Daisy Ridley Provides Update on New Jedi Order Film

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Daisy Ridley has shared exciting new details about her upcoming film, tentatively titled “Star Wars: New Jedi Order,” reassuring fans about its progress during a press tour for her latest movie, “Cleaner.” Ridley, who reprises her role as Rey, expressed her enthusiasm for the project while mentioning that screenwriter George Nolfi is currently refining the script.

In a recent interview with ComicBook, Ridley stated, “I have not read the latest script, but I know what’s happening, and I know the story. […] I think we’re making sure that this story is the best way to tell the story, and I think it will be worthwhile for everyone watching it.” Her comments suggest confidence in the film’s direction and narrative.

Ridley further clarified her level of involvement in the project, stating, “I don’t know that I’d be a producer on it, but I certainly have been very involved. […] I’m aware of all that. And I think what’s been really wonderful over the last few years is being more involved from the start to finish.” Her remarks indicate a significant degree of communication with the film’s creative team.

The plot of “New Jedi Order” centers on Rey’s journey following the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” While specific details remain under wraps, Ridley hinted at a narrative focused on Rey potentially seeking out other Force-sensitive individuals and working toward the reestablishment of the Jedi Order. However, she acknowledged the challenges stemming from previous attempts to restore the Order. “Rebuilding the Jedi Order never seems to go that well, and the same pitfalls ensue,” she noted.

As for the film’s overall production, Ridley expressed enthusiasm for the collaborative efforts behind the scenes. “These are the best actors for the job. This is the best crew for the job,” she said. “Having that confidence is so lovely.” Ridley’s commitment to the project seems to stem from a desire to create the best experience for audiences, reflecting her dedication to the character of Rey.

Ridley also spoke about her upcoming action film, “Cleaner,” which premieres in theaters on February 21. The film features her in the role of Joey Locke, a military veteran turned window cleaner who faces a crisis when her workplace is taken over by activists. Ridley drew parallels between her preparation for the action-oriented role and performances by actor Tom Cruise, citing his fearless stunts as inspiration.

The announcement of the new Jedi film has generated excitement among fans and media alike, with Ridley’s positive outlook aimed at alleviating concerns regarding its development. With production details still emerging, fans are eagerly anticipating further updates on “New Jedi Order” throughout the year.
