We might not have had a model new Star Wars movie since 2019, nevertheless there’s been no shortage of movie info flying in from that galaxy far, far-off in newest months. There’s been converse of a model new Simon Kinberg trilogy, affirmation that James Mangold’s Dawn Of The Jedi will seemingly be set 25,000 years sooner than The Phantom Menace, and even the curveball potential casting of Ryan Gosling in Shawn Levy’s secretive Star Wars enterprise. And now THR are reporting that Disney’s New Jedi Order movie with Daisy Ridley has launched aboard Ocean’s Twelve and The Bourne Ultimatum writer George Nolfi.
As likelihood is you may recall, once more in October we reported that director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s hotly anticipated movie — a film set 15 years after the events of The Rise Of Skywalker that is anticipated to centre spherical a now-Jedi Grasp Rey as she trains up a, correctly, new Jedi Order — had misplaced screenwriter Steven Knight. Then, not even a month later, we found that Disney and Lucasfilm had eradicated an untitled Star Wars movie from its December 2026 slate, leading to cacophonous on-line speculation over the way in which ahead for Obaid-Chinoy’s film. With that in ideas, the hiring of a model new scribe — and a constructive pair of arms like The Adjustment Bureau and The Banker writer-director Nolfi notably — comes as a welcome sign that this isn’t destined to develop to be merely one different thrilling Star Wars enterprise that’s fallen by the wayside. (A second’s silence for Patty Jenkins’ on, delayed, sort-of off, very off, at current sort-of-on-again Rogue Squadron movie please.)
Now, with Jon Favreau’s currently wrapped The Mandalorian & Grogu nonetheless on observe to hit its 22 May, 2026 theatrical launch date and Shawn Levy’s potential Ryan Gosling enterprise now being positioned to fill that once-scrubbed Christmas 2026 spot in Disney’s launch schedule, it may nonetheless be a wee whereas sooner than we see the big show display screen return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker. Nonetheless good points come to people who wait, and if New Jedi Order (as every social media and leisure retailers alike seem to have collectively christened it) winds up landing in multiplexes in 2027, then we’ll have waited a protracted 4 years for it. Be with me (New Jedi Order), be with me (New Jedi Order), be with me (New Jedi Order)… correctly, it was worth a shot, wasn’t it?
