Beau Willimon, the creator of the acclaimed series 'House of Cards,' is set to co-write the script for the upcoming Lucasfilm project 'Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi.' Joining him in this endeavor is James Mangold, who will also take on the directorial duties for the film. This highly-anticipated project will delve into the origins of the Force, set a staggering 25,000 years before any other 'Star Wars' installment seen to date.
According to Mangold, the film aims to narrate the complete story of the birth of the Force, a pivotal element in the 'Star Wars' universe. He envisions the project as a grand epic akin to 'Ben-Hur' or 'The Ten Commandments,' shedding light on the mystical force that has become a cornerstone of the franchise. The narrative will explore fundamental questions such as the discovery of the Force, its earliest practitioners, and the inception of the Jedi Order.
