Upcoming Star Wars Sequel: In the realm of Star Wars, the sequel trilogy carried the weight of sky-high expectations, yet the clash of creative visions between J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson left the audience divided. Recently, Lucasfilm revealed plans for a sequel to the sequels, directed by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and featuring Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey Skywalker. Set 15 years after the Skywalker Saga’s conclusion, this new chapter will delve into Rey’s journey in rebuilding the New Jedi Order amid emerging threats.
As we eagerly anticipate this next installment, it’s worth considering which characters should gracefully bow out, either due to a lack of narrative potential or, frankly, because they didn’t quite captivate. Brace yourself for some surprises, as the choices may not align with expectations.
One visually striking yet ultimately underwhelming character from the sequel trilogy is Zorii Bliss. Aesthetically, she exudes mystery and enigma, reminiscent of the iconic appeal of Boba Fett from the original Star Wars trilogy. However, the parallels end there, as Zorii’s character lacked depth.
Keri Russell delivered a commendable performance given her material, but the attempt to shoehorn her into the role of an old ally and love interest for Poe Dameron felt like a forced endeavor to explore a character with only surface-level development. Zorii seemed more like a merchandise strategy than an integral part of the narrative, and further exploration of her character appears unnecessary.
It’s regrettable, as one can’t help but imagine a more compelling version of the spice runner, potentially resurfacing as an unexpected ally for Rey. Nevertheless, in the vast galaxy of Star Wars, some characters may need to fade into the background to allow the narrative to flourish.
