As we know, Rey’s story is far from over. But with this knowledge comes questions about what we’ll discover when following Rey on her adventures once more.

Here’s a reminder of where Rey’s story left off inStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

It’s already been quietly confirmed thatRey’s father isn’t who we thought, so that’s one mystery down. And we were shocked to learn thatRey’s mum was inThe Mandalorianand we just missed it; so, what else is there we need to know?

Quite a bit, actually.

Thanks to the events ofThe Bad Batchseason two (a highly underappreciated show, we must say), there’s a new order that has fans curious about its intentions.

The Ancients caused quite a stir inThe Bad Batch, leaving some to posit that the sect isn’t quite finished yet.

It rather nicely leaves this unknown group as an ideal villain for Rey. What is more, fans theorise that, due to The Ancients’ war machine bearing similarities toJedi: Fallen Order’s Zeffo, the canon lore of the game would integrate nicely into the lore of the films.
