‘Star Wars: New Jedi Order,’ Starring Daisy Ridley, Shooting in August 2024

October 30, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

According to the SFF Gazette, “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight is aiming to have his latest draft of the new ‘Star Wars’ screenplay finished by the end of this month. Disney has set a deadline to receive it before Christmas Day.

Production was supposed to start in London in April, but it’s been pushed back, due to the strikes, to an August/September start date. The finished product is set for theatrical release on May 22, 2026.

This latest addition to the galactic franchise, rumored to be called “Star Wars: New Jedi Order,” stars Rey (Daisy Ridley), is rumored to take place 15 years after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” with Ridley’s Rey attempting to create a new Jedi Order.

The good news is that Knight, a talented screenwriter, is penning the new movie, while Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will be taking over directing duties.

Who is Obaid-Chinoy? She’s a Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker who directed Disney’s “Ms. Marvel” and is also known for her activist work in films that highlight gender inequality against women.

There hasn’t been an actual Star Wars movie since 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker.” A planned trilogy from ‘The Last Jedi’ director Rian Johnson, originally announced in 2017, has been put in the backburner. Also, a few months ago, Star Wars projects from Benioff/Weiss, Kevin Feige and Patty Jenkins were nixed by LucasFilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy.

There are plenty of fans who are still upset with how the last trilogy turned out, this has put a major dent on the entire franchise. Star Wars lost many diehards who vowed never to return — they would rather rewatch Lucas’ prequels on repeat.
