Daisy Ridley’s STAR WARS film Rey has reportedly been put on hold while Lucasfilm awaits approval of the new script

A new one Star Wars the rumors are making waves and this time it is the long-awaited return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker. The imminent Star Wars: New Jedi Order film, which was supposed to continue Rey’s story after the events of The Rise of Skywalkerwould have been suspended.

According to industry insider MyTimeToShineHello, Lucasfilm has temporarily put development on the project on hold pending approval of the latest version of the script.

The scooper shared the update, saying, “The Rey movie is on hold until Lucasfilm approves the new script.”

This report is in line with recent chatter about the studio’s changing priorities. The film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and written by Giorgio Nolfihas already undergone several creative revisions. Nolfi’s latest draft now appears to be the deciding factor on when production can move forward.

Earlier this year, insider Daniel Richtman suggested that Lucasfilm was focusing its attention on other Star Wars projects for the time being, including Shawn Levy’S Starfighter AND James Mangold’S Dawn of the Jedi.

Richtman noted that the Rey-directed film has not been canceled, but only “temporarily put on hold” while the studio re-evaluates its next film schedule.

Despite the delay, Ridley seems optimistic about the creative process. In a February 2025 interview, he stated that the extra time would help ensure the story lived up to expectations: “I don’t think any fan would want it to be rushed. It will be worth the wait.”

Lucasfilm obviously had a hard time trying to come up with the story for this project. It will be interesting to see if it actually gets the green light or finds itself in the garbage disposal with all the other canceled Star Wars projects before it.
