In a surprising turn of events, Rey, one of the most prominent characters in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, will not be included in the upcoming Star Wars edition of Monopoly. Despite promises that she would be part of the iconic board game, the decision to leave Rey out has sparked disappointment among fans. According to reports, the decision was made due to “insufficient interest” in the character, a reasoning that has many fans scratching their heads.
Rey, portrayed by Daisy Ridley, has been at the heart of the latest Star Wars films, leading a new generation of heroes in the saga. Her absence from the Star Wars Monopoly set seems to fly in the face of the character’s central role in the most recent trilogy. While other classic characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Yoda are present, Rey’s exclusion raises questions about the shifting dynamics of Star Wars fandom and the merchandise market.
For many fans, this decision feels like a missed opportunity to celebrate one of Star Wars‘ most groundbreaking female protagonists. Rey was not only a symbol of strength and resilience but also represented a new era for the franchise. The exclusion has sparked discussions on social media, with many voicing their disappointment over the franchise’s failure to recognize her lasting impact.
Despite the controversy, the Star Wars Monopoly set will continue to include fan-favorite characters from all corners of the galaxy. However, Rey’s absence highlights a growing concern among some fans that Star Wars may be overlooking some of the newer characters in favor of the old guard. As the debate continues, it’s clear that Rey’s omission from the game is a conversation that won’t be going away anytime soon.
