Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Rey's upcoming new Jedi Order movie will be connected to the Jedi origin film in the Star Wars franchise. During the Star Wars Celebration 2023 event, Kennedy announced the release of three movies in the expanding franchise. James Mangold will explore the story of the first Force user, Dave Filoni will tie together the various storylines of The Mandalorian era, and Shareem Obaid-Chinoy will continue Rey Skywalker's journey. In an interview with Games Radar, Kennedy revealed that there will be strong thematic and conceptual connections between Rey's movie and Mangold's film about the dawn of the Jedi. This connection will provide insight into the origins of the new Jedi Order and create an exciting narrative experience for audiences.
What Will Rey Know About The Dawn Of The Jedi?
Mangold's film has been described as the beginning of the Jedi era, but it could potentially go back even further than 25,000 years. It has been hinted that Mangold is exploring the Ten Commandments of the Force, the story of the original Force user. This means that he is delving into a time before the Jedi and the Dai Bendu, when the teachings of the Force were not yet organized. It's an exciting concept, indicating that Mangold's narrative goes beyond just the origins of the Jedi.
Rey's understanding of this ancient period will naturally be limited. However, she obtained ancient Jedi texts in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which possibly contain information about the first Force users. Moreover, Rey possesses the Force ability of psychometry, enabling her to experience the past by touching people or objects. With this ability, she could easily uncover lost secrets from the depths of time, and perhaps establish a direct thematic connection between these different Star Wars movies.
