As a seasoned Star Wars gamer with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of familiar disappointment as yet another promising Star Wars movie seems to be slipping through our grasp. The saga has been a part of my life since I was a child, and the thought that we might not get to see Rey’s journey continue on the big screen is disheartening.
It appears there’s been a hiccup with the latest Star Wars film, a delay that fans have unfortunately grown accustomed to. Unfortunately, specifics regarding how Disney’s decision affects this Star Wars movie are still under wraps.
The film “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” came out in 2019, marking the last big-screen premiere for the series at that time. Since then, Lucasfilm has been working on various Star Wars movies, but many of them have encountered delays, cancellations, or their status remains unclear. Now, another Star Wars movie is up in the air, and fans believe they know which one it might be.
Disney has postponed the release of an upcoming “Star Wars” movie that was scheduled for December 18, 2026. The title of the “Star Wars” movie has not been rescheduled on Disney’s calendar yet, with its spot being taken by “Ice Age 6”. According to Deadline, there was some uncertainty whether the “Star Wars” film in question featured Daisy Ridley’s character Rey Skywalker. However, it is speculated that the delayed “Star Wars” movie could be the one directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, although Disney has not confirmed this. The Rey movie was affected by writer Steven Knight leaving the project recently.
Among several upcoming “Star Wars” projects at different stages, one of them could have been the secretive movie scheduled for release in December 2026. James Mangold is penning and directing a “Star Wars” film exploring the roots of the Force, while Taika Waititi is working on a new installment within the series. Additionally, a “Star Wars” project by Shawn Levy is underway, and the “Lando” TV series is being considered for a big-screen adaptation. Patty Jenkins’ “Rogue Squadron” movie is still in production despite appearing to have been canceled earlier. However, it is speculated that Obaid-Chinoy’s Rey film may not be part of the December 2026 lineup due to Knight’s departure, as this project was believed to be the most advanced before his exit.
One possible explanation for the delay or cancellation of Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film could be due to Lucasfilm’s focus on Daisy Ridley’s character, Rey, in the Star Wars franchise. It’s rumored that Lucasfilm is planning multiple movies featuring Ridley as Rey, and they highly value this character. If these plans include a new Star Wars trilogy being written by Simon Kinberg, it could potentially conflict with Obaid-Chinoy’s film. Additionally, there may be competition among potential directors for the rights to use Rey, although this is reportedly not the case. If true, this competition might explain why the December 2026 Star Wars movie no longer has a release date.
It’s worth noting that this is all speculation, but given past experiences, delays or cancellations of Star Wars projects have become somewhat expected among fans. In fact, it’s almost like a game to predict when the next project might get the axe. That being said, the upcoming untitled Star Wars project hasn’t been officially canceled yet. However, many wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case. Some fans are even advocating for the cancellation of the new Rey Star Wars movie at this point.
The Star Wars franchise is available on Disney Plus.
