Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker – Richard E. Grant’s Character Named, Could He Be a Rival Of General Hux?

We’ve known for some time that Richard E. Grant would be appearing in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but we hadn’t been given any details on who he might be playing? I would have guessed that Grant was playing an Imperial….sorry…First Order officer, simply because that seems like the perfect role for Grant to get his teeth into. Yeah, it’s the stereotypical British bad guy, but as a Brit I have to say, we do produce the bestestest baddies around.

Turns out, I was 100% correct as a recent Vanity Fair article has revealed the character Grant is playing is called Allegiant General Pryde. I’ll admit despite my extensive Star Wars nerd credentials, I cannot say what an Allegiant General is. However, as the outlet’s article points out themselves, no one knew what a Grand Moff was in 1977.

Will Pryde be a rival to General Hux, is an Allegiant General higher up than a General? Who knows, but we can speculate that perhaps not all will be sunny for General Hux in this movie. Hux and Ren were very much rivals for the favor of Snoke, until Ren killed him and took the position of Supreme Leader in the First Order.  Though, perhaps Hux and Pryde could be allies in a movement against Supreme Leader Ren in this movie? I guess we’ll find out come December.

What do you think of Grant being confirmed as a First Order General, interesting, or too obvious? Get in rank and file for the comments section down below.
