Hey, Star Wars fanatics! Here’s some news you might wanna sit down for. Sounds like there’s a bit of a hiccup with that upcoming Star Wars flick with Daisy Ridley. Remember her, right? The epic Rey from the Star Wars sequel trilogy? Yep, her. Let’s jump straight into the nitty-gritty.
Unexpected Bumps on Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars Comeback
When the public heard Daisy Ridley was coming back to Star Wars in April 2023, the excitement was through the roof. Now things have taken a bit of a twist. Rumors are that the much-awaited movie is facing the odds and might not rise to the lights this year. Knowing how much you guys love Ridley and her iconic role as Rey, this is a real jaw-dropper.
What’s causing the delay? According to whispers, there’s some backstage drama going on at Lucasfilm. Interested? Let’s explore that a bit more.
Steven Knight Hops on Board: Will it Make a Difference?
You’ve probably heard of this heavyweight writer, Steven Knight. Knight joined the Star Wars crew after the initial writing team, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson, ran for the hills. Knight’s name pops because of his work on the hit show, Peaky Blinders. But even with his track record, crafting the perfect script seems to be a real doozy.
Knight has written and submitted several drafts of the movie’s script. The big boss of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, has been reviewing them. But somehow, they haven’t yet nailed the final version. This constant tug-of-war might be why the delay rumors are swirling.
The Obstacles for the New Star Wars Movie
So what’s the big deal, you ask? The new movie’s focus on a lady hero seems to be tripping up the team. Lucasfilm seems committed to agenda-driven movies, and that can be a bit of a hot potato. It has been triggering ace debates among fans and critics alike.
Knight, despite his brilliant screenwriting chops, seems to be wrestling to meet both Lucasfilm and viewer expectations. Thus, the cloud of uncertainty continues to hang over the movie.
Waiting Game for the Fans
The Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker film, that is yet to be named, doesn’t have a release date as of now. With whispers of a probable delay, it might be some time until you see Ridley swinging her lightsaber. Regardless of the holdup, we know for a fact that Star Wars fans will be on the edge of their seats for any updates on this film.
Until then, hang tight. Stay tuned for all the latest from the Star Wars universe. Keep the force with you, dear Star Wars fans. We’re all in this together.
