- Quick Answer: Scoops indicate Finn, Poe, and Rose could rejoin Daisy Ridley in future Star Wars projects, including Simon Kinberg's planned trilogy.
Fans may get to see some familiar faces return to the Star Wars universe, if Daniel Richtman's latest claim is anything to go by.
It was previously announced that Daisy Ridley would reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in the solo New Jedi Order movie. If the latest report is true, she may not be the only sequel trilogy character returning to the world of Star Wars.
Who Will Return in the Star Wars Universe?
Known scooper Daniel Richtman suggests that upcoming Star Wars movies could see the return of other sequel trilogy characters beyond Daisy Ridley.
While neither the specific movies nor the characters have been revealed, the rumored list allegedly includes Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron and John Boyega's Finn in the newly announced projects from writer Simon Kinberg and director Jon Watts.
Poe and Finn were two of the standout heroes in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but their roles gradually became less significant as the trilogy progressed.
In fact, they were even sidelined in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which focused primarily on Rey and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) to conclude their story arcs.
That said, seeing them back together again could excite franchise fans, giving audiences another chance to learn more about these characters.
Speaking of sidelined characters, there may be no one who was pushed aside more than Rose Tico. A Resistance maintenance worker, Rose later becomes an Engineering Corps commander and is celebrated as a symbol of the "everyday, ground-level hero."
Given the impact her character made, it would be exciting to see Rose return to the franchise, too.
If the rumors prove true, the return of these sequel trilogy heroes could give Star Wars a chance to revisit characters whose stories can still continue.
What Are the Next Star Wars Projects?
There are several Star Wars projects planned for 2027 and beyond. In addition to the confirmed Starfighter movie, Ahsoka Season 2, and Maul: Shadow Lord Season 2, a Dave Filoni Mando-Verse/New Republic movie is also in development.
After working primarily on TV series, Filoni will make the jump to directing a feature film reportedly set after the events of Return of the Jedi. The movie is expected to tie together shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order movie, featuring Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey, is also in development. Set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, the film will follow Rey as she rebuilds the Jedi Order following the final battle with Emperor Palpatine.
This is one project where the sequel trilogy characters could make a return.
There will also be a new Star Wars trilogy developed by Simon Kinberg. While details about his upcoming films remain under wraps, some theories suggest that the trilogy could directly continue the Skywalker Saga with Episodes X through XII. However, it could also introduce an entirely new storyline.
With several projects exploring different eras and characters, the Star Wars franchise appears set for an exciting new chapter in the coming years.
