It looks like there is going to be another Force-sensitive character that will be introduced in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Interestingly, it's the same character that has been theorized to be connected to Luke Skywalker right from the start.
The new details were revealed during a recent episode of the Making Star Wars podcast where it was confirmed that Mark Hamill had filmed a scene with Keri Russell, who will play Zorri Bliss in Episode IX. According to sources, their scenes were filmed back in August and that it wasn't set in the snowy planet of Kijimi where Zorri comes from.
This is certainly big news for Star Wars fans. After all, Luke might only be returning as a Force ghost. If one of his scenes involves Zorri Bliss, then it could mean that the character is actually Force-sensitive as well.
But what if Hamill and Russell were actually filming a flashback sequence? Then this could mean that Zorri is connected to Luke in some mysterious way. Not surprisingly, some already believe that Russell might be playing Luke's daughter.
That's not the only interesting thing about Zorri. It was previously reported that the mysterious character might be the one who was piloting the ship that left Rey on Jakku in the first place. If this is true, then it could finally confirm that Zorri is actually Rey's mother. However, this has not yet been confirmed so it's best to take it with a grain of salt.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will premiere on December 20.
