STAR WARS: EPISODE X - A NEW BEGINNING May Be The Title Of Rey-Focused Movie After All

Despite reports to the contrary, it seems Lucasfilm's Rey-focused movie starring Daisy Ridley may be titled Star Wars: Episode X - A New Beginning after all...

A rumor did the rounds last year (see below) that Lucasfilm's planned Rey-focused Star Wars movie was going to be titled "A New Beginning." This appeared to be debunked shortly after, and the project has been referred to as "New Jedi Order" ever since.

However, it seems the initial report may have been accurate after all.

According to Production List (via The DisInsider) the movie is set to begin filming at Pinewood Studios in London this September, and is currently listed as Star Wars: Episode X – A New Beginning.

"The production of A New Beginning is set to be a monumental effort, aiming to capture the expansive universe that fans have come to love. Filming is scheduled to begin later this year, with pre-production activities already underway. The production will span multiple locations worldwide, utilizing a mix of real-world settings and advanced studio environments to bring the galaxy far, far away to life. Cutting-edge technology, including the latest in CGI and practical effects, will be employed to maintain the high visual standards of the franchise."

There is always a chance this is another working or temporary title, but with shooting scheduled to commence just a few months from now, we wouldn't be at all surprised if this turned out to be the final title.

Plot details are still under wraps, but we know that the film will be set a whole fifteen years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, and that that Rey will be a "powerful Jedi master" running her own training academy when we catch up with her.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is on board to direct.

Star Daisy Ridley addressed her return as the powerful Force-wielder for the first time since Celebration during a 2023 interview with Collider.

"I was shitting myself before I went on stage, because no one knew I was going to that," she said of her surprise appearance at the Celebration panel. "No one knew I was going to Celebration, bar like Kathy [Kennedy] and there were a couple of people. I was so nervous. Oh my God. It was such a wonderful reception. I'm very excited. The story is really cool. I'm waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don't have any other updates. It's not what I expected, but I'm very excited."

Ridley remained tight-lipped about the story, but she did appear to confirm that the movie will be the next big-screen Star Wars project to enter production.

"I know the storyline for one film. That's not to say that that's all it is, but that's what I was told about. And I imagine it will be the next film, I think. I mean, again, I don't know, post strikes and everything, how quickly everything will start up again. But yes, so far, I know the story of one film and I think people will be very excited."

Are you looking forward to Rey's return? What do you make of the rumored title? Drop us a comment down below.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy seems about as likable in interviews as Leslie Hedland. I bet this will do well and be incredibly popular with the fan base.

@mountainman - It will never not be weird how “fans” are more triggered by the women behind Star Wars than interested in Star Wars itself

@mountainman - Calling you names? What names? Why don’t you tag the sheriff. Here, I’ll do it for you @TwoByFour. See what he thinks.

@mountainman - One turd after another...it'll just be another Disney Wars bomb.Only Disney has the talent to kill off Star Wars and heading that way with Marvel....that's some special type of talent Disney has running things there.

@FireandBlood - You’ve called me triggered (in this thread), a bigot, racist, a homophobe, a transphobe, and a misogynist on this platform in the past. I have never called you any names.

I think content moderators more often than not create problems (see the hell hole that is Reddit as an easy example) but it’s not my site and they are free to institute whatever policies they want. I just am not a rat. I don’t tell on people like a sniveling child.

It was a joke. Kind of like my initial post in this thread that ruffled your jimmies so much.

But by the letter of their rules, you have violated those (in this thread even) more often than I have.

It’s sad that you don’t understand nuance and context and needed all that spelled out for you.
