Exciting new details about Shawn Levy’s Star Wars project have been revealed via insider DanielRPK, sparking fresh anticipation among fans of the galaxy far, far away. Known for his work on Stranger Things and Free Guy, Levy is poised to bring his unique directorial style to one of the most beloved franchises in cinematic history.
Filming Set to Begin in Fall 2025
According to recent reports, production for Levy’s Star Wars film could kick off as early as Fall 2025. Filming is expected to take place in the United Kingdom, a fitting location given its historic connection to the saga. Studios like Pinewood have long served as the backdrop for numerous Star Wars installments, adding to the sense of continuity in the series’ legacy.
While specifics about the film’s storyline remain under wraps, this timeline aligns with Lucasfilm’s broader push to reinvigorate the franchise with fresh perspectives while staying true to its roots.
A Return for Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker?
Perhaps the most intriguing tidbit is that the film was originally conceived to feature Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey Skywalker. This would have depicted Rey as an older, more seasoned Jedi, building on her journey from the sequel trilogy.
Fans have long debated the future of Rey’s character following The Rise of Skywalker (2019). The potential return of Ridley would have provided an opportunity to explore her evolution as a Jedi leader and her role in rebuilding the Order after the events of the Skywalker saga.
However, it remains unclear whether Ridley’s involvement is still part of the plan or if Levy’s vision for the film has since shifted to focus on entirely new characters and stories.
Stay tuned as more details emerge, and may the Force be with us all as we await the next chapter in this epic saga!
