The Future of Star Wars...a theory:
Anyone else wonder if they decided to end the saga this way because they want us to be deeply invested in whatever else could be coming down the line for Rey and Ben and the rest of our ST characters? I mean...it seems like a pretty corporate thing to do.
We have strong evidence that a different ending was filmed—changing that ending to be more “ambiguous” could have easily been a late decision made to keep possibilities for other stories open. An ending like the one we we given in TRoS keeps people talking—it leaves people wondering what could be. And when DLF announces that a new story is continuing on with our ST characters (Rey, Ben, Rose, Finn, Poe and the rest of the gang) people will be more than ready to roll.
But the Skywalker Saga is over. Where do we go from here?:
Yes, the Skywalker Saga has ended...in the sense that the nostalgic-ridden story that lives in the shadow of our OT characters has ended. LF closed the book on the Skywalker Saga and gave “traditional” OT lovers the nostalgic film they wanted to “satisfy” them at the end of their nine film storyline. Rey literally laid The Skywalker legacy to rest by burying the family sabers.
But now, our new characters that were introduced in the ST don’t have to live with the shadow of Luke, Leia, Han, and Lando looming over them—These characters can grow and change and have their own story arcs separate from the OT characters. Gone are the days of catering to the OT audience—it’s time for a new generation of stories.
Do I think our OT characters will be erased and never talked about again? Of course not! But this isn’t their story anymore. Star Wars is about a new generation now. 💜
There is so much left open for us to explore: Rey’s story arc isn’t complete—she still has to finish her heroine’s journey. Ben Solo isn’t dead. He’s somewhere in the Great Unknown—the World Between Worlds was introduced for a reason. There can be no balance without the Dyad together—Ben and arey must reunite. Finn is Force Sensitive—there is so much to explore there! And Rose, Jannah and Poe all have stories brewing, too.
I’m excited for the future. Wether these stories are explored in comics, novels, animation, Live Action TV shows, or (we can all hope) films—I am ready for any of it. I’m craving these stories. So many of us are.
all too well / happiness

“Always remember this—you weren’t born to fit in, you were born to chase the stars. You were born because you have a purpose and your first task is to find it deep within yourself to eventually fulfill the greatest goal which is becoming who you are. You are similar to a wolf that’s part of the whole wild. There is genius in you, and you are far too breathtakingly beautiful to ask yourself whether or not you are enough. The real question is if you love yourself enough to make yourself feel that you’re worth anything or not. And that question takes a lot of searching. Searching through different mindsets and philosophies on a day to day basis. So many people don’t search and just live life blindly. So please—begin the search. Create your life in the pursuit of excellence. Prove something as you dive into the depths of your lonely fucked up being. Don’t take anything for granted and most important of all: be grateful. Practice it because you are not a stranger here. Just like the flowers giving oxygen to the earth. Just like the sun giving warmth to all creatures. You just have to know and feel the reason as to why you belong. Because this is your home.”
