Overview
- Industry tracker Production Weekly listed Star Wars: New Jedi Order and Dave Filoni’s untitled film as in-development in its Sept. 3 issue, a sign the projects are not formally abandoned.
- The New Jedi Order project remains attached to Daisy Ridley as Rey and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, with George Nolfi reported as the latest screenwriter after multiple prior rewrites.
- Production Weekly described Filoni’s movie as focused on the New Republic and saying it 'will conclude' interconnected narratives from shows such as The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and The Book of Boba Fett, which has prompted speculation it could serve as a culmination of those series.
- Neither Lucasfilm nor Disney has officially confirmed greenlights, production starts, release dates, or casting beyond previously announced attachments, and inclusion in Production Weekly does not equal formal studio confirmation.
- The listings come as Lucasfilm evaluates its theatrical strategy following recent box-office underperformance and as Starfighter remains the only firmly dated Star Wars film on the schedule for May 28, 2027, making these updates a cautious industry signal rather than a guaranteed production move.
