Star Wars sequel trilogy lead Daisy Ridley has commented on the rumored title of the Rey Skywalker movie and the status of the film’s script.
Speaking to Collider, Ridley was asked if the Rey Skywalker Star Wars movie was going to be called New Jedi Order as recent rumors have suggested. The actress wasn’t aware of the title and revealed that she has yet to see the finished script, though she’ll be reading it “imminently.”
“I don’t know! I mean, I think so,” Ridley stated. “From the announcement, I don’t think that’s changed … A script is happening, and I’m going to be reading it imminently, which is very exciting.”
The Rey-focused 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 Skywalker, who last appeared in Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker, which she described as her favorite filming experience.
