Big Update on Mangold’s Jedi Origin Film as ‘Ahsoka’ Faces Uncertain Future, Insider Reveals

by

As a gamer with a heart full of nostalgia for the Star Wars universe, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and apprehension. The recent tumultuous journey of Star Wars on the small screen has left me yearning for the good old days, much like Han Solo longing for the freedom of space after being stuck in carbonite.

Currently, the Star Wars franchise finds itself in an unusual position. Its recently concluded live-action production, The Acolyte, didn’t fare as expected and was abruptly terminated after eight episodes. The forthcoming series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, scheduled for release in December, isn’t generating the excitement that the studio anticipated and appears to be grappling with challenges behind the scenes.

Lately, there’s been talk about a fresh Star Wars trilogy penned by Simon Kinberg, however, the response has predominantly been on the critical side.

In spite of recent developments, there are a multitude of active live-action Star Wars productions ongoing. These details have been disclosed by industry insider Daniel Richtman via his exclusive Patreon posts.

We’ll kick things off by delving into Mangold’s film that narrates the beginnings of the Jedi and the Force.

On April 7, 2023, during Celebration Europe, it became known that Mangold will helm a “Star Wars” film titled “Dawn of the Jedi”. This movie is set to delve into the origins of the Jedi and the initial discovery of the Force. Mangold aims to infuse this production with an expansive, grandiose atmosphere, reminiscent of timeless cinematic masterpieces such as “The Ten Commandments” and “Ben-Hur”. He successfully leveraged these films to persuade Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm that his concept boasted significant potential.

As a captivated admirer, I found myself pondering an epic tale reminiscent of biblical narratives and the legendary Force. The question that sparked my imagination was: Where did this mysterious Force originate? When were we fortunate enough to discover it? And when did we finally comprehend how to harness its power? A story then began to unfold, a story I couldn’t wait to explore further.

As per Richtman’s report, Mangold’s “Jedi” film is scheduled to start production next year, with further specifics yet to be disclosed.

The latest news concerns Rey’s standalone film that’s been encountering some difficulties recently. Initially penned by Steven Knight, he departed from the project following several months of scriptwriting. Now, Richtman reveals a replacement writer has been secured for the movie, although we remain unaware of their identity.

Regarding Ahsoka, the series had some success and a second season was announced shortly following the first. However, recent news indicates that plans for season 2 are being made with the possibility that it could serve as the concluding season, should the show not be renewed for additional seasons.

It’s a little worrying, but it might be more satisfactory to wrap things up neatly rather than leaving the story unfinished if the series is abruptly ended.

To sum it up, Richtman reports that the Star Wars movie directed by Dave Filoni will commence production in 2026. The plot unfolds during the New Republic Era, where a conflict ensues between the New Republic and remaining Imperials. Moreover, this film aims to conclude the story arcs from The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series that are connected to it.
