The Star Wars universe is abuzz with excitement as Daisy Ridley, known for her iconic portrayal of Rey Skywalker, inches closer to reading the script for the highly anticipated New Jedi Order movie. In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Ridley hinted at progress, revealing her anticipation for delving into the story that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Behind the scenes, Steven Knight, the mastermind behind “Peaky Blinders,” has taken the reins as the writer, infusing new energy into the project after previous setbacks. Despite initial delays due to the Writers Guild of America strike, Knight’s dedication and talent offer a promising glimpse into the future of the Star Wars saga.
As speculation swirls about the film’s release date, recent reports suggest a potential shift to December 18th, 2026, following the announcement of “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” a theatrical follow-up to the beloved Disney+ series. While official confirmation from Lucasfilm and Disney is pending, Ridley’s imminent dive into the script marks a significant step forward for the New Jedi Order and the galaxy far, far away.
