Rey-Led ‘Star Wars’ Film Takes Center Stage as MandoVerse Reportedly Nears Its End

Overview

• Industry reporting from Daniel Richtman indicates The Mandalorian & Grogu and Ahsoka Season 2 are expected to conclude the MandoVerse era on Disney+.
• Daisy Ridley’s untitled feature, announced in 2023 and set about 15 years after the sequel trilogy, is positioned as Lucasfilm’s primary post-saga theatrical project focused on Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order.
• The Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy–directed film has undergone creative churn with three writers exiting, and there is no announced replacement team or updated timeline.
• Adam Driver previously pushed a standalone Ben Solo project that outlets say Disney cancelled, fueling theories that ideas from that film could be folded into the Rey movie.
• Recent Ridley interviews have reignited online “Reylo” speculation, but there is no confirmed casting for Ben Solo or verified story changes from Lucasfilm.
