Star Wars: New Jedi Order director promises new movie is “something very special”

Star Wars: New Jedi Order director reveals that the new movie will be “something very special” for fans of the iconic franchise.

The Star Wars universe has been expanding in a big way since Disney bought the rights to the property. With a major selection of TV shows including The Mandalorian, Andor, and more, fans of the popular franchise have never been more spoiled.

And while TV shows have been a big hit for Star Wars, the franchise is set to return to the film screen, with Star Wars: New Jedi Order marking the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey.

While the most recent Star Wars movie trilogy was extremely decisive amongst fans, the new film promises to be a new experience for fans as Rey looks to rebuild the Jedi Order, the new film set 15 years after Rise of Skywalker.

In a new interview with CNN, director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy revealed what fans can expect from New Jedi Order, telling fans that the movie will be “something very special.”

Obaid-Chinoy added, “I’m very thrilled about the project because I feel what we’re about to create is something very special. And we’re in 2024 now, and it’s about time that we had a woman come forward to shape a story in a galaxy far, far away.”

At the time of writing, Star Wars: New Jedi Order has yet to begin filming. However, in the same interview, Obaid-Chinoy revealed that the movie aimed to begin production in the Spring of 2024.

As such, fans will likely have to wait a few more years to see the return of Rey, the rebuilding of the Jedi Order, and the continuation of the Star Wars franchise.
