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?

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.

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.
