Star Wars: we know when James Mangold’s film will be set, and it will surprise!



James Mangold working on a film Star Wars

No movie Star Wars we have not been offered it since The Rise of Skywalkerreleased in 2019. But Rey’s story isn’t over. Because, as we learned in April 2023, the intergalactic saga will return with a tenth work currently titled New Jedi Orderin which Daisy Ridley will return to play her character.

Other projects in the universe Star Wars They are also in preparation. Of which a feature film directed by James Mangoldwhose title is for the moment Dawn of the Jedi. The film was announced several years ago. Since then, news about him has been rare. But its director eventually relented several important pieces of information on the feature film.

A story totally detached from that of the other films

While promoting his new film, A complete strangerJames Mangold was asked about his future film Star Wars Of MovieWeb. He explained that it was I’m still working on the script with Beau Willimon, the creator of House of cards. The director also gave the date his feature film would be setand explained what interested him in this project :

For me the really important aspect is the freedom to do something new. The Star Wars film would be set 25,000 years before any other film in the saga. It’s a playground that I’ve always wanted to explore and that inspired me when I was a teenager. I’m not very interested in the idea of ​​being limited by the entire universe that already exists, to the point of being almost immobile and unable to please anyone.

So what initially attracted James Mangold to the project was the fact that this new story will be set in the past “very, very, very” distant. This will allow the director to deliver something new in franchising, with a plot separate from that of all other feature films.

Will the feature film be made?

However, James Mangold suggested it his movie Star Wars it may never see the light of day. As previously mentioned, he explained that he was working on the script with Beau Willimon. But it isn’t I’m not sure I’ll get a sufficiently convincing result for himself and/or Lucasfilm:

We’ll see what happens. Can we find a way, with our script, to say something original?

Believing these words is therefore still possible James Mangold’s film never gets made. It would be far from the first feature film from this universe to be buried. In recent years, for example, a film that Kevin Feige was supposed to develop was cancelled. Just like that of the creators of game of Thrones.
