Writer Damon Lindelof has opened up about his Star Wars exit, only half a year after his involvement in a feature film was announced. Now that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Star Wars film centered on Rey Skywalker has been officially announced, it was also confirmed that this was the initial project Lindelof was hired for. However, Lindelof left the project in February 2023, with Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight hired to rewrite the script.
