Star Wars Rey Movie Put On Hold, Is It Canceled?

Several Star Wars projects have been announced with no release date or production information, just like the Rey movie. Other untitled movies include a Dave Filoni film about the New Republic, a James Mangold project about the origins of the Jedi, and mysterious films from Shawn Levy and Taika Waititi. In addition to the numerous film projects, the Lando series announced in 2020 has been left in limbo, but is now reported as being reworked as a movie. 

With so many projects in unconfirmed states of pre-production, rumors about Star Wars have gone wild and the Ray movie is no exception. Rumors about the movie being canceled have circulated frequently, likely fueled in part by the divisive nature of the franchise’s sequel trilogy. Similar rumors have appeared about the Taika Waititi-directed film, but with no confirmation.
