Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s New Jedi Order Movie: Still Happening
The last of the three announced films from Celebration surely has to be the one least likely to die, given its importance: the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker, creating a New Jedi Order after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Although things have been impacted by the Hollywood strikes this summer, the film—which was nearly had a brush with cancelled Star Wars fate when, before its plot was announced, it was a Damon Lindelof project that saw him replaced with Stephen Knight—the film is now expected to release on May 22, 2026.
