Star Wars: ‘New Jedi Order’ Writer Honoring Tradition

by

New Jedi Order film (tentative title), appears well-versed in the subject matter.

Discussing his upcoming directorial project, “Elevation” featuring Anthony Mackie (in which a single father teams up with two other women to confront terrifying beasts in order to rescue a young boy from danger), he also delves into the topic of Star Wars.

Needs to honor tradition

Nolfi shared insights into his approach with Film Stories.

As a passionate cinephile, my method is to delve into the past, examining what has already been created, while keeping in mind the grand vision of what we aim to accomplish. I’ll weave together my own thoughts and ideas, those from Lucasfilm, Disney, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, creating characters that resonate with the rich legacy that precedes them. I strive to ensure that everything I create is a worthy addition to the long, revered tradition of Star Wars storytelling.

Nolfi is familiar with the inspirations of George Lucas

Before he ventured into screenwriting, it was noticed that George Nolfi had a background in philosophy and politics. The team behind the Star Wars project wondered if these areas of study might influence his film.

When discussing George Lucas’ six movies and the world he built, it’s fascinating to note that they are deeply rooted in political concepts. While they don’t directly reflect current events, elements of the Empire can be seen as a blend of Nazi and Roman Empire ideologies.

Nolfi stated, “The shift from democratic Rome to an empire symbolizes a recurring tale among humans: as they strive to organize against disorder, the means they employ to suppress chaos often transforms into oppression.

Knows Star Wars is a science fantasy or space opera

Nolfi also says you can adapt things but not make them out to be preachy.

He noted, “That’s essentially what George Lucas was getting at.” He further added, “One of the great aspects of science fiction and Star Wars – which borders on science fantasy or space opera – is that it allows you to explore profound topics without making it feel like a lecture in philosophy or politics, or something from today’s headlines…

At this point, there’s no set release date for “Star Wars: New Jedi Order”. George Nolfi is well-known for creating the TV series “Allegiance”, directing “The Adjustment Bureau” and co-writing “The Bourne Ultimatum”.
