Rumors swirling around Daniel Richtman’s latest leak have reignited excitement and doubts among Star Wars fans about the franchise’s upcoming direction. The alleged leak suggests that Lucasfilm is planning a new era called “New Jedi Order,” which would take place roughly 15 years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. If these rumors are true, this new era might follow a format similar to the Mandoverse, featuring several interconnected narratives leading up to a climactic event that brings back beloved characters from the past.
The upcoming film, marking a fresh chapter, is rumored to be the highly anticipated movie centered around Rey, with Daisy Ridley set to return as the main character. This film may potentially be steered by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and is believed to delve into Rey’s mission to restore the Jedi Order. Yet, even Ridley herself has expressed uncertainty about when filming will officially begin.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that another “Star Wars” movie titled “Star Wars: Starfighter,” scheduled for release in May 2027, is underway. Directed by Shawn Levy and featuring Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith as the main stars, this film is portrayed as a self-contained adventure that takes place five years following “The Rise of Skywalker.” It’s unlikely to align with the broader narrative of the New Jedi Order era.
While it’s true that Disney has previously released standalone films like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” the announcement of “Starfighter” doesn’t automatically contradict the existence of this rumored new era in the Star Wars universe. Instead, it could be seen as an addition to the existing timeline.
The absence of an official statement from Lucasfilm has left fans in a state of bewilderment. Some are eagerly anticipating the possibility of Rey’s reappearance and the broader development of the Star Wars universe, while others tread cautiously, often referring back to the mostly frosty reception towards the sequel trilogy and the doubt surrounding upcoming projects.
Recently, when whispers circulated that the New Jedi Order initiative seemed to be paused, I found myself nodding in agreement with a fellow enthusiast who said, “Sequels often come laden with history, making it challenging to craft a worthy successor at this moment. It appears Disney and Kathleen Kennedy are on the right path by focusing on self-contained projects instead. If these standalone stories prove popular, perhaps they could then construct a fresh trilogy based on that foundation.
It seems like some people are thinking the Star Wars team might be prioritizing quality over quantity, given the positive response to Andor. After producing numerous shows and films that have struggled due to weak scripts and direction (among other issues), let’s hope Disney has learned a valuable lesson about how to steer this franchise in a more successful direction.
