Now, in case you haven’t heard yet, the next Star Wars film is said to be set post-sequel trilogy, although it remains unclear if familiar faces from the polarizing Episodes VII, VIII, and IX will make appearances in the upcoming project. Well, a new rumor seems to shed light on Lucasfilm’s plans for the film and it will reportedly feature the return of one surprising character.According to a new scoop from Giant Freakin Robot, Adam Driver will reprise his role as Kylo Ren in Damon Lindelof and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s upcoming film. The outlet’s source claims that Driver will play a Force ghost version of Kylo which seems to suggest that the project will take place at least 10 years after The Rise of Skywalker.Also Read: Daisy Ridley Confirms Meeting with Lucasfilm But Quickly Dismissed Star Wars ReturnMeanwhile, Daisy Ridley sparked speculation last week after revealing that she was at Lucasfilm’s headquarters.
