But now that James Mangold is attached to the colossal saga, all of this seems to be about to change.
As fans already know, the renowned mastermind of the action genre is all set to helm one of the upcoming films for the sci-fi franchise,Dawn of the Jedi. But he isn’t the only mastermind connected to the film.

The upcoming Lucasfilm feature that has filmmaker Mangold at its helm has recently earned a new addition to the offscreen crew. As per exclusive reports fromThe Hollywood Reporter,The Firstplaywright cum scriptwriter Beau Willimon has joined the ensemble as one of the writers for the upcoming film.
For all the fans of the sci-fi franchise, this is nothing short of music to the ears because of all the acclaimed work Willimon has presented them with before.

Then there’s the brilliant directorJames Mangoldhimself, who has shared that this upcoming installment helmed by him would be a“biblical epic.”
As shared by THR,theLogandirectoris cited to have said“while sharing what kind of genre of movie within Star Wars I wanted to do”:
