At Star Wars Celebration in 2023, Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars movie revolving around Daisy Ridley's Rey Skywalker. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy remains attached to direct the movie, which has been through multiple writers since it was first revealed. 

Now, with The Adjustment Bureau and The Bourne Ultimatum's George Nolfi hard at work on the latest draft, scooper Daniel Richtman has shared some new insights into Lucasfilm's post-The Rise of Skywalker plans. 

He explains that it will be similar to the "Mandoverse," with multiple stories told in that period. The first of those is expected to be Daily Ridley's New Jedi Order, an indication that Star Wars: Starfighter may not be part of this slate. 

That's been widely reported to take place 5 years after Episode IX, with the Rey-led movie set 15 years later. There may be some loose threads between them, but it doesn't seem like we should expect Rey to necessarily show up alongside Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith. 

Obaid-Chinoy's movie is reportedly set to build to an event that brings back plenty of familiar faces from the past. If Lucasfilm doesn't figure out how to include an older Grogu somewhere in this lineup of movies, we will well and truly be lost for words! 

Last year, Ridley discussed her return and explained why she agreed to play Rey again after the divisive reaction to The Rise of Skywalker.

"I suppose I feel more like I’m owning it. I suppose I owned it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now. I certainly did not feel like an adult at the time. Obviously, personally, things have changed, and professionally, I’ve had lots of other experiences, and so I definitely feel like it’s a different thing this time. There’s just a lot of joy with me and these films. Honestly, if I wasn’t excited, I wouldn’t have done it. It feels like a great thing to be a part of."

As for whether she'll find it odd making a Star Wars movie without fellow sequel trilogy co-stars Adam Driver, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, the actress has said, "No, because I don’t know what is what or who is who [in the new movie]. So much has happened for me [since the Skywalker saga]. I feel like a grown-up now. When I first started, I was, like, 20. I was the youngest on set."

"It took me the first two 'Star Wars' films to feel worthy of being there," Ridley continued. "Now I’m in my 30s. The whole thing feels quite different. I’ve been able to work with other filmmakers, and hopefully, I’ve got better as a performer."

Stay tuned for updates on Lucasfilm's New Jedi Order plans as we have them.
