Nearly a year after it was first announced, James Mangold’s Star Wars Jedi origin movie has found its writer. After taking a few years to build out the universe on Disney+ with The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor and Ahsoka, Lucasfilm is turning their attention back to the big screen with mutliple new Star Wars movies in the works. Among these are The Mandalorian & Grogu, which was recently confirmed for a May 2026 release, a Daisy Ridley-led movie, a Taika Waititi-helmed film, the Solo: A Star Wars Story spinoff Lando and Mangold’s project.
