Writer Out for New Jedi Order Movie

Another Star Wars movie writer has hit the eject button. Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) is out as writer for Star Wars: New Jedi Order movie that would focus on Rey (Daisy Ridley). He was the replacement for original writers Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson. Why he left or was kicked off the project is unknown but its not entirely a surprise as the Star Wars movies seem to go through several writers and directors before reaching the screen, if they don't get outright cancelled first. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is currently still the director of the film which is targeting a December 2026 release date which is becoming more unlikely to achieve.
