Revolutionizing Jedi History: Upcoming Star Wars Movie's Impact
Explore the origins of the Jedi Order in James Mangold's upcoming Star Wars movie With the potential to completely alter the timeline of Force-users, little is known about what elements of the Force will be explored in this highly anticipated film Stay tuned for more details
James Mangold's upcoming Star Wars film, which focuses on the Dawn of the Jedi Order, has sparked endless speculation since its announcement at Star Wars Celebration 2023. With little information disclosed about the movie, many fans have been theorizing about what elements of the Force will be explored in a project that delves tens of thousands of years into the past to the origins of the Jedi and their connection to the Force itself.
Lucasfilm's president, Kathleen Kennedy, may have revealed that the Dawn of the Jedi film will change the established timeline of the Order. In an interview on the Dagobah Dispatch podcast, Kennedy stated that the film could go back even further than the 25,000 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, which is when the Jedi Order was believed to have begun, according to the "Star Wars Timelines" book. This could mean that Mangold's film will explore a period before this, potentially altering the timeline of the Jedi Order entirely.

What is known about the Dawn of the Jedi in the Star Wars universe is quite limited. However, director Mangold has shared some insight into the upcoming film. In an interview with Screen Rant, he described the film as a "Star Wars Zero" that explores the origins of the Force. At Star Wars Celebration 2023, Mangold referred to the film as a biblical epic that delves into the philosophical and religious implications of the Force, as well as the formation of the Jedi Order around it.
As per the Dawn of the Jedi timeline, the first official character for the upcoming Star Wars film may have been revealed. "Star Wars Timelines" reveals that David Tennant's droid Huyang was powered up in 25,020 BBY, around the same time as the Dawn of the Jedi Order. Huyang, an architect droid, has been teaching Jedi for generations on how to construct lightsabers, thus hinting at his appearance in the movie. However, apart from these details and Kennedy's comments on the timeline, there is little information available on Mangold's forthcoming Star Wars project.
