Daisy Ridley's Next Star Wars Movie Suffers A New Setback

Key Takeaways

  • Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars comeback movie faces setbacks due to a screenwriter exiting the project.
  • The setback could lead to the movie not starting filming until 2025.
  • Fans eagerly anticipate Ridley’s return as Rey in the next Star Wars film to explore her journey in starting a new Jedi Academy.

As a seasoned Star Wars enthusiast who has followed the franchise since its inception, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and concern regarding Daisy Ridley’s upcoming film. On one hand, the idea of Rey continuing her journey to establish a new Jedi Academy is an exciting prospect that has me eagerly counting down the days. However, the constant setbacks and changes in the writing department have left me wondering if we’ll ever actually see this movie come to fruition.

It’s been confirmed that Daisy Ridley will reappear in the Star Wars universe. But, as per the latest news, her upcoming Star Wars film seems to have encountered another delay.

Daisy Ridley has been featured in several “Star Wars” films. She first appeared in the series with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” released in 2015. In this film, she played Rey, a child left behind who survived as a scavenger on planet Jakku. She continued her role in two subsequent movies, namely “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (2017) and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (2019). At Star Wars Celebration 2023, it was confirmed that Daisy Ridley would star in another film for the franchise. However, as of now, there’s no clear development on the project, and the latest news indicates a delay or setback.

As reported by Variety, the screenwriter who was last attached to Ridley Scott’s upcoming Star Wars film has chosen to step away from the project. Previously, Steven Knight had been announced as the latest addition to the writing team in March 2023, replacing Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson who were initially assigned. Currently, the film lacks a writer following Knight’s departure. Lucasfilm is reportedly discussing with potential writers to pen the story that will follow Rey as she begins establishing a new Jedi Academy. However, this recent development might push the commencement of filming until 2025.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the director of the Disney Plus series Ms. Marvel, is still set to direct a Star Wars movie. Previously, she expressed her interest to Variety in telling the story of Rey’s journey as a female Jedi, believing it’s the best way for her to contribute her experiences to the project. In addition, Obaid-Chinoy mentioned on Star SiriusXM 109 that Rey would embark on an adventure to a Jedi Academy. At the time, she indicated they were taking their time with the project to ensure they properly tell Rey’s story.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve got to admit that I was starting to question whether Ridley’s upcoming movie would ever see the light of day. Jordan Ruimy, the big cheese at World of Reel and a Tomatometer-approved critic, threw cold water on the idea that filming would kick off in September, flat out stating there was “zero chance” it would happen. He even went so far as to predict, “I think they’ll just scrap the whole project.” At about the same time, movie insider @DanielRPK hinted that the long-awaited film The New Jedi Order had hit a snag, with the script needing more tweaks. The future of the project is up in the air – it’s anyone’s guess whether the next writer will polish the existing script or start fresh. But one thing’s for sure: the production team has a crystal-clear vision for Ridley’s next film, whatever shape it takes.

As a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast myself, I can’t contain my excitement about Ridley’s next film! Ever since Rey took center stage in the franchise, she’s been my favorite character, and I can hardly wait to see her restore the Jedi Order. The announcement of her upcoming Star Wars movie was met with enthusiasm, and I, along with many others, am eagerly anticipating her next adventure after The Rise of Skywalker. Here’s hoping that the next film will delve deeper into REy’s character, introducing new Jedi and enriching the Star Wars universe even further.
