7. James Mangold's Movie About The First Jedi
Along with Dave Filoni's New Republic tale, Star Wars Celebration 2023 also brought with it news of James Mangold being given the opportunity to tell a big-screen story in this legendary galaxy far, far away.
The Logan and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director's film will be set around the time of "the dawn of the Jedi" (via StarWars.com), with Mangold also explaining to Empire how the picture will look at "the discovery of the Force" and be "a kind of Ten Commandments of Star Wars."
Set 25,000 years before the time of Episode IV - A New Hope, the director would also add that he wanted to make "kind of a Cecil B DeMille film about the arrival of the Force," and had been "pecking away" at that idea in-between his press event appearances.
Exactly how and where the Force was found, who discovered it, and who the first-ever Jedi actually was are all things Mangold is currently thinking about whilst writing the incoming picture (via Variety). But it remains a mystery exactly when this "Biblical epic" will arrive in cinemas.
