The Force Awakens,” featuring Kylo Ren’s striking crossguard saber, an electrifying duel, and the poignant scene where the iconic Skywalker lightsaber was handed to Rey.
In the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi, despite some criticism towards the movie overall, things remained strong. One of the most innovative scenes was the lightsaber battle between Rey and Kylo against the Praetorian Guards, which skillfully blended style with emotional depth. The movie made a daring choice by shattering the Skywalker lightsaber, an act that could have signified a fresh start, but The Rise of Skywalker reversed this decision. Instead of giving Rey a unique Jedi weapon, the film reverted to the traditional. When it eventually did provide her with a distinctive yellow lightsaber in the finale of The Rise of Skywalker, it was only briefly lit for a mere 10 seconds.
Rey’s New Movie Can Improve On The Rise of Skywalker’s Yellow Lightsaber
Exciting news! It appears that Daisy Ridley will be reprising her role as Rey in an upcoming film, this time set within the New Jedi Order. Fingers crossed that the movie gets produced! A fantastic chance arises to rectify a previous oversight – the underutilization of Rey’s yellow lightsaber. This means we can finally witness its use in various scenarios, including training sequences and real-life combat scenes. Whether or not the movie’s adversaries also wield lightsabers remains to be seen.
In addition to its practical aspects, crafting the lightsaber can provide a richer narrative regarding its significance. Scenes from “The Rise of Skywalker” showing Rey constructing it were overlooked opportunities. It wouldn’t be fitting for the New Jedi Order to build it, but it could enhance our understanding of the color’s symbolism. The way she uses the saber will reveal aspects of her character, her growth, and her identity as a Jedi. Essentially, the yellow lightsaber can serve as a tangible representation of her personal journey, her autonomy, and her legacy.
The legacy is significant, too. Despite choosing the last name Skywalker, it’s Rey who truly stands out in the New Jedi Order film. Her distinctive yellow lightsaber, marked by its color unlike other Skywalkers and a staff-crafted hilt, symbolizes her dual identities: scavenger and Jedi, as well as connections to the Skywalkers, Palpatine, and no one. The yellow saber suggests balance, which Rey might embrace as a guide for the next generation of Jedi. With her lightsaber, she can guide them into a new era, establishing a New Jedi Order that moves beyond traditional teachings, illuminating their path ahead.
Rey’s New Jedi Order film has not been scheduled for release as of now. The upcoming Star Wars movie is titled “The Mandalorian and Grogu” set to premiere on May 22nd, 2026, followed by “Star Wars: Starfighter” on May 28th, 2027.
