James Mangold Reveals a Different Take on His ‘Star Wars’ Movie: “I’m not that interested in being handcuffed by so much lore.”
Collaborating with Beau Willimon, Mangold is delving into the “Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi” project. What sets this film apart is that it’s situated 25,000 years prior to any events in the known Star Wars universe. Mangold finds the concept intriguing as it allows him to examine an entirely fresh era, devoid of the burden of established Star Wars history.
