James Mangold to Direct 'Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi', Beau Willimon Co-Writing

The upcoming 'Star Wars' film, set 25,000 years before the Skywalker saga, aims to explore the origins of the Jedi and the Force.

James Mangold, known for 'Logan', is set to direct 'Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi', with Beau Willimon co-writing the script.
The film, still under its working title, is described by Mangold as a 'biblical epic' exploring the early days of the Jedi.
'Dawn of the Jedi' will take place tens of thousands of years before the Skywalker saga, delving into the story of the first Jedi.
Beau Willimon, acclaimed for his work on 'Andor', brings his storytelling prowess to the 'Star Wars' universe once again.
The new movie may draw from 'Star Wars' Legends, potentially reintroducing elements like the Rakata and the planet Tython.
