“The Bourne Ultimatum” writer George Nolfi will write Daisy Ridley’s “Star Wars” project titled “New Jedi Order” for Lucasfilm, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
Ridley is attached to star. Nolfi is the latest writer to come aboard the project as Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson, along with “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight, wrote previous drafts of the script, which takes place 15 years after the events seen in 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker” with Ridley’s Rey Skywalker now a mentor to a new crop of Jedis.
Lucasfilm announced this new addition to the franchise at its Star Wars Celebration in April of 2023.
