Daisy Ridley Gives More Details About the Script for ‘Star Wars Episode X’
Star Wars has several projects in progress, including a new film directed by Mangold set thousands of years in the past and Waititi’s secretive project that he teased would upset fans. Somewhere in between, there’s ‘Star Wars: Episode X’ tentatively titled ‘New Jedi Order,’ which seems closely tied to its storyline.
Announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023, the new movie focuses on Rey’s journey after ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’ Directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, it follows Rey as she endeavors to rebuild the Jedi Order. Originally, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson were slated to write the script, but Steven Knight took over. The story unfolds 15 years after ‘Rise of Skywalker,’ delving into the aftermath of war and the state of the galaxy post-First Order, with the Jedi facing upheaval. Kathleen Kennedy revealed that Rey is committed to honoring her promise to Luke by rebuilding the Jedi Order, drawing inspiration from the books.
Recently, Ridley, set to return as Rey Skywalker, told the press that she finds the story of the upcoming movie really cool. She hopes fans will be excited about it. She also mentioned that she’s only aware of the storyline for this one movie.
There have been rumors that ‘Star Wars Episode X’ won’t kick off another trilogy, and everything Ridley has said seems to back up this rumor. Ridley has only commented on the possible title of the upcoming movie, which appears to be ‘New Jedi Order’.
I don’t know! I mean, I think so. From the announcement, I don’t think that’s changed.
She also said the script for the upcoming movie isn’t done yet, but she’ll read it as soon as it’s ready.
I know a script is happening, and I’m going to be reading it imminently, which is very exciting.
