Star Wars Celebration has once again brought many announcements for fans to look forward to. During Lucasfilm’s Studio Showcase panel, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy discussed the upcoming Star Wars movies, including a new movie with Rey to be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The movie will be set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker in the era dubbed the New Jedi Order.
While specific details are still under wraps, Kennedy revealed a bit more information during an exclusive interview with Yahoo UK. Rather than rushing to push content, they’ve taken their time to foster the growth of the story with less pressure:
“We’ve been working on that [film] for a few years and all of that feeds into our overall storytelling.”

More details may come over the summer at the earliest although work has already started on the project as explained by Kennedy:
“So we’ve just got to a point now where we’ve got a wonderful writer in Steven Knight, he’s come on board and we’re going to see a script probably in the next month and a half that we’ve been working on for quite a while.”
Making something, and making sure to do it right, takes time as Kennedy pointed out:
"It’s such an evolution of conversations that we have all the time and we knew coming off of The Rise of Skywalker that we needed to take that further. We just didn’t know how far out; we didn’t know exactly what the story might be – but now we have a much better idea.”
