Star Wars New Live-Action Films Announced, Daisy Ridley Returns
Star Wars has kicked off Star Wars Celebration 2023 with the official announcement for the highly anticipated next live-action film. Rumors about the film circulated when Lucasfilm announced the panel lineup that included “live-action” filmmakers. Now, we finally know what they were talking about. After a hiatus from feature films (but an enormous amount—one might even say a glut—of live-action Disney+ series), Star Wars is returning to the big screen.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy introduced thethree directors for the next three Star Wars movies: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold, Mandalorian and Clone Wars architect Dave Filoni, and Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The three films will span across the entirety of the known Star Wars timeline, which will now include the Dawn of the Jedi, 25,000 years before the events of the Skywalker films, and the time of the New Jedi Order, 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker.
Mangold’s film, set during that earliest period of the timeline, will tell the tale of the first Jedi ever in what he described as a “biblical epic.” Dave Filoni will direct a new film set in the time period of The Mandalorian, culminating in the conflict between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Lastly, Obaid-Chinoy reintroduced Jedi Master Rey Skywalker, Daisy Ridley herself, who will rebuild the Jedi Order in a new film.
Three stand-alone Star Wars films? Set in three different times, including one we’ve never seen before? It’s a very interesting choice, but potentially a very good one.
