Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi explores origins of the Jedi

The upcoming Star Wars film is still in the very early stages of pre-production at this point. No cast, characters, or plot details have been revealed yet.

Dawn of the Jedi will likely explore the origins of the Jedi Order and feature characters that have not appeared in any of the movies or TV shows. The film may feature the group called the Dai Bendu, a religious group that was the precursor of the Jedi Order. The movie could also reveal the identity of the Prime Jedi featured in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

The film may also explore the story of how the Jedi discovered the planet Ilum. The planet is the most sacred among Jedi worlds and is the source of the Kyber crystals that power the Jedi Lightsaber. Jedi from across the galaxy travel to the Crystal Caves on Ilum to look for a Kyber crystal and being constructing their first Lightsaber.

It is not yet known at this point if Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi will be released in theaters. However, Lucasfilm describes the movie as a "biblical epic" which speaks volumes about the importance of the film. The studio will likely try to get the movie to theaters given its magnitude.

Lucasfilm has not yet announced a release date for Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi.
