Daisy Ridley says Rey's Jedi Order will differ from Luke Skywalker's

Daisy Ridley has had plenty to say about the upcoming Star Wars movie that reportedly will center on Rey's efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order. In a recent interview, Ridley said that Rey's Order will differ from her master's, Luke Skywalker.

Ridley made these comments at SXSW while promoting her new film Magpie. The video below comes courtesy of Den of Geek:

In the clip, when asked if Rey would do things differently as a teacher than Luke did, she said: "I would say, from what I understand...yes."

Of course, this is a fairly coy response from Ridley. It is unclear whether an entire script has been written for this project, so Ridley may just be basing her answer on preliminary discussions she has had with the director, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

Of course, it would make sense for Rey's Jedi Order to differ from Luke's. We have only seen glimpses of Luke's Order in movies and TV shows, and it has been sad. The Last Jedi gave us a version of Luke that considered murdering his own nephew in his sleep, a controversial creative decision, to say the least, which led to the dissolution of Luke's Order and to his self-imposed exile.

We can only hope Rey will not repeat that mistake, especially since it struck many fans as a sharp departure from the Luke we knew in the original trilogy.

We also saw in The Book of Boba Fett that Luke apparently still continued the "no attachments" policy that was present in the Old Jedi Order that fell with Order 66. This despite the fact that it could be argued that it was Luke's attachment, or at the very least his compassion, for his father that redeemed Anakin in Return of the Jedi.

Rey will likely learn from these mistakes. As someone with a dark side lineage herself, she will not be so quick to judge or overreact if one of her students shows some affinity for the dark side.

She may also take a more lenient approach to attachment than her predecessors. Her attachment to Ben Solo helped redeem him, and her attachment to her friends like Finn fueled her throughout the sequel trilogy.

The version of Luke we saw in The Last Jedi was also a tough teacher for Rey. He demanded a lot from her and would tease her if she struggled. Rey may be nicer to her students as a result of this experience.

She may also take some of the few positives she gained from Luke. He did sacrifice his life at the end of The Last Jedi for the good of the Resistance, and the version of Luke we saw in The Rise of Skywalker admitted that it was a mistake for him to go into exile while telling her that she was more than her lineage.

In sum, it should come as no surprise that Rey's Jedi Order will differ in many ways from Luke's. Ultimately, that is the goal of all teachers: take the good of what you learned from your master, remove as much of the bad as you can, and do your best to, in the immortal words of Master Yoda, "Pass on what you have learned."
