18 months after it was first announced, Star Wars’ Rey movie has lost another writer.
The untitled Rey feature, starring Daisy Ridley as the Jedi in a post-Rise of Skywalker adventure, is reportedly looking for someone else to pen the script. As per Puck, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight won’t be moving forward with the project. That follows the previous departures of Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson.
"It's exciting, because there are lots of discoveries to be had, and that is going to continue to be a creative conversation," Ridley told GamesRadar+ earlier this year.
Speaking to CNN this past January, director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinroy said, "I'm very thrilled about the project because I think what we're about to create is something very special." Obaid-Chinroy added, "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."
Hopefully, there is better news for the other Star Wars movies currently in the works. The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, per Puck, has wrapped filming. A James Mangold-directed movie, set thousands of years prior to the events of the original trilogy, is also happening alongside a "Mando-verse" feature directed by Dave Filoni.
