Star Wars: Episode 8 – The Last Jedi will take the prequels into account and will in fact serve as a major driving force of the plot in the highly-anticipated film.
Although universally maligned in the Star Wars community, the prequels, which focused on Anakin Skywalker’s journey as the Chosen One, will be central in the upcoming sequel.
From what has recently come to light about this all-encompassing prophecy, Star Wars: Episode 8 could be setting up the rise of a successor to the title despite the assumption that this designation belongs to Anakin and Anakin only.
According to the hardworking Star Wars watcher and YouTuber Mike Zeroh, the prequel homage director Rian Johnson injected in Star Wars: Episode 8 will directly tie into the story of Rey (Daisy Ridley).
Since the prequels centered on Anakin being the Chosen One, Zeroh speculates this concept will be at play once again in Star Wars: Episode 8 with the film positioning Rey as the potential character inheriting the title.
