James Mangold, Dave Filoni and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct three new Star Wars features...
...it was also revealed that Daisy Ridley was returning to the Star Wars universe and would star in the feature to be helmed by Obaid-Chinoy.
Kennedy said the company was working on expanding the mythological timeline created by George Lucas, by pushing forward, backwards, and sideways. Mangold’s movie is to be set in the deep past while Obaid-Chinoy’s set 15 years after the events of Rise of Skywalker, the last Star Wars movie.
Filoni’s feature is to be set in the so-called “present,” as it will act as a climactic event for the current Star Wars series The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and the upcoming Ahsoka. Filoni is an executive producer and creative guide on these series.
No timeline on the release was given.
Mangold described his project as a “Biblical epic” that would look at the origins of the Force and be set 25,000 years before any of the timelines and stories told by the movies and shows so far.
“When I first started talking to Kathy about doing one of these pictures, what occurred to me was thinking about what kind of genre of movie within Star Wars I wanted to do,” he said. “And I thought about a Biblical epic, like a Ten Commandments, about the dawning of the Force. Where did the Force come from, when did we discover it, when did we learn how to use it?”
Obaid-Chinoy, meanwhile, said she is attracted to the idea of the hero’s journey and was keen on immersing herself in a focus on a Jedi academy and a Jedi master. “I have spent the better part of my life meeting real heroes who are overcoming oppressive regimes and battling impossible odds. And I think that is the heart of Star Wars,” she said.
Ridley, for her part, didn’t reveal too much but did say she “was thrilled to be continuing this journey.”
