James Mangold’s Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi lands Andor writer

April 7, 2024 by EJ Moreno

James Mangold’s Star Wars film has found its writing team as THR reports Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi has enlisted Beau Willimon (House of Cards) to co-write the screenplay alongside Mangold.

The upcoming film will trace the origins of the Force and be set “25,000 years before any of the timelines and stories told by the movies and shows so far.”

Dawn of the Jedi was first announced at the Star Wars Celebration in London in April 2023. Mangold’s film has no current release date, but it will begin production soon after he wraps A Complete Unknown, his Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet.

Willimon has previously worked in the Star Wars universe; he wrote three episodes on season one of Andor, the acclaimed and Emmy-nominated Star Wars series.

“When I first started talking to Kathy [Kennedy] about doing one of these pictures, what occurred to me was thinking about what kind of genre of movie within Star Wars I wanted to do,” said Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director Mangold back when the film was first announced. “And I thought about a biblical epic, like a Ten Commandments, about the dawning of the Force. Where did the Force come from, when did we discover it, when did we learn how to use it?”

Beyond that, there’s little else known about Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi. The next Star Wars movie will be The Mandalorian & Grogu, scheduled for release on May 22nd, 2026.
