STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI - Lucasfilm President Cautions Not All Questions Will Be Answered
If not all of the questions from The Force Awakens are going to be answered in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which revelations are you hoping Rian Johnson discloses and which are best left for Episode IX?
Lucasfilm President and Brand Manager Kathleen Kennedy was a recent guest on The Star Wars YouTube show and followed up praise for director Rian Johnson with a word of caution for the fandom. "I think [Rian's] done an exceptional job of taking these new characters and some of the legacy characters and moving us to this next place," said Kennedy via LRM. She continued, "He doesn’t answer all the questions, I will say that up front. But there are certain questions he does answer in a really wonderfully provocative way, and I think there’ll be some surprises that people aren’t expecting."
Surely details on Rey's parentage will be revealed in The Last Jedi...right? Given the nature of the planned trilogy, most fans expected some secrets and surprises to be saved for the finale but the mystery of Daisy Ridley's Rey is such a pressing topic that the backlash from withholding that particular information until 2019 might create unprecedented blowback in the Star Wars franchise.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in theaters on December 15, 2017 while Episode IX is presently still slated to arrive on December 20, 2019, despite J.J. Abrams returning to take over directorial duties from Colin Trevorrow earlier this year.
