John Boyega has made it clear that he has no inclinations to return to the Star Wars universe after the sequel trilogy. Which I don't blame him for, given how much Disney wasted Finn's potential and how terrible the fanbase can be to the actors involved in the movies/tv shows.
Yeah, I was about to edit my post to mention that. It’s a real shame. It would be cool to see Finn using the Force.
My fear is that they do something like creating Jedi via science, by creating a "midichlorian booster", or some such nonsense. it was better when The Force was just Space Magic (tm).
Nah, they'll do it Buffy-style by infusing a demon into them.
I also think that they are in a similar situation with Rey as they were with Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi where we end on a note of "and now you are truly a Jedi". While we may recognize that the "hero learns to hero" part of a character's story can be much more interesting than the "hero is an accomplished hero" part, the first part still naturally leaves an audience wanting to experience that second part as well.
... I would watch that.
I've often thought that part of the brilliance of Lawrence of Arabia was showing us that second story in the back half of the (very long) movie. Of course, it's hardly the happiest of endings.
I don't think that's exactly what they're doing, though, given the 15-year time-skip and "academy"-type setting. I suspect she'll be Gandalf to a bunch of new recruits, who will be the primary heroes. It'll be pretty funny if they make it in the next few years though - Daisy Ridley hasn't aged and won't in that time period, certainly nowhere near 15 years. I guess they'll give here a severe-looking haircut and rely on that to age her up lol?
