George Nolfi, known for his writing work on films like The Bourne Ultimatum and Ocean’s 12, has been tapped to write New Jedi Order, the upcoming Star Wars film re-centring Daisy Ridley’s Rey.

This follows several high-profile writers boarding, then leaving, the project that was first announced almost two years ago. Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, Lost) and Justin Britt-Gibson were the initial writers on the project. By the time Ridley was revealed to be the film’s intended star, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight had replaced the duo behind the keyboard. A year later, Knight was no longer attached.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, known for her documentary filmmaking, will make her narrative feature debut with the project. The new story is said to take place 15 years after the events of 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, with Ridley’s Rey now a mentor to a new crop of Jedis.

As well as the aforementioned Bourne Ultimanum and Ocean’s 12, George Nolfi is best known for writing The Banker and The Adjustment Bureau (which also served as his directorial debut). Most recently, he directed the postapocalyptic thriller Elevation, starring Antony Mackie.

Star Wars: New Jedi Order does not yet have a release date, but stay tuned for more information as we learn it.
