- The text emphasizes honor and mentorship over bloodline, offering a clearer motive for the character’s final choice.
- Marvel’s recent comic adaptation added new visuals to a climactic scene, continuing Lucasfilm’s use of tie‑ins to refine how audiences read the film’s ending.
- Separate industry signs have stirred unconfirmed talk of the long‑discussed Rey movie, including Daisy Ridley exiting another project, a U.K. casting call by Nina Gold, and John Boyega saying he has spoken with Dave Filoni.
