It’s official, James Mangold and Dave Filoni have been announced as directors of new “Star Wars” films and will join the previously announced film from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.
Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy announced the news this morning as part of the Lucasfilm Showcase at Star Wars Celebration.
She unveiled a new ‘timeline’ for “Star Wars” projects spanning nine different eras: Dawn of the Jedi, The Old Republic, The High Republic, Fall of the Jedi, Rise of the Empire Age of Rebellion, The New Republic, Rise of the First Order, New Jedi Order.
Details on all three films have been released. Mangold’s film will explore the first Jedi to use the force and will be set in the earliest era dubbed ‘Dawn of the Jedi’ which takes place 25,000 years in the past.
Filoni is making a film about the “escalating war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic” in what is being dubbed a ‘cinematic event’ in the Mandolorian timeline bringing together all the TV series.
Obaid-Chinoy’s film will be set fifteen years post-‘Rise of Skywalker’ and will see Daisy Ridley return as Rey as she rebuilds the Jedi Order in the last of the nine eras dubbed ‘New Jedi Order’. Ridley was on hand to celebrate the news.
