Curious about how this new movie will differ from its predecessors? Keep reading for the exciting details and what Mangold has to say about this groundbreaking Star Wars film!
This movie will take the story 25,000 years before the known events of the saga. Speaking to MovieWeb, Mangold explained that his aim is to tell a completely original story, without adhering to the established narratives of the series.
Mangold noted that the project will resemble epic films like The Ten Commandments. The production date for this project, announced by Lucasfilm in April 2023, has yet to be revealed.
He also gained attention this year with his film A Complete Unknown, which focuses on the life of Bob Dylan and has been a contender in the awards season. This fresh approach to the Star Wars universe has sparked significant interest among the franchise's fans.
