Kathleen Kennedy explains why the Rey and James Mangold Star Wars movies are linked
Exclusive: Kathleen Kennedy explains how Rey's Star Wars movie links to the origins of the For🅰ce

Some of the most exciting news stories to arrive from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Celebration 2023 were the reveals that Daisy Ridley's Rey will be returning in a new movie set after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Rise of Skywalker – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史𓃲查询:Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold🦄 will be helming his own Star Wars movie about the origins of the 𓃲Force.
Rey's movie is set to focus on the rebuilding of the Jedi Order, but, of course, she won't be the first to try and restore the Jedi to their former glory. As we've seen across the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus TV shows and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last Jedi, Luke Sky𝔍walker did his best to buil🐻d his own Jedi academy, though ultimately his efforts were destroyed by Kylo Ren.
Considering that history, how will Rey's Star Wars movie break new ground, then? "I think what's always great about Star Wars is it's a big galaxy, and we're coming off what was a major war with the First Order," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy tells GamesRadar+, while discussing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. "And now, Rey has made a promise to Luke and that's really the core of where we're going and what this story ꦰwill be. And I think it offers just tremendous opportunity to introduce new characters and start with something fresh, because we culminated with what George [Lucas] was creating, and now we take all of that and move it to the next chapter."
As for Mangold's movie, that film will take us back a long way on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars timeline to the Force's very beginnings. Kennedy tells us that this has been a major consideration for some time. "That's 🅺come up a lot, from the moment I stepped in and George brought me into the company, there's been a lot of interest in that," she explains.
While Rey's movie is all about the future, Mangold's will look to the distant past; but, according to Kennedy, the two share surprising connective tissue. "It was something that Jim [Mangold] immediately sparked to, and I think it's a really nice compliment to what we're doing with moving into the future with Rey, and then understanding a bit more of where this all came from," she explains. ꦛ"Because it will be at the heart of creating the new Jedi Order, so to get a real sense of where that might have began with the dawn of the Jedi could be pretty cool."
