Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" project starring Daisy Ridley has hit a few snags since it was announced in 2023, losing the original writing team of Damon Lindelof ("Lost", "Prometheus", The Leftovers") and Justin Britt-Gibson ("The Strain"). The writers reportedly turned in a draft of their script before leaving, while their replacement Steven Knight ("Peaky Blinders") worked on the script for over a year before exiting in 2024.
The studio has now hired George Nolfi ("Ocean's 12", "The Borne Ultimatum") to pen the script for the film. Tentatively titled "Star Wars: New Jedi Order", the film will follow Rey (Ridley) as she oversees a new class of Jedi knights. The film will be the feature directorial debut for Oscar-winning documentarian Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. It does not have a confirmed release date.
In the meantime, Jon Favreau"s "The Mandalorian & Grogu" is gearing up for a May 22, 2026 release, and Shawn Levy's "Star Wars" movie is already in the casting stage.
