Looks like James Mangold’s Star Wars movie just added a big hitter to the writers room.
House of Cards and Andor writer Beau Willimon has signed on to work on the script for Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, the movie directed by Magold and set to explore the ancient origins of the Force and the Jedi themselves, set 25,ooo years before the Star Wars we know and love.
Talking about the project last August, Mangold explained why he wanted to explore a whole new era of the Force: “I want to be part of the saga but I also don’t want to be holding so much lore in the air that you can hardly tell a story. And what I really wanted to do, what I told her, was just can we make a kind of the Ten Commandments of the Force, you know? A kind of origin story of how the Force came to be known, understood, wielded, and harnessed.”
Sounds great and it’s exciting to see the Star Wars universe finally opened out to its full potential.
While we are waiting for Mangold’s movie to get a release date and more exciting updates, we will have Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu to enjoy in cinemas on May 22nd, 2026.
