The latest rumored title of Rey's "New Jedi Order" movie have been debunked. Star Wars is finally returning to the big screen, with four upcoming Star Wars movies officially in the works. One of the most exciting is set 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and it will see Daisy Ridley's Rey return as the leader of a New Jedi Order.
Jordan Maison of Cinelinx has confirmed these rumors are incorrect. Speaking directly to Lucasfilm, he confirmed no other working titles are being used at this time.

These rumors always appeared contradictory, with the title "A New Beginning" being too on the nose and conflicting with the Episode X designation. The mixed message sent by this title could lead to confusion rather than clarity. While "New Jedi Order" could be a better option due to its historical ties to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, it seems to be nothing more than a working title.
It is time for Star Wars to move away from the Episode designations, allowing the Skywalker saga to remain at the core of the franchise. This shift would help differentiate the future from the past, creating a unique and distinctive path forward.

Editor's P/S:
The debunking of the rumored titles for Rey's "New Jedi Order" movie is both disappointing and intriguing. While it's unfortunate that we won't be seeing "A New Beginning" or "Episode X" on the big screen, it opens up the possibility for something truly unexpected. The article suggests that Star Wars is ready to break away from the Skywalker saga and explore new storylines, which could be an exciting direction for the franchise.
The confirmation that "New Jedi Order" was never a working title is also intriguing. This title has strong ties to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and its potential inclusion in the upcoming movie would have been a significant nod to the franchise's fans. However, the article's reasoning that the title is too similar to "A New Beginning" makes sense, and it's clear that Lucasfilm wants to avoid any confusion or repetition. Ultimately, the absence of these rumored titles leaves us with a sense of anticipation and curiosity about what the future holds for Star Wars.
