Finn - The Jedi Master
One of the most teased characters in the Star Wars sequels, Finn, portrayed by John Boyega, showed great potential as a Jedi. However, his journey was largely sidelined, leaving fans wanting more. In Rey's new Jedi Order movie, Finn's return as a powerful Jedi master alongside Rey could correct this missed opportunity. With the timeline set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, it's conceivable that Finn has completed his training, making him a pivotal character in helping Rey re-establish the Jedi Order.

Rose Tico - A Leader in the Galaxy
Rose Tico, portrayed by Kelly Marie Tran, had significant potential in the sequel trilogy but was ultimately sidelined. The new Star Wars movie provides an opportunity to expand Rose's story, positioning her as a key figure in the rebuilding of the galaxy. With glimpses of Rose in a position of authority in The Rise of Skywalker, she is primed to take on a Leia-like role, leading the galaxy as it emerges from the shadows of the First Order.

Poe Dameron - A Resilient Companion
Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron, a fan favorite and integral part of the sequels' main trio, is poised to return if Finn and Rose are in the movie. Poe's return would not only make sense in the context of the story but would also provide a familiar and resilient companion for Rey. With exceptional pilot skills and a high rank in the Resistance, Poe's presence would be a valuable asset in Rey's new Jedi Order movie.
