Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy revealed the news at Star Wars Celebration on Friday
Three new Star Wars films are officially in development, including one that will explore the origins of the Jedi Order. Star Wars Celebration 2023 is being held this weekend, and within hours of kick-off fans have been blessed with a major announcement regarding the cinematic future of the franchise.
Kennedy said Dawn of the Jedi – described as a “biblical epic” – will tell “the tale of the first Jedi to wield the force and harness its liberating power in an era of chaos and oppression.” The Mandalorian executive producer Dave Filoni will also direct a new chapter in the Star Wars saga alongside producer Jon Favreau.
Their flick will be set in the era of the New Republic, and will wrap up the interconnected stories told in Disney+ shows The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and the upcoming Ahsoka – colloquially known as the MandoVerse. And as if that wasn’t enough, Kennedy revealed a star from the Star Wars sequel trilogy is to make a surprise return to the franchise.
