Daisy Ridley’s new Star Wars movie title signals a new era for franchise

Daisy Ridley’s new Star Wars movie is rumored to have a title that will mark a new beginning for the franchise.

It’s been four years since the last time Star Wars on the big screen with The Rise of Skywalker came out in 2019.

The final film in the new Star Wars trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker, saw the end of the Skywalker family saga that stemmed from the prequels in 1999 through the original trilogy in 1977.

However, a new Star Wars is set to be released soon with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey Skywalker. But, though she’s a Skywalker, her new movie will not be centered on the iconic space family as the film’s rumored title signals a new era for the franchise.

Ridley’s Star Wars film marks a new beginning

According to a rumor leaked by Star Wars Meg, the title of Ridley’s new film is allegedly Star Wars: A New Beginning.

This title could mark a new beginning for the franchise because, at the end of Rise of Skywalker, Rey took on the name Skywalker and promised to rebuild the Jedi Order herself.

As the entire franchise has been built upon the Skywalker name, this will be the first time Star Wars will focus on characters outside of their realm.

 Star Wars News Net reported that the final draft of the script for Ridley’s Star Wars film is set to be turned in by Thanksgiving and will be written by screenwriter Steven Knight, who’s best known as the creator of the BBC’s Peaky Blinders.

Since Star Wars has been around for almost 50 years, it’ll be interesting to see where the franchise will go without using any existing source materials.
