Rumors are flying that Ray’s upcoming Star Wars Movie, thought to be titled Star Wars: New Jedi Orderis either delayed or canceled, but neither has been confirmed by Disney. New Jedi Order is one of several upcoming Star Wars Movies, and it was one of the most marketed, perhaps second only to the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie. New Jedi Order is confirmed to be appointed 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in the Star Wars timeline, but little else is known about the story.
In an interview, Rey Skywalker actress Daisy Ridley pointed out that even she hadn’t seen a script yet, because it hadn’t been written yet. It is perhaps because there is currently no script and because details about New Jedi Order It’s rare that this sound got so much traffic. however, For several reasons, rumors that New Jedi Order Is delayed or canceled are currently baseless.
Lucasfilm never officially confirmed when Rey’s New Jedi Order movie would come out
Arguably the most important point to dispel the rumors is that Lucasfilm never officially announced a release date for New Jedi Order. This means that it cannot be ‘delayed’. Initially, many believed that it would be the first new Star Wars Movie, which comes out on May 22, 2026, but it is now confirmed that it will be The Mandalorian & Grogu. Most then accepted New Jedi Order would come out on the next day Lucasfilm loosely booked, December 18, 2026. This is, however, an assumption.
There’s no way to know without an official announcement from Lucasfilm.
Maybe because The Mandalorian & Grogu And New Jedi Order Have been the most openly marketed, many assumed it would make sense for New Jedi Order To be the next day in the lineup. However, without confirmation from Lucasfilm, this remains highly speculative. It is possible that New Jedi Order Is instead always planned for the release date of December 17, 2027 or that Lucasfilm has yet to decide on a date for the movie. There’s no way to know without an official announcement from Lucasfilm.
There’s still plenty of time to make Rey’s New Jedi Order movie
Realistically, even with a December 2026 release date (which, again, is unconfirmed; it could be 2027), There is no reason to believe New Jedi Order is behind schedule. Assuming the December 18, 2026 date is reserved for Rey’s new movie, that still gives Lucasfilm more than 2 years to make the film. in comparison, The Rise of Skywalker Filming began on August 1, 2018, and the movie was released on December 16, 2019.
Star Wars Has worked on much tighter deadlines.
clearly, Star Wars Has worked on much tighter deadlines. yes, New Jedi Order Still seems to be in the earlier stages of development, as Ridley has stated. However, the two years, or possibly more, before New Jedi Order Release still gives Lucasfilm plenty of time to finalize a script and begin filming. In fact, rumors are seemingly the name of the game when it comes to the movie, as there are also many indicating that filming is set to begin in 2025 – again suggesting the movie remains on track.
Why do Star Wars fans keep thinking Rey’s New Jedi Order movie is in trouble?
With all this, the question remains, What are rumors that New Jedi Order Was delayed or canceled so prominent? This is not even the first time a wave of rumors indicating problems with the movie has occurred. In part, this may be a symptom of the divisiveness now permeating these Star Wars fanbase.
This may be a symptom of the divisiveness now permitting these Star Wars fanbase.
like The acolyte Cancellation in particular made clear, there are many who want to see Star Wars Projects that they do not enjoy fail. There were actually online celebrations in some sections of the fandom when the show was cancelled, which is a real shame. The Star Wars The sequel trilogy was extremely divisive, and some parts of the fanbase clearly want to see characters like Rey sidelined. You’d expect “fans” from Star Wars To want the franchise to succeed, even if not every project appeals to every viewer, but this is clearly not the case.
Meanwhile, there is also concern among those who want to see New Jedi Order Successful – especially since Lucasfilm has developed a reputation for behind-the-scenes drama and cancellations. Their concerns may be inadvertently fueling the rumors as well. Nevertheless, at this point, there is simply no reason to believe Star Wars: New Jedi Order is cancelled.
