THREE NEW MOVIES
Despite thriving on streaming, Star Wars is experiencing a fallow period on the big screen. All that is set to change with three freshly announced movies delving into the past, present and future of a new ‘mythological timeline’.
First up (chronologically, anyway): James Mangold will direct a movie exploring the ‘dawn of the Jedi’. Set 25,000 years before the original trilogy it will ‘tell the tale of the first Jedi to wield the Force’, according to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. For Mangold the idea was to resurrect a long-dormant genre, twist. ‘I thought about the biblical epic, like a ,’ Mangold said. ‘Where did the Force come from? When did we discover it? When did we know how to use it?’
