JamesMangold's upcoming StarWars film is set during the DawnoftheJedi and could break from Skywalker tropes and pave the way for theOldRepublic.
This year’s Star Wars Celebration brought exciting new looks into upcoming projects ranging from TV to movies, as well as the announcement that James Mangold will helm an origin story of sorts set during the Dawn of the Jedi. And while this film will be looking back to the past, being set a whopping 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin depicted in Star Wars: Episode IV — New Hope, it is already poised to be one of the boldest theatrical premises for the franchise.
Maybe there are stories worth telling from characters like Vader’s perspective, as in the excellent comic book adaptations. Still, the Dawn of the Jedi era will adapt a period in the Star Wars timeline to the screen that should be fresh to audiences. Admittedly, it could be a tricky balance in keeping the air of intrigue and mysticism surrounding the Force while simultaneously showing how the first Jedi came to wield it.
Paving the way for the Old Republic Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi-set film could move the needle for Lucasfilm in terms of finally bringing forward major on-screen adaptations of the fan-favorite Old Republic era. The Extended Universe — now known as the Legends continuity — had its fair share of blunders, but this period in lore spawned arguably some of the most beloved stories in the franchise.
Origin stories do feel rather played-out in the superhero genre, but having a sort of “Star Wars origin story” in this upcoming movie could prime audiences for putting to screen more tales in this universe so far in the past from anything that feels conventional. That sentiment doesn’t feel out of place either, as the Star Wars Celebration unveiled a new official timeline that acknowledges the Old Republic period between the Dawn of the Jedi and the High Republic.
