The galaxy might be gearing up for its biggest cinematic crossover yet—if the latest whispers are true. According to well-known industry insider Daniel RPK, Disney is quietly mapping out a multi-film Star Wars plan that could culminate in an “Avengers: Endgame”-style blockbuster event. Yes, we’re talking lightsabers, hyperspace jumps, and possibly more than one familiar face returning to the big screen.
And at the center of it all? Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker.
Rey Skywalker: The Starting Point for a New Era
RPK claims the saga would begin with the upcoming New Jedi Order movie, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. This film would follow Rey in the years after The Rise of Skywalker, rebuilding the Jedi Order and navigating a galaxy still licking its wounds from the First Order’s defeat.
While Lucasfilm has officially confirmed the Rey-led project, they’ve kept quiet on whether it will spark a larger, interconnected storyline. But if RPK’s report is accurate, Rey’s return might just be the first domino in a very ambitious chain.
Disney’s Confidence—and Calculated Risk
The rumor suggests Disney feels confident in this plan, even seeing it as a potential Endgame-level draw. That’s a bold claim, especially considering the divisive reception to the sequel trilogy’s finale. The last time Lucasfilm tried to deliver an all-encompassing “grand finale” (The Rise of Skywalker), the result was… well, let’s say mixed.
But the House of Mouse has been here before. The Marvel Cinematic Universe proved that when the groundwork is laid carefully—over years, with patience—it’s possible to build audience anticipation to fever pitch. The question is whether Star Wars can pull off the same slow-burn buildup without rushing to the payoff.

What’s Actually Confirmed
Amid the speculation, here’s what we know for sure about the Star Wars movie slate:
- The Mandalorian & Grogu is set for release on May 22, 2026.
- The Rey Skywalker New Jedi Order film is in active development.
- James Mangold is working on a Dawn of the Jedi origin story.
- Dave Filoni is directing a New Republic-era movie that ties into The Mandalorian and related shows.
- Simon Kinberg has been tapped to develop a brand-new Star Wars trilogy.
That’s already enough projects to form the bones of a cinematic event—if Disney and Lucasfilm decide to weave them together.
Why an Endgame-Style Event Could Work
A multi-film buildup leading to a giant crossover could give Star Wars something it hasn’t had in decades: a unifying narrative across multiple eras and characters. Imagine a climactic battle that sees Rey, Grogu, Ahsoka, and new heroes sharing the screen. Throw in some deep-cut legacy characters and the nostalgia factor alone could rival a casino jackpot in terms of fan hype.
From a business perspective, the potential is massive. An interconnected Star Wars saga would fuel not just movie ticket sales, but also merchandise, streaming tie-ins, books, comics, and—yes—even themed esports tournaments or gambling promotions tied to in-universe games like Sabacc.
The Potential Pitfalls
Of course, not every high-stakes bet pays off. The sequel trilogy’s uneven reception is still fresh in the public mind, and trying to fast-track a galaxy-spanning crossover could lead to narrative shortcuts. The MCU’s recent struggles also serve as a cautionary tale: even an empire can stumble if quantity starts outweighing quality.
Lucasfilm’s challenge will be pacing. Audiences want payoff, but they also want to care about the characters and stakes leading up to it. Without that emotional investment, an “Endgame” moment risks feeling like little more than a flashy lightsaber duel.
What Happens Next?
Right now, RPK’s scoop is firmly in the “credible rumor” category—exciting to think about, but not backed by any official confirmation. Disney and Lucasfilm are likely keeping their cards close to the chest until production schedules are clearer.
Still, the pieces are on the board. The projects in development span multiple timelines and creative voices, and if they’re designed to converge, Star Wars could be heading for its most ambitious cinematic moment since Return of the Jedi.
