Rey-Focused Star Wars Movie Gets Fourth New Writer
Briefly

Lucasfilm has recruited George Nolfi to write a new script for 'Star Wars: New Jedi Order', revealing a commitment to the project announced in 2023. Daisy Ridley returns as Rey, who will mentor new Jedi approximately 15 years after 'The Rise of Skywalker'. Previous writers included Damon Lindelof and Steven Knight, but after Knight's departure, Nolfi took over. Although planned for a December 2026 release, the film has been delayed, with 2027 now being the earliest potential release date as Lucasfilm navigates a crowded slate of upcoming projects.
Lucasfilm remains dedicated to bringing 'New Jedi Order' to life, as evidenced by the hiring of George Nolfi despite numerous previous screenwriter changes.
The movie will revisit Rey, portrayed by Daisy Ridley, as she trains a new generation of Jedi 15 years post-'The Rise of Skywalker'.
