I doubt that Rey movie will ever be made. Didn't they already bump it down the schedule so they could fast track the Ryan Gosling movie? Time that movie is out, Kennedy will likely be gone and someone new will be put in charge developing projects she or he wants to do.

Well, they never gave it a release date, but they did announce it years before the Gosling movie, so, I guess you could say they bumped it down from a certain point of view...

I'd say there's at least 50% odds there'll be a Rey movie at some point. (How big a role Gosling would have in it, now, maybe that's the question. )

I doubt that Rey movie will ever be made.

Admitting they hired the wrong director will probably require the use of Bor Gullet or maybe the Dr. Gorst technique.

 

[Jayson1]

My theory is the Ryan Gosling character will be sort of like Tony Stark was to the MCU. A foundation character to a bunch of new movies that connect but are also no longer reliant on the classic movies as much as most Trek has been under Kennedy. While they might not do another trilogy in the way we think of them, I could see them doing sequel movies to the Ryan Gosling movie, if it is a hit.

It just dawned on me while watching the video that Mon Mothma is the only member of the early Rebel leadership who actually survived to see the Empire defeated.
The Organas died on Alderaan, Luthen was killed by Kleya, and Draven and Dodonna both died at during The Battle of Mak-To in the comics.

And the woman looks almost exactly the same 7 years after the Battle of Endor as she did eleven years before that.

Not quite. R2 and C-3PO were around and also Admiral Ackbar.

 

[Set Harth]

R2 and C-3PO are hardly Rebel leadership.

 

[cooleddie74]

Was Ackbar there early on, though, or did he come over as a full-time member after the Battle of Yavin?

 

[JD]

I'm pretty sure he was recruited in the comics between A New Hope & Empire Strikes Back.

Not quite. R2 and C-3PO were around and also Admiral Ackbar.

R2 and C-3PO are hardly Rebel leadership.

Yeah, I don't think R2 and 3PO really had any role in the Rebellion until Leia hid the plans with R2, and even after that I don't know if they really took an active enough role in any of the missions and battles they were part of to be considered part of the Rebel leadership. They pretty much just got dragged along with Luke, Leia, and Han.

 

[Ithekro]

Mothma and Ahsoka are some of the few Clone Wars era rebels to survive the Empire. Mon being part of the Delegation of 2000, and Ahsoka being an Order 66 survivor that was recruited early by Organa.

 

[Nerys Myk]

R2 and C-3PO are hardly Rebel leadership.

R2 ran that shit!

 

[Ithekro]

R2 is the loyal informant for Organa, and 3PO is the patsy who is there to give R2 an excuse to be there. Chopper is the destroyer of things and lives

 

[cooleddie74]

Chopper and Uncle Harlo are the two greatest villains of the Star Wars universe during that time period.

Ackbar's commanding a small fleet when Alderaan was destroyed in the Squadrons video game. Wookiepedia interprets it as him taking over for Raddus as head of the fleet following Raddus's death.

 

[JD]

Yeah, turns out I was mistaken, I was thinking Leia recruited Ackbar during the Mutiny at Mon Cala storyline in the 2015 comic series, but I checked on Wookiepedia, and that was a different Mon Calamari, and Ackbar was already a part of the Rebellion at that point.
