Director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has teased the upcoming Rey Skywalker-focused Star Wars movie, describing it as “very special.”
In an interview with CNN, Obaid-Chinoy briefly mentioned that she is thrilled about helming the forthcoming Star Wars movie and that, given it’s now 2024, she’s glad a Star Wars movie is being directed by a woman.
“I’m very thrilled about the project because I feel what we’re about to create is something very special,” Obaid-Chinoy stated. “And we’re in 2024 now, and it’s about time that we had a woman come forward to shape a story in a galaxy far, far away.”
The film will take place over a decade after the events in The Rise of Skywalker and focus on Rey as she builds upon the New Jedi Order.
Who is writing the Rey Skywalker Star Wars movie?
The movie is being directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel) and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. It will star Daisy Ridley as Rey, who last appeared in Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker, which she described as her favorite filming experience.
As of now, the last Star Wars film released in theaters was also 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. The film grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, but the final installment in the sequel trilogy was the lowest-growing and received mixed reviews from fans and critics.
