Overview
- Ridley told IGN she remains confident in the film’s creative team and believes the wait will be worthwhile, noting the significant hurdles any movie faces before production.
- The planned feature, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is set after The Rise of Skywalker with Rey working to rebuild the Jedi Order.
- Nearly 1,000 days after its reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2023, the project shows little public progress, has cycled through writers, and still lacks a release date.
- Other 2023-announced theatrical projects have also seen limited movement, including James Mangold’s ancient-era film and Dave Filoni’s Mando-verse culmination, which was deferred as focus shifted to The Mandalorian & Grogu.
- GamesRadar+ reports Adam Driver said a planned Ben Solo spinoff titled The Hunt for Ben Solo was dropped following negative reactions from some Disney executives.
