The Title of James Mangold’s Upcoming Star Wars Movie Is Revealed

Star Wars franchise has plenty of projects in the making, there’s two projects we are expecting this year, namely ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ and ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.’ But besides shows, there are a couple of movies in the works as well, one of them being James Mangold’s Star Wars movie, and there’s little we know about it.

Recently, however, SFX Magazin reported that Mangold’s new movie will be titled “Star Wars: Jedi Prime.’ This wasn’t confirmed in an official sense but due to the credibility of the source it’s as good as confirmed.

After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, James Mangold was initially set to direct a Boba Fett film inspired by Sergio Leone, which later evolved into the series “The Book of Boba Fett.” Mangold was then hired to direct and co-write the final Indiana Jones film, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”

At Celebration Europe on April 7, 2023, it was confirmed that Mangold would direct a Star Wars film about the origins of the Jedi. He revealed that the film, titled “Dawn of the Jedi,” would explore the formation and discovery of The Force, aiming for an epic feel similar to “The Ten Commandments” and “Ben-Hur.” Mangold used these classic films to convince Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy of the project’s potential.

I thought about a biblical epic, like a Ten Commandments and the dawning of the Force. Where did the Force come from? When did we discover it? When did we know how to use it? And a story just started developing.

The movie is supposed to take place 25, 000 BBY and besides that, we really know nothing about it, except for as it seems the title. The currently “used” title ‘Dawn of the Jedi’ will most likely be replaced. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
