These new Star Wars movies come with a story about the founding of the Jedi, a film that will serve as the end of this era of interconnected Disney shows, and the Return. of Rey through Daisy Ridley. In addition, in January 2024, Lucasmovie also announced that a fourth new film, The Mandalorian, would be coming to theaters
And with that, the galaxy far, far away nevertheless returns to the big screen. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy revealed that James Mangold (Logan, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka) and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel, Saving Face) had been tapped to create those new stars. Wars. cinema. Meanwhile, Jon Favreau will take over the Mando movie. Plus, if what Patty Jenkins says is true, he will also be directing an upcoming Star Wars movie. And despite everything, it seems that Shawn Levy will also direct a Star Wars movie.
Levy spoke briefly about the film and appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast in August. Fresh out of Deadpool
“. . . there are only so many times Star Wars movies can revisit the same segment of the timeline, and that forced me, because I don’t need to make a Star Wars movie that’s redundant to others, and that doesn’t interest me either.
While Lucasfilm has shared some official main points about the films, the little they tell us speaks volumes. Here’s what we know about those new Star Wars movies.

James Mangold’s film will “hark back to dawn of the Jedi,” a time set tens of thousands of years before anything we’ve seen on screen before. This may mean that we will meet the character known as Jedi Prime. This is the user who founded the Order in Ahch-To some 25,000 years before the events of A New Hope. Fans are already familiar with Ahch-To. They first saw him in The Last Jedi when he served as Luke Skywalker’s hideout. He also shares, “James Mangold will take audiences into the depths of the past, telling the story of the first Jedi who wielded the Force and used it as a liberating force in an era of chaos and oppression. “
Mangold further noted to Empire that his new Star Wars movie “takes place 25,000 years before Episode IV and is about the discovery of the Force. ” He also shares: “I told Kathy [Kennedy, director of Lucasfilm] that I wanted to make some kind of biblical movie, like The Ten Commandments of Star Wars, a Cecil B. DeMille kind of movie about the arrival of the Force, and that That’s what I picked up between the press events. That’s the idea.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, playwright and filmmaker Beau Willimon will co-write the script with Mangold. In addition to his drama career and his Emmy-nominated screenplays for House of Cards, Willimon also wrote the first-season Andor crime trilogy. Writing the most productive episodes of the most productive Star Wars series is truly intelligent faith.
Kennedy also recently said that this film will help tell the new Star Wars movie starring Rey’s return. She told Total Film: “I think it’s a huge compliment to what we’re doing in the long run with Rey and understanding where everything comes from a little bit more,” she explains. “Because he will be at the center of the creation of the new Jedi Order, having a genuine idea of where Dawn of the Jedi might have started could be pretty cool. ”
According to a new official Star Wars era list revealed via LucasFilm, this movie will likely take place in the “Dawn of the Jedi” era, but it’s possible it will even take place faster than that.
The next new Star Wars movie will come from franchise veteran Dave Filoni. His film “will focus on the New Republic and close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and other Disney series. ” Great news for Lucasmovie television and film. When we have a release date for Filoni’s film, we’ll know how many more seasons of The Mandalorian we could see. Obviously, the end of Din Djarin and Grogu’s story is already in sight. However, we assume they could continue beyond a climactic movie. An extra says: “Dave Filoni will orchestrate the escalation of the war between the Imperial Remnant and the nascent New Republic. “
The third and final new Star Wars movie announced will arrive in the future. Obaid-Chinoy’s film will take a place after The Rise of Skywalker. This will mark the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey. Taking a stand 15 years after the final defeat of the Sith, she will attempt to build a new Jedi Order. Hopefully, this goes far beyond the attempts of her mentor Luke Skywalker. Based on the new Star Wars era listing, it looks like this movie will be set in the “New Jedi Order” era.
Kathleen Kennedy shared more about this with Variety, noting:
Well, we’re 15 years away from “The Rise of Skywalker,” so we’re in the post-war period, in the post-First Order, and the Jedi are in disarray. There’s a lot of discussion surrounding the question, “Who are the Jedi?”What are they doing? What is the state of the galaxy?She’s looking to rebuild the Jedi Order, in the books, in what she promised Luke, so that’s where we’re going.
Speaking to Empire, Kennedy added, “The First Order has fallen, the Jedi are in chaos (it even raises the question of how many are left), and Rey is building the New Jedi Order, founded on the text that was given to her and that Luke passed on to her. She also adds, “Rey made a promise to Luke, and that’s the core of where we’re going and what this story is going to be. And I think it provides a great opportunity to introduce new characters and start with something new, because we culminated with what George [Lucas] was creating, and now we’re taking all of that and moving it to the next chapter.
Regarding the imaginable presence of Luke Skywalker in the new Star Wars movie, Kennedy said: “I don’t know if we’re going to spend a lot of time on flashbacks or [on] Force ghosts or things like that, but certainly, the spirit of what what he represents to her will be meaningful.
Ridley in the past noted: “I know some things. . . I know there is an arrival of new characters. . . I don’t know the past characters. But I also don’t rule out someone returning. When asked about the popular concept of The Finn of John Boyega returns as Jedi in new Star Wars movie, Ridley responded: “It’s above my pay grade. [Laughs] I’d love to see that, but it’s not a resolution for me. He also recently told The Hollywood Reporter. that she felt she and Boyega would reunite in the film, noting, “Absolutely, of course. . . It seems like WeArray, yeah. “
But Ridley has some information, according to Empire, “she knows that the story surpasses what the new movie will be. “And, in May 2024, he notes that he has not yet read a script “but is about to replace it imminently”.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy added of the new Star Wars movie: “At the center, for me, is Rey Skywalker, Daisy Ridley and her story, and taking her on an adventure to a Jedi Academy and somehow creating a world. It’s a natural complement to the story that saw his experience in the last three episodes.
Obaid-Chinoy also adds, “I’ve had conversations with J. J. Abrams. I’ve had conversations with George Lucas and, of course, Dave Filoni, who is now an integral component of the Star Wars universe. Kathy Kennedy, Carrie Beck and Simon Emanuel: I think the team takes the time to make sure they do justice to Daisy’s story.
But will Rey’s upcoming Star Wars movie continue the franchise’s usual trend of introducing new characters similar in some way to other characters in the world?Daisy Ridley doesn’t think so. Speaking to Deadline, Ridley noted that it seemed unlikely that Rey would have children in the new Star Wars film. She shared, “I would say she probably doesn’t have any young children since she’s a Jedi. “Of course, we know hypothetically that Rey may still have children, like Anakin before her, but it turns out that might not be the direction of the film.
Daisy Ridley also notes that Rey will choose someone other than Luke Skywalker to train the next generation of Jedi. Speaking to Den of Geek, she says of Rey’s tactics deviating from Luke’s: “I would say, from what I understand, yes. Short answer.
Daisy Ridley told Collider: “I’m very excited. The story is great. I’m waiting to read a script because obviously I don’t have any other updates. It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited. And she also told The Hollywood Reporter : “I’m very excited about the next [Star Wars movie]. I haven’t read anything, I still know the story. It’s definitely worth telling, exploring, and I think other people will be excited.
The actress also presented some additional main points about the film to AlloCiné. He said of the upcoming Rey Star Wars movie: “Once I knew what the story was and everything, I knew it was everything I wanted to do. I think it’s a fantastic exploration of the world of Star Wars. It’s a great way to approach the story in a slightly different direction. In conclusion, as Ridley pointed out to Variety, the story of this Star Wars movie is “great. “
Ridley also recently shared that he feels more fit to be King this time around. “I guess I feel like I own it more. ” I guess I had it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now. In fact, at that moment I didn’t feel like an adult. Obviously, on a user level, things have changed and on a professional level, I’ve had many other experiences, so I definitely feel like this time is different. There is a lot of joy with me and with those movies. Honestly, if I wasn’t excited, I wouldn’t have done it. It’s a wonderful thing to be a part of. However, the actress also said that reprising the role may just be a strange experience, saying: “Honestly, I’ve had moments where I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I’ll ever forget what I do [as King]… It’s weird. I think everything will be very different anyway, with a completely different team. I’m in a very different position than I was, I’m probably going to be one of the adults, and first of all I was the youngest user on the set, which. It’s a strange feeling.
Meanwhile, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy told CNN, “I’m really excited about the task because I think what we’re about to create is something very special. . . We are now in 2024 and it is time for them to give us a spouse. Come and shape a story in a galaxy far, far away.
We couldn’t agree more. But everything tells us that it may not be easy sailing for Rey. The dark aspect of the Force has a way of casting shadows over the galaxy far and wide, especially in movie theaters.
The director also added: “The story that interests me the most is Rey’s adventure as a female Jedi. This is how I can contribute my experiences in the most productive way.
The filming date for Rey’s next Star Wars movie has already been announced. According to Productionlist. com, which tracks production updates for the Film & Television Industry Alliance, filming for the movie Rey will begin on April 7, 2024 in London. Hopefully, this means we’ll have casting news soon.

However, according to Gizmodo, Lucasmovie has shown that the film is still moving forward without any problems. In a publication, a source from Lucasmovie noted, “Knight continues to write and be a part of the process. In fact, the company is waiting for its latest edition as you read this.
