Which Star Wars Cast & Crew Could Return For New Jedi Order

There are no other Star Wars cast members confirmed to return with Daisy Ridley for Star Wars: New Jedi Order. John Boyega and Oscar Isaac have both been more open to returning as Finn and Poe Dameron as more time has passed from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, so they could be back in some capacity.

When Star Wars’ New Jedi Order Movie Will Release

Lucasfilm did not officially announce a Star Wars: New Jedi Order release date. The next available date on Disney’s slate is December 19, 2025, so Rey’s return in Star Wars: New Jedi Order could come by then if it is the next movie on the docket.
