Star Wars’ New Jedi Order Hits Another Delay: Can Rey’s Comeback Survive the Drama?

The much-anticipated Star Wars film, New Jedi Order, faces delays as script and production issues emerge. With a new vision in development, can the return of Rey and the Jedi Order capture the magic fans crave?

The journey of the Star Wars franchise into the post-Skywalker era has not been smooth. New Jedi Order, the planned film that marks the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey, is currently in limbo amid script rewrites and production delays. The project, initially expected to begin filming in early 2024, has faced multiple setbacks, causing the anticipated April 2024 shoot to be postponed. Writer Steven Knight, known for Peaky Blinders, took over script duties after Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson exited due to creative differences, reportedly under pressure from Lucasfilm to rework the story direction.

The plot is set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, with Rey striving to rebuild the Jedi Order in a chaotic galaxy still reeling from the fall of the First Order. Director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy remains attached, aiming to bring fresh energy to the franchise. However, reports suggest Knight's revisions have not yet met Lucasfilm's expectations, with four drafts submitted and further development needed before the project can move forward. The recent Hollywood strikes only added to the delays, pushing any hope of filming to late 2024 or possibly 2025.

Although New Jedi Order faces considerable challenges, its potential to revitalize the saga rests on its ability to craft a compelling new narrative. Can the film overcome production woes and skeptical fan expectations to deliver a worthy continuation of the Star Wars legacy? If it does proceed, a 2026 release is the current target, but with numerous other Star Wars projects also in flux, nothing is guaranteed.

The ongoing issues with New Jedi Order highlight a larger problem with Lucasfilm's approach, which often seems reactive rather than visionary. While Rey's return could breathe new life into the franchise, the constant behind-the-scenes turmoil risks overshadowing the story itself. It's time for Lucasfilm to establish a clearer, more consistent path forward.

Do you think Star Wars should focus on Rey's story, or is it time for the franchise to explore new characters and eras?
