Daisy Ridley's forthcoming Star Wars film projected for release in 2025.
The Star Wars universe is gearing up for a new chapter, with Lucasfilm announcing a fresh vision for the cinematic future, including three new films. One of these films, titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order, is set to star Daisy Ridley's Rey as the head of a New Jedi Order.
Originally scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, the Star Wars: New Jedi Order film has been removed from the 2026 release calendar, with Ice Age 6 taking its scheduled release date. The film's production was planned to begin in 2026, but with the removal from the release schedule, the exact start of production remains uncertain.
Rey's film, initially set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, involves her training a new generation of Jedi warriors. However, the screenplay is undergoing changes by screenwriter Nolfi, which may affect the plot's focus. Despite these delays and production changes, Rey is expected to play a significant role in the future Star Wars projects, including a new trilogy.
Other Star Wars films in development include The Mandalorian & Grogu, set for release on May 22, 2026, and Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy, which is scheduled for May 28, 2027.
The production of Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order film would need to begin immediately to meet its 2025 release date. However, the official release plan for the new Star Wars films, including the viability of the 2025 release date for Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order film, is still being decided.
In addition to Obaid-Chinoy's film, Dave Filoni is working on a Mandalorian-period Imperial Remnant vs. New Republic film. If the schedule holds, Filoni's Remnant/Republic movie will follow Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order film by a year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the release dates of these upcoming films, Lucasfilm is aiming to release one Star Wars film per year, signalling a commitment to sustainable and quality-driven projects. The future of the Star Wars cinematic universe is still uncertain and subject to change.
Sources close to the projects have confirmed this information, but their identities remain undisclosed. There is no new information about the plot or storylines for the new films, the release schedule for James Mangold's "Dawn of the Jedi"-era film, or any new cast members or characters for the new films.
