Discussion Rey, Finn, and Poe in future films.

For Rey it's kinda boring because she basically just becomes post ROTJ Luke after TROS. I hope she could seek out Grogu and some of Luke's other students who survived to jump-start the new order. I think her struggling with force powers weakening because of Ben and therefore the dyad being gone could be an interesting plot point.

For Finn he obviously should be a Jedi, being Rey's first student. After training for a bit I think he should go on a solo journey to discover himself.

For Poe I would have him take command of the New Republic military. Having him be a mentor in Rogue Squadron or even part of the team would be perfect if they could actually get Oscar Isaac back.

 

What if Rey was swallowed by a sarlacc right after the final scene in TROS?

 

Maybe the main SW marvel comics could be continue the story in the future.

 

But only after a speech the sarlacc gave stating that her killing him would mean that she was his replacement sarlacc... only to find that no, killing him just meant no more sarlacc.

 

Yup, that all makes sense.

 

I’d want to see Ben’s turn to Kylo Ren, or rather I want to see this story of Luke as a Jedi Master.

Not clamouring for any more Rey, Finn and Poe at this point. But if they write an interesting story that involves them or gives them some depth, I’m all for it.

Perhaps there’s something interesting they can do with Rey and the dyad even after Ben’s death. Also could be neat to see Finn as Reys first student since he’s force sensitive. Can Padawan Finn fill the Ben-sized hole in Rey’s heart? Or, plot-twist, can Poe?

Could also be interesting to see Finn and Poe dealing with FO survivors and turncoats, like those struggling to reintegrate and be accepted into society, with Finn being more understanding than Poe.

 

Yeah, every relationship was a casualty in the ST, whether they had potential from the start or not..

Normally I think all of these petitions and such to change canon or "take back" movies or stories are silly and ridiculous. But when it comes to the Kylo kiss, I think they should not only remove it from canon,. they should try to chase down every copy in existence and have it removed. It served absolutely no purpose, and removing it would not have changed the movie in any notable way in terms of the story. A warm hug could easily and in a much more effective way expressed what JJ and every excuser of this scene tries to make it about; there was just no need for the creepy, cringeworthy kiss. A lusty kiss was just so out of place there.

On the other side of the coin, one of the positives of the ST dialogue was the flirty, twinkly eyed banter between Rey and Finn in TFA. But as the novelist for TFA recently said- this was a setup for a relationship. The way it just goes nowhere, or they just turn into best buddies was stupid. It made no sense.

 

At the very most, it should have been a sombre nod of gratitude and acknowledgment from Rey that BeLo had saved her life and had apparently excised his evil ways. I was chuckling when she broke into a grin and gave him a kiss. I was like "Hey, it doesn't bother you some that this guy looks EXACTLY like the guy who has been giving you and your buddies a hard time over the course of 2.8 movies?" Even with the fairytale nature of these movies, it was stretching credibility a bit.

 

I will never forget my best friend's reaction to the Reylo kiss in the cinema: "Jesus Christ...". Someone who has seen with me every SW movie since we were kids, played every videogame. This was a shame for SW as a whole. An utter disgrace.

Which brings me to something that might not be covered in this thread but will have to be discussed at some point: Whill LFL ever have the guts to bring back Ben? I know it will be the most terrible decission ever, specially with all the drums about TROS being the End of the Skywalker Saga. But the bar is so low after the ST one has to be prepared for the worst these days.

 

I really loved the sequels, in spite of their flaws, and I’d love to see Daisy, John and Oscar reprise their roles, but the reality of it is that The Rise of Skywalker felt like a definitive end, as far as I’m concerned. Unless they found a REALLY compelling way that justified continuing the Skywalker saga, I think they need to leave it alone.

As unfortunate as it might sound, I’m almost relieved in a sense that The Rise of Skywalker was criticized like it was — hopefully that will be enough for Lucasfilm to move away from those films and focus on other stuff. There are other ways to continue the story for those characters outside of the films, but I think in terms of the episodic films, The Rise of Skywalker needed to be the end.

A story surrounding Finn, Poe and Rose — or even something with Rey training Finn to be a Jedi — would be interesting, but it doesn’t feel necessary. I kind of like the ambiguity that The Rise of Skywalker ended with, because we know that Rey will continue the legacy left behind by Luke and Leia, and that’s enough. We don’t need to see it. If anything, I think shows like The Mandalorian has showed fans that there is interest in Star Wars beyond the Skywalker saga, which seems like a really good opportunity to tell other stories.

All that being said, though, I’d still love to see the sequel stars return, if the story justified its existence. Otherwise, take Kylo Ren’s advice and let the past die.

 

Great post and dead-on. TFA setup the Fin-Rey thing beautifully. Then....the rest of the sequels happened. Such a waste. Yes, delete that crap from Canon!

If you really step back and assess it, NONE of these three characters got a real arc at all. Including Rey. Poe and Fin got dumped in TLJ and never recovered. For these reasons, all three characters are "dead" to me creatively and no movies that feature them are going to interest me at all. Just a complete debacle how each were handled and/or cast aside. Three movies and we didnt get a real arc or interesting story for any of them. Only Kylo/Ben had something and they ruined that in Rise with one of the most pointless kiss scenes in film history. So stupid and meaningless. Ugh.

 

She found a nude guy named Cobb Vanth in the desert who asked her if she could lend him some clothes.

 

I've heard conflicting things as well. I have heard (by some) that more will be done w/Rey in other media.

 

That makes the most sense in my opinion at this current time. Maybe in ten years if they want to revisit Rey and the future of the Jedi. But if its a current time frame like within a year or so of TROS events. I don't think it really is enough time at least for Rey to become interesting again. Don't get me wrong I still love Rey and I think future down the line Rey stuff could work.

 

I doubt we’ll see them in future films, other than perhaps cameos, but I’d be down for a comic or animated series that concludes the relationship between these two.



Just a sort of epilogue story that wraps up these two characters more, given how close they were in TFA. I think there’s a potentially interesting story about Rey feeling a void with her other half of the dyad gone, like her ‘soulmate’ is gone, and all the while Padawan Finn secretly having strong feelings for Master Rey (and harbouring resentment that she’s so hung up on this psycho who nearly killed them). Maybe Rey needs to learn that some connections and relationship can be even stronger than the force or a dyad.

But other than that, I don’t really need to see Poe and company rebuilding the New New Republic or Rey rebuilding the New New Jedi order especially since we haven’t even really seen that between RoTJ and TFA.

 

My thing is, when they return (which they certainly will short of an apocalypse), it should serve the story that is being told at that time, and should avoid all of the relationship stuff that didn't end up working so well in the ST. Utilize the aspects of these characters/stories that did work or were cool from the ST, as those do exist. There was much hope after TFA, and for some of us, there was hope that TROS would save the ST, but it only made it worse.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of adventure with Poe, Zorii and Babu Frik. I suppose you'd be looking at a Guardians of the Galaxy style adventure.

 

What if they did a parallel story to the events of the sequel trilogy that will eventually cross paths with Rey and Finn future movies? They could make the story about Luke’s surviving padawans eventually coming together vs a new threat. This way it won’t retcon the sequel trilogy(they could fill in some backstory) then it could lead to them uniting with Rey and Finn for a new trilogy. I am sure they could fit Poe in somehow but I think the focus should be on Rey, Finn, Luke’s padawans who escaped the massacre vs new threat. I believe future films with Rey and Finn is inevitable. Just a matter of time.

 

Rey will visit the Mandalore throneroom in the epilogue of The Mandalorian, the final scene of the show to get Grogu to help her restart the Jedi. Save this post.

It'll be the Ahsoka, Sabine scene of the show.

 

I would ******g love that - great idea.

I guess Grogu would be in his mid to late 70's depending how far after TROS the scene is - didn't Yoda start training Jedi aged 100?
If so I guess that'd mean a "grown" Grogu teaching younglings would realistically be within reach story wise!

Seriously, I'd never even considered that before, but now I really want it to happen.
