If there is going to be a Kenobi season 2 then they have to explore stories about Obi-Wan and force ghost Qui-Gon, Quinlan Vos and the path and Darth Vader chasing them across the galaxy (It's doable for a fast paced 6 episodes lol)

Ian McDiarmid Defends Palpatine’s Return In Rise Of Skywalker: ‘He Always Had A Plan B’ – Exclusive
https://www.empireonline.com/movies/...ker-exclusive/"A lot of people said it was ridiculous,” he says. “Of course, he was dead at the end of Return Of The Jedi! And frankly, I think George thought he’d killed me too. But J.J. thought it would be a good idea – I wasn’t going to argue with him.” Still, if there’s anyone who might be able to pull off a return from beyond the grave, it might just be Palpatine. “I felt that Palpatine always had a plan B – probably a plan C, D, E, and F as well,” McDiarmid reasons. “And he was an expert in cloning, so…
Just, don’t take the existence of Daisy Ridley’s Rey – revealed to be Palpatine’s granddaughter in The Rise Of Skywalker – as proof that the Emperor liked to… well… do it. “Please don’t pursue that line too vigorously,” says McDiarmid. “But yes, he does [have sex]. It’s a horrible idea to think of Palpatine having sex in any shape or form. But then, of course, perhaps he didn’t.” (Canonically, Rey’s father Dathan was a failed ‘strand-cast’ clone of the Emperor, rather than a genetic offspring.) “Maybe it’s all to do with midi-chlorians – and don’t ask me what those are,” McDiarmid continues. “Never trust your granddaughter. That’s the T-shirt Palpatine got made. Shortly after his death.” The Palpatine family reunion is sure to be an awkward one.

The problem is that the execution was horrible. Frankly Dark Empire (the first one) did it better and had a better story.
And I frankly liked the idea of Palpatine as her grandfather. It's just that the execution for the entire movie was lacking. They absolutely need two movies to build up to this and they didn't have it since that wasn't their original plan and only occurred after Rian killed off Snoke.
A lot of DE's strength was also showing Leia grow as a Jedi.
One great bit is her giving Palpatine the death glare and breaking his bed when he threatens the unborn Anakin.
Granted, like the movies the novels largely ditched that storyline with her becoming a politician/rebel leader again, not really fully doing the Jedi stuff again until the Legacy novels.

Maybe a bit OT but Gareth Edwards (Rogue One) is directing the next Jurassic Park/World.

They usually do this with the current Star Wars thing, I think 2015 it was Finn on Jakku, 2019 had Lando ask for help on Exegol etc. not sure about the other ones.

Angela Bassett might be cast as the villain in the Rey film.
While the animation Disney+ stuff and EU has had some pretty good female villains there's never been one in the films apart from henchmen who didn't show up for long (Zam) or wasted ones like Phasma.
