Shawn Levy's Star Wars Adventure: A Whole New Galaxy Far, Far Away?
Yo, Star Wars fans! The Force is definitely strong with Shawn Levy! He's working on a brand-new Star Wars movie that, well, nobody really knows what it's about! What's amazing is that the big news is it will take place somewhere new. Shawn was asked about what we could expect and his response, which is actually pretty important for Star Wars as a whole.
Apparently, Shawn doesn’t want to give us some remake of the old stories. No way, he's going for something unique - a totally different chapter of the Star Wars timeline! That's huge for those of us who've seen almost every version of the Movies, but don't want a recycled plot or the same storylines we've already seen!
Breaking the Skywalker Saga - Beyond "Rise of Skywalker"?
Alright, so Rise of Skywalker was, like, the last chapter of that saga. It might've ended pretty messily for everyone who is part of the Skywalker family but it's important to think of it as a period, an era, you know? And apparently, this new Star Wars movie that Levy is doing is taking us past that timeframe.
If you're thinking "Okay, so it's just about Rey's new Jedi Order!" well, that movie is confirmed! They're already calling it New Jedi Order and will feature Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey, so it's pretty awesome. But the exciting thing about this whole “new Star Wars timeline” thing, is that we might see a new prequel series, too! Yeah, it’s still very hush-hush but apparently this one is titled Dawn of the Jedi and we’re thinking about 25,000 years before The Phantom Menace! Think of all the stuff that could happen back then: Jedi in training, how those Jedi rules were created in the first place - it could be huge!
A New Star Wars Universe
Right now, we know that Levy has some pretty awesome ideas about how this new movie should feel. He’s going to keep some core Star Wars vibes, of course, with the Force and those big universal themes, but he wants a unique vision. And he wants his story to have tons of action! You can definitely count on a lot of amazing lightsaber battles! We already know what to expect: some incredible visuals and some real feel-good, emotional moments - a big ol' reminder about that awesome 'bigger picture' stuff! That’s all those messages about teamwork and finding the good in humanity, so yeah, definitely getting Star Wars vibes here.
Levy was a director for Deadpool & Wolverine so his new movie might have that quirky and super fun side too. Maybe even some action sequences, if it fits into this world and timeframe. We know this new Star Wars movie could really go anywhere – from a hidden civilization that we've never even seen on-screen, a bunch of new planets and alien characters – the whole Galaxy is literally his oyster! It could become the new “Game of Thrones" or, better, it could be something new - an all-out action and adventure saga that takes us to the outer reaches of the galaxy that feels super special and fresh, like something from a completely different, super rad book that hasn’t even been made into a film yet. We just don't know what kind of adventure awaits us! And with more movie updates, we'll definitely get more clues about Levy’s big plan!
Star Wars Timeline: A Brief Rundown
Okay, let's take a look back at how Star Wars time works – which is a little mind-boggling when you think about it: the Movies already covered hundreds of years of time.
The Skywalker Saga started with Phantom Menace and ended with Rise of Skywalker. But those are only the movies, and since then, we've had the whole Mandalorian universe! We even had those great stories, like The Acolyte that showed us the High Republic era (the stories about the Jedi were epic!). The important thing is we’ve learned to stop trying to guess how the next movie fits into the existing storyline, and get ready to accept the next movie may take us anywhere the writers and directors want it to go.
What to Expect from this New Star Wars Timeline
We're talking about new storylines, new eras, maybe new aliens! That’s one of the big promises for this "new era". We have all of this "Force"-related magic, the Jedi, and Sith stuff - it’s definitely exciting stuff. You know, it's cool to see how these moviemakers will approach those “timeless” themes, from finding goodness in the middle of darkness to facing down the ultimate evil! The potential for this new universe is endless! We might just see a Jedi that we've never imagined!
With a little patience, we'll definitely get some answers, hopefully some pretty spectacular reveals (I'm thinking those new planet designs!) from this upcoming Star Wars universe. This isn't just a case of throwing some Star Wars movie up on the screen; this could be an exciting journey - an adventure that could redefine the future of the franchise and redefine how people think about that far, far away galaxy. We can't wait to see what this Star Wars journey has in store! It could be mind-blowing.
