Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in a Star Wars film about the new Jedi Order. However, the film may have just suffered a setback.
According to Matt Belloni of Puck, Steven Knight has exited the new Jedi Order film. Knight, who created Peaky Blinders, was penning the screenplay. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still attached as the director, with Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey Skywalker.
Recommended Videos Knight is not the first writer to leave the project. Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson were previously attached to the project before exiting. Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film was officially announced at London’s Star Wars Celebration in April 2023. It will be set 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and follow Rey’s attempts to build a new Jedi Order.Our full chat: https://t.co/1PQZIxVTZA pic.twitter.
Disney’s future theatrical release calendar has an untitled Star Wars film scheduled for December 18, 2026. With The Mandalorian & Grogu bowing on May 22, 2026, Ridley’s Star Wars movie was the leading candidate for the December 2026 release date. If Lucasfilm is searching for a new writer, the likelihood of the Rey-focused film moving off that date is high. Disney could push The Mandalorian & Grogu to December or replace it with another title. Spider-Man 4 was a likely candidate, but Marvel dated it for July 24, 2026. Could Blade, a movie that was removed from 2025, find itself on the December release date? It’s possible. However, the best option remains Ridley’s Star Wars movie, so Lucasfilm must find a writer soon.
