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.
Something I can't help but keep on noticing with these woke films is how trash the overall production value keeps getting and they cut so many corners it's ridiculous. The little mermaid one still really gets to me because that should have been an easy sell for special effects and instead they just stuck the actress in a mermaid outfit and sat her in an obvious studio under a spotlight.
You know like with the last jedi or whatever fucking movie it was with old Luke Skywalker they're going to spend half the movie sitting on an island somewhere vaguely acting instead of it being remotely interesting and they'll throw in a few internal spaceship assets to make it look like a 'sci-fi' movie and not just a corpoate woke drama with the star wars skin slapped onto it.
It really does beg the question because I could make a fucking better movie than any of that trash, where is the money going? This was always the case before but methinks Disney in particular might be involved in money laundering or some other shadiness because there's no other reason they'd be happy failing consistently otherwise.
diversity hires produce trash that nobody can criticize or else its lawsuit time
the quality of everything is going down, it is just most obvious in movies where a lot of the quality is determined purely by the visuals
