Lucasfilm recently announced that two films will be released Star Wars in the same year and a source apparently confirmed which will have the experimental date of May 2026.
as you remember screen rantthe studio previously announced three new Star Wars movies at Star Wars Celebration 2023: the new Jedi Order movie with Rey as the leader, the Mandalorian movie from the New Republic era by Dave FIloni and the project Dawn of the Jedi by James Mangold.
A recent edition of Production Weekly seems to have confirmed which movie will be released in May 2026: the new jedi order movie. The number describes the production team involved in the tape, with writer Steven Knight to director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and star Daisy Ridley.
Interestingly, the leak also lists the movie’s release date as on May 22, 2026one of two recently confirmed dates for Star Wars’ 2026 release schedule.
The alleged name and synopsis of the tape
According to the number 1355 of Production Weeklythe first synopsis of what is known asor “Star Wars: New Jedi Order“that describes Rey’s role in training two Jedi trainees, one of whom could shape the future of the galaxy.
“Set approximately 15 years after Rey’s victory over Palpatine at the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The sequel delves into Rey’s courageous effort to restore the Jedi Order, where she takes on the role of mentor to two promising young students: a girl and a boy. As she progresses through her training, it becomes apparent that the girl possesses extraordinary abilities, destined to emerge as the future leader.”, indicates the synopsis.
Assuming there’s any truth to the synopsis for the new movie by Star Wars, seems to indicate that Rey Skywalker may not be the main character. With only a brief mention of Palpatine and no mention of other sequel trilogy characters, this New Jedi Oder synopsis hints at a fresh start for the franchise.
