Lucasfilm Exposes False Information About Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker STAR WARS Movie

A new report recently surfaced for Lucasfilm’s upcoming Rey Skywalker film that was full of new information about the film. That report came from Production Weekly and it said the title of the film was Star Wars: New Jedi Orderand they also offered a brief summary of the story, which reads:

“Set approximately 15 years after Rey’s victory over Palpatine and the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The sequel delves into Rey’s brave attempt to restore the Jedi Order, where he takes on the role of mentor to two promising young students: a girl and a boy. As their training progresses, it becomes apparent that she possesses extraordinary abilities, destined to emerge as the future leader.”

Production Weekly is a reputable site, but it turns out they got it wrong. As this news spread, Lucasfilm reached out to io9 to let them know that the synopsis “is largely inaccurate, other than Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order.” The title of the movie is also wrong and is said to be just using generic wording.

As for the April 2024 production start date, that could end up being legit. It just depends on how the writer’s strike continues to play out.

As of right now, the only information about the movie that’s set in stone is that Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is directing, Stefano Cavaliere will work in the script, e Daisy Ridley protagonists of the film, which will tell a story about the reconstruction of the New Jedi Order.

There have been other rumors about it John Boyega returning to reprise his role as Finn, and that Ridley’s Rey will not be starring in the film. Which will be more in a supporting role. But those rumors have not been confirmed.

There are currently three Star Wars movies dated to Disney including May 22, 2026; December 18, 2026; and December 17, 2027. I’m guessing one of those is being held for this Rey movie.
