With Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film centered on Rey confirmed to be in development, former writer Damon Lindelof has opened up about his exit.
Writer Damon Lindelof has opened up about his Star Wars exit, only half a year after his involvement in a feature film was announced. Now that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Star Wars film centered on Rey Skywalker has been officially announced, it was also confirmed that this was the initial project Lindelof was hired for. However, Lindelof left the project in February 2023, with Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight hired to rewrite the script.

When asked on whether he was in talks for a Star Wars film, Lindelof replied: "I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe, I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave." These comments are interesting, to say the least.
With other projects being completely dropped from development by Lucasfilm in recent years, it is clear the studio was attempting to map out its overarching plan for Star Wars' theatrical future. It is obvious now, after Star Wars Celebration 2023, that this involves the exploration of three sects of the Star Wars timeline. The simple fact is likely that Lindelof's vision for whatever his project would be did not fit Lucasfilm's plans, and the studio asked him to leave as a result.
