I read this leak/speculation on Bounding into Comics but considering it is Disney Star Wars I can totally see this happening. The working title is also New Jedi Order which leads me to believe it will be giving Rey what Luke's story was in the EU. I love how they didn't want to use it but feel the need to bastardize it. Like that Ahsoka series looks like an Heir to the Empire bastardization.
What would really crack me up would be to see Rey being a grumpy hermit on an island who has given up, and then wait for the critics to call it brilliant and subversive.
Same. I hope it fails and Disney sells Star Wars. I’m currently reading the last book of the New Jedi Order series. What is crazy is that they could’ve had their own canon while doing some Disney plus only animated adaptations of EU content like how DC made animated movies. I guess the one problem that may arise is that those stories would be enjoyed more than the movies.
