Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was meant as one thing of a love letter to the historical past of the saga, and a method that this factored into the plot was within the presence of Force Ghosts – or, not less than, Force Voices. Throughout her climactic battle along with her evil grandpappy Palpatine, Rey was spoken to by the spirits of many Jedi who had gone earlier than her – everybody from Anakin Skywalker to Ahsoka Tano.
This subtly upturns beforehand established details about how Force Ghosts work, although. Within the previous EU/now Legends tales, a Jedi may solely grow to be a Force Ghost for a short time period earlier than passing over into one other airplane of existence. The voices Rey heard appear to verify this isn’t the case in fashionable canon, nevertheless. The Rise novelization confirms this and goes even additional, revealing that Leia obtained messages from Obi-Wan and Yoda which helped her be taught concerning the Force.
This can be a fairly large deal, because it confirms that Force Ghosts can act as mentors to the following era of Jedi. ScreenRant has prompt that this might even show key to the renewed Jedi Order that Rey will little doubt arrange following the occasions of Episode IX.
Bear in mind, Luke and Leia’s ghosts are with Rey within the film’s last scene, when she buries their lightsabers on Tatooine. What if the Skywalker twins stay by Rey’s facet and assist her in coaching up different Force-sensitives from across the galaxy – like Finn (probably) and that child with the broom from The Final Jedi?
Clearly, Leia’s character will seemingly be rested out of respect for Carrie Fisher, however this leaves the door open for Mark Hamill, not less than, to return in some sort of follow-up movie primarily based round Rey. There might be one already within the works, too. Like Luke says in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, a thousand generations of Jedi stay in Rey now. However it might most likely be useful if a few of them may assist with the educating.
