Development
At Star Wars Celebration London in April 2023, Lucasfilm announced that James Mangold—who directed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) for the studio—would write and direct a Star Wars film set in the "Dawn of the Jedi" era. He said it would explore the origins of the Force and the first Jedi, and had pitched it to Kennedy as being akin to the epic religious films Ben-Hur (1959) and The Ten Commandments (1956).[1] Mangold had begun writing the script. He was working on a planned Swamp Thing film for the DC Universe franchise at the same time, and was unsure which project would move forward first following his Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.[11] Beau Willimon, a writer on the Star Wars television series Andor, was hired to co-write the screenplay with Mangold in April 2024. The film, which was being referred to by the working title Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, was expected to be the focus for Mangold following his work on A Complete Unknown.[12]
