New Leaked Details Reveal Unexpected Direction for Rey Skywalker's New Jedi Order Film

EXCLUSIVE: New details have reportedly surfaced regarding Lucasfilm’s upcoming Star Wars: New Jedi Order film, starring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker. If these leaks are accurate, the project is taking the franchise in a bold and unexpected direction.

A GALAXY AFTER SKYWALKER

According to sources close to the production, the film is set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, with Rey attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order on the Outer Rim planet of Tython—an ancient Force world previously referenced in The Mandalorian. The story will reportedly explore the complexities of training a new generation of Force users while facing lingering threats from remnants of the First Order who refuse to surrender.

Concept art allegedly showcases Rey wielding a unique double-bladed white lightsaber, a design that insiders say represents her forging a new Jedi path separate from past traditions. One particularly interesting detail is that the saber’s color will shift depending on Rey’s emotional state, serving as a visual representation of her internal balance. “It’s a way to physically manifest her connection to the Force,” one source explains. “And, of course, it opens up exciting opportunities for toy sales.”

A NEW THREAT EMERGES

Perhaps the most surprising detail is the rumored antagonist. According to leaks, the film’s villain may not be a traditional Sith Lord, but rather a sentient holocron housing the lingering consciousness of Emperor Palpatine (voiced once again by Ian McDiarmid). This Sith artifact is said to play a manipulative role in the story, tempting Rey’s students from the shadows and challenging the very foundation of her new Order.

“The idea is to explore the lasting influence of the Sith, even beyond physical resurrection,” a source claims. “This would give Rey a different kind of struggle—one that isn’t about destroying a person, but overcoming ideology.”

NEW FACES IN THE FORCE

Lucasfilm is also said to be introducing a new Jedi character named Grobb’it, a towering Wookiee warrior who, according to insiders, will have a “surprising voice” that defies expectations. Additionally, leaks suggest that Finn, played by John Boyega, will return as a Jedi Knight with a unique Force ability that allows him to momentarily manipulate time in five-second increments—an ability reportedly dubbed “Force Undo.”

Adding further intrigue, a late-story revelation is rumored to challenge a fundamental understanding of the Force. According to one source, midichlorians may not be microscopic lifeforms as previously believed but rather remnants of an ancient Zeffo technology. “It doesn’t change how the Force works, but it adds a new perspective on its origins,” they hint.

THE FUTURE OF STAR WARS

While Lucasfilm has yet to confirm these details, the leaks suggest a major shift in how the Star Wars mythology will evolve. If accurate, New Jedi Order could be one of the most ambitious entries in the saga yet—one that challenges long-held beliefs while setting the stage for a new era of storytelling.

Fans will have to wait for official announcements, but one thing is clear: the future of Star Wars is taking shape in unexpected ways.
