley and for the character, and I hope that they deliver something great. There have been some great Star Wars projects over the last year, from The Mandalorian to Ahsoka to Andor, but will this creative team be able to bring that same amount of magic to a new franchise and make Rey the star she is supposed to be?

According to THR, Lucasfilm is reportedly convinced that Rey is the future of the franchise and wants to get her back on screen as soon as freaking possible:

New Star Wars movies are reportedly betting big on Daisy Ridley's Rey Skywalker, and there's a simple reason why Lucasfilm wants her on board.

Star Wars has a brand-new trilogy in the works, and rumors about Rey Skywalker's role in the movies could spell trouble for the franchise.
