Since Star Wars 9, the intergalactic saga has taken a break from cinema to focus on Disney+ series, most notably The Acolyte, which is currently airing on the platform. However, rumors continue to swirl about a sequel to the franchise on the big screen.
The latest, shared by an insider on MyTimeToShineHello X, concerns Sydney Sweeney. The star of the TV series “Euphoria” recently appeared before the general public with the success of the romantic comedy “Everything But You”. She also starred in the horror film Immaculate, in which she plays an American nun who finds herself isolated in an Italian convent.
Sidney Sweeney as a Jedi?
Sidney Sweeney is in talks to play a Jedi in a Star Wars feature film, according to Hollywood rumors. It is not specified which movie it is. At the moment, 3 Star Wars projects are dated: the first is Daisy Ridley’s project called New Jedi Order, which will be released on May 20, 2026.
Therefore, the story will take place after the fall of the First Order. “The Jedi are in chaos – there’s even a question of how many still exist – and Rey is building a new Jedi order based on the text that Luke gave and delivered to her.”said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. Filming is expected to begin this year.
The end of the Mandoverse
The second feature film to be officially unveiled will be Disney+ series big man Dave Filoni. Titled The Mandalorian and Grogu, this work will focus on the New Republic, which is already at the center of The Mandalorian, Boba Fett and Ahsoka’s book. It will hit theaters on December 16, 2026.
The latest official project will be directed by James Mangold, director of Logan and the recent Indiana Jones 5. The story takes us 25,000 years before The Phantom Menace in an almost religious atmosphere.
The filmmaker wants to tell the story of the first Jedi who managed to master the force and use it as a liberating force in an era of chaos and oppression. The release date is December 15, 2027.
Taika Waititi is also working on a Star Wars film, and Patty Jenkins is set to pitch his Rogue Squadron project, but nothing concrete about those works yet. Will Sydney Sweeney star in any of these movies? You will have to be patient to find out!
