STAR WARS: DAISY RIDLEY’S NEXT MOVIE UPDATE

Daisy Ridley is set to reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars film, tentatively titled ‘Star Wars: New Jedi Order.’ This movie, announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023, will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Initially, Steven Knight was attached as the writer, but he has recently departed the project. The film is planned to take place 15 years after the events of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ and will mark the beginning of a new era for the Jedi Order.

SCREEN RANT: Daisy Ridley has implied that Star Wars: New Jedi Order could be the beginning of a new series. The upcoming Star Wars: New Jedi Order, which does not have an official title announced, was being written by Steven Knight, who has since departed, and has Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy attached to direct. It is set to feature the return of Ridley’s sequel trilogy character Rey, who debuted in 2015’s The Force Awakens and has not appeared in the live-action franchise since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, which is the most recent feature-length installment in the series at the time of writing.

In a recent profile with The Hollywood Reporter, Daisy Ridley spoke about her upcoming Star Wars project. She reflected on it being “scary” to return to the role of Rey after more than five years, but said that “it’ll be interesting to come back to someone who I know so well.” However, the most telling part of her quote was describing the upcoming project as “the new one/new ones.”

Filming for the movie is expected to start sometime in 2025, according to Ridley’s hints in recent interviews. However, the project has faced some setbacks, including the loss of its writer, which has delayed the setting of a release date. Despite rumors of a Christmas 2026 release, Ridley has clarified that no official date has been set, emphasizing that the creative team is ensuring everything is ready before proceeding. Disney has reserved several release dates for Star Wars movies in 2026 and 2027, but the exact slot for ‘New Jedi Order’ remains uncertain.

The movie’s development has been ongoing since its announcement in 2023, with Ridley expressing her excitement about the story and the direction of the new Jedi Order. As Lucasfilm navigates the scheduling and creative aspects of the project, fans remain hopeful that the movie will live up to their expectations and mark a new chapter in the Star Wars universe. While the film’s release date is still to be determined, it’s important to note that any connection to significant franchise anniversaries, such as the 50th anniversary of ‘A New Hope,’ is purely speculative at this point.
