Beau Willimon will cowrite director James Mangold’s Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi,<\/em> a prequel set 25,000 years before any other Star Wars<\/em> project to date. Willimon, who will cowrite Dawn of the Jedi<\/em> with Mangold, previously wrote for the first season of the Disney+ series Andor<\/em> starring Diego Luna.<\/p>\n When Lucasfilm announced Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi<\/em> in 2023, Mangold told Variety<\/em><\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s a chance to tell the entire story of its own, the birth of the Force. When I first talked to Kathy Kennedy about it, I just said, \u2018I just see this opening to make kind of a Ben-Hur<\/em> or The Ten Commandments<\/em> about the birth of the Force.\u2019 The Force has become a kind of religious legend that spans through all these movies. But where did it come from? How is it found? Who found it? Who was the first Jedi? And that\u2019s what I\u2019m writing right now.\u201d<\/p>\n According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, \u201cThe feature has no release date, but Mangold is expected to turn his attention to Dawn of the Jedi<\/em> after he wraps A Complete Unknown<\/em><\/a>, his Bob Dylan biopic that stars Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and is being made by Disney arm Searchlight Pictures. The next Star Wars<\/em> movie is slated to be The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em><\/a>, which on Friday received a May 22, 2026 release date.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2018Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi’ Cowriter Beau Willimon Wrote Three Episodes of \u2018Andor’<\/h2>\n
