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.
I will never forgive Disney Star Wars for what they did to Luke. I literally care more about cleaning soap deposits off my bathroom tub more than I do about the latest Mary Sue Rey offering.
Wait, could we not rename Mary Sue into Mary Rey now? Update it to modern character references that more people understand...
Same. It was a layup to open the movie with Luke training Jedi or having a 5 minute reunion. Didn’t have to get rid of the EU
