During a recent interview with Gizmodo, Director James Mangold shared exciting details about his upcoming film, Dawn of the Jedi. Set to take place 25,000 years in the past, the movie promises to unveil a brand new era in the Star Wars canon. While many had speculated that the film would focus on the origins of the Jedi Order, Mangold's comments suggest that his story may encompass an even earlier period. Drawing inspiration from the Ten Commandments, the director aims to delve into the origins of the Force and bring a fresh perspective to the beloved franchise.
My goal is to be a part of the Star Wars saga while not burdening the story with excessive lore. I proposed to the team a concise origin story for the Force, akin to the Ten Commandments. This inspiration has been previously mentioned by Mangold, but it is often associated with the Jedi. However, if the Dawn of the Jedi movie delves into the genesis of the Force, it could occur centuries before the formation of the Jedi Order.
The Dawn Of The Jedi Film Has Been Misunderstood
The Dawn of the Jedi movie is not what we thought it would be. The era it covers pre-dates the Jedi Order and even the discovery of the Force itself. This raises the question of whether the movie could delve into the earliest days of the galaxy. While it is possible that the Prime Jedi could make an appearance, the focus seems to be more on exploring the Force itself. This could offer a unique perspective on the energy field that eventually leads to the creation of the Jedi Order.
