Rey Skywalker’s new screenwriter film shares how George Lucas’ vision is inspiring his Star Wars movie

Next Star Wars Film focused Rey Skywalker It has been under development for some time, and it was recently announced that George Nolfi intervened as a new screenwriter, replacing Peaky Blinders Creator Steven Knightwhich came out of the project last year.

Nolfi recently spoke with film stories about his approach to the script, revealing that he intends to rely on deeper philosophical and political issues in Star Warsa management inspired by George Lucas himself.

“If you think of George Lucas, the six films he has made and the universe he has created, is actually very steeped in large notions of politics.

“It does not speak of today, in itself, but there is the Nazism of the Empire that cuts Roman Empire. The democracy of the Roman Empire that collapses and becomes an empire and perennial history of human beings who organize themselves and against chaos, and therefore the tools that help human societies to break chaos become oppressions. “

This perspective is in line with Star Wars‘Exploration of power, governance and nature of oppression and resistance. It is a fundamental element of Lucas’ original vision, which has infused the saga with historical and political allegories.

Nolfi continued to talk about how science fiction and Star WarsIt offers a unique platform to deal with significant problems without feeling like a lesson.

“So it is really very fundamental for what I think George Lucas was trying to speak. And one of the wonderful things of science fiction e Star WarsWhich is almost the scientific fantasy or space work, it is that you can raise the deepest problems without you feel like a philosophy lesson, a lesson in political science or something I have read in the newspaper today … “

He added: “It can concern real things, deep things”.

It is an interesting approach and while Star Wars He has always transported a political underground current, I am curious to see how Nolfi takes these ideas and incorporates them in the next chapter of Rey.

Shameen obaid-chinoy He is destined to direct the film and previously spoke of the project, sharing his excitement for the next chapter saying: “I am very enthusiastic about the project because I feel what we are about to create is something very special.

“And we’re in 2024 now, and the time has come that a woman came forward to model a story in a very, distant galaxy.”

The film will take place over a decade after events in Skywalker’s ascentAnd he will focus on Rey while based on the new Jedi order.

Ridley said about the film: I’m very excited. The story is really fantastic. I am waiting to read a script because, of course, I have no other updates. That’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited. “

“I know the plot for a movie. It does not mean that it is all that it is, but that’s what I was told. And I guess it will be the next movie, I think. I mean, once again, I don’t know, post strikes And everything else, how quickly everything starts again.

I just want that Lucasfilm make great Star Wars movies! Tell great stories with interesting characters and the fans will present themselves! It is not really too much to ask.
