The project, revealed by Kennedy with fanfare 3 years agone astatine Star Wars Celebration 2023, is planned to diagnostic the instrumentality of Daisy Ridley arsenic Rey Skywalker, and uncover however the quality founds a caller epoch of the Jedi Order.

"These are things, arsenic you tin imagine, surely looking astatine what Dave [Filoni]'s been doing with Ahsoka, that'll beryllium astatine slightest six, 7 years gathering to what it is we're going to beryllium doing successful a movie. As [for the task being made by] Sharmeen, we've been moving connected that for a mates years already."

Discussing the standalone Rey movie's crippled successful much detail, Kennedy described it arsenic acceptable 15 years aft Rise of Skywalker. "We're post-war, post-First Order, and the Jedi are successful disarray, and there's a batch of treatment astir who are the Jedi, what are they doing, what's the authorities of the galaxy?" Kennedy teased. "[Rey is] attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order based connected the books, based connected what she promised Luke."

Of course, this isn't the lone task expected to diagnostic Rey successful the future. Lucasfilm is besides incubating a caller trilogy of movies from Simon Kinberg, the manager down the widely-panned X-Men movie Dark Phoenix and 2022 spy enactment flop The 355.

Perhaps notably, The Hollywood Reporter suggested successful precocious 2024 that Rey's aboriginal had subsequently go a substance of statement wrong Lucasfilm, arsenic aggregate projects from antithetic directors sought to marque usage of the character. And portion Kinberg's trilogy was past earlier successful development, it was noted that Obaid-Chinoy's standalone movie had suffered setbacks, including the departure of writer Steven Knight.

By mode of contrast, Kinberg's trilogy was discussed again by Kennedy this week — though it excessively present seems to person faced upheaval.

"[Kinberg] wrote thing that we work successful August, and it was precise good, but not there," Kennedy told Deadline.

Once again, Kennedy referred to Kinberg's task arsenic a "trilogy," though acceptable to movie this seems not.

"Mangold's is truly connected the backmost burner arsenic is Soderbergh's," Kennedy continued, listing disconnected different Star Wars projects that person failed to materialize. Logan manager James Mangold besides had his Star Wars task announced astatine Celebration 2023, though small is known of what it would person entailed. Steven Soderbergh's project, meanwhile, was The Hunt for Ben Solo — a movie that was reportedly blocked from progressing by Disney president Bob Iger, to the uproar of fans. (As portion of the aforesaid interview, Kennedy suggested it could inactive beryllium made if idiosyncratic was "willing to instrumentality a risk.")

"I deliberation the ones by Taika and Donald are inactive somewhat alive," Kennedy continued. "That's going to truly beryllium up to the caller squad to fig out." Here, the enforcement is referring to Thor: Love and Thunder manager Taika Waititi's Star Wars task primitively announced successful 2020, and Solo prima Donald Glover's Lando project, primitively discussed arsenic acold backmost arsenic 2018.

Numerous different Star Wars projects person been mentioned implicit the past decade, including a Jabba the Hutt movie from Guillermo del Toro, a Knights of the Old Republic trilogy written by Shutter Island screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis, a Star Wars: TIE Fighter thought written by Luke Cage bid scribe Matt Owens, and a Jedi root movie (or possibly afloat trilogy) from Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. There's nary proposition immoderate of these volition ever beryllium made.

Kennedy besides made nary notation of the Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Boba Fett crossover movie antecedently announced by Dave Filoni, though it's apt Filoni himself volition beryllium the 1 to springiness an update connected this arsenic helium succeeds Kennedy, and arsenic its destiny apt rests connected the show of The Mandalorian and Grogu this year.
