18 monthsafter it was first announced, Star Wars’ Rey movie has lost another writer.

“It’s exciting, because there are lots of discoveries to be had, and that is going to continue to be a creative conversation,” Ridleytold GamesRadar+earlier this year.

Hopefully, there is better news for the other Star Wars movies currently in the works. The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, per Puck, has wrapped filming. A James Mangold-directed movie, set thousands of years prior to the events of the original trilogy, is also happening alongside a “Mando-verse” feature directed by Dave Filoni.

I’m the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you’ll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
